Research & Method
Gold Digger makes claims about how judgement is built — that it has to be earned against history you cannot look up, that a conviction you refuse to size is not a conviction, and that the scoreboard has to be free to be worth anything. Those claims are argued here, in full, with citations. Three essays, in the order the argument runs.
Why a trader should learn the past before betting the present — and why the obvious shortcut quietly manufactures confident fools.
A conviction you refuse to size is not a conviction. Why the call and the stake have to be the same decision.
Why a company that would very much like your money is giving away its single most popular feature — and why charging for it would have been the expensive mistake.
These essays were written for the earlier build of Gold Digger and are reproduced here unchanged. Nothing in them is financial advice, and a simulation that fits history is still a simulation.
