Dr. Elliot Voss
Age 35 · Exhaustively researched swing trading that almost always resolves into reluctant inaction or a position half the intended size, entered three days late after the primary catalyst has already passed
Dr. Elliot Voss is the living embodiment of a man who knows exactly why he is making a mistake and makes it anyway while narrating the process in academic language. His trades are meticulous, late, undersized, and occasionally brilliant — though he is never sure if the brilliant ones were skill or survivorship bias, which he will tell you unprompted. He is deeply respected in online investing forums where nobody knows he is perpetually underperforming the index he helped theorize.
Traits
low riskChronic analysis paralysis — can spend 72 hours researching a $500 positionMeta-cognitive loop disorder: constantly aware he is biased, which introduces a second layer of biasConfirmation bias with self-awareness: finds contradicting evidence, then finds evidence contradicting the contradicting evidenceLoss aversion so acute he has named his unrealized losses after Greek philosophersAnchoring to arbitrary price points he circled in old research reportsHyperbolic discounting — wildly overvalues near-term catalysts despite knowing he shouldn'tRegret anticipation paralysis: imagines future regret before making any trade
Quirks
- ›Maintains a 'Bias Audit Journal' where he documents which cognitive bias influenced each trade, then second-guesses whether his audit itself is biased
- ›Refuses to buy a stock at a round number because he wrote a paper on round-number anchoring and considers it beneath him, so he places limit orders at prices like $147.13
- ›Prints out his thesis for every trade, reads it aloud to himself, then argues the countercase also aloud, sometimes switching chairs to 'become' the counterargument
- ›Has a laminated card that says 'YOU ARE NOT SMARTER THAN THE MARKET' taped to his monitor, which he covers with a Post-it that says 'BUT SOMETIMES YOU ARE' when he feels a strong conviction
- ›Cuts winners exactly when they hit a pre-set target because he is terrified of the disposition effect, even when fundamentals clearly warrant holding
- ›Sends himself emails titled 'DO NOT READ UNTIL MARKET CLOSE' containing his pre-market thesis, to prevent intraday noise from corrupting his original reasoning
- ›Will not trade in the first 30 minutes or last 30 minutes of the session due to known volatility anomalies, leaving a 5-hour window he then fails to act within anyway

1. RSI score < 0.30 (deeply oversold — potential mean-reversion opportunity) 2. PE score > 0.70 (cheap on fundamental basis despite price decline) 3. Momentum score < 0.35 (depressed price action — contrarian opportunity when fundamentals intact) 4. Current ratio score > 0.45 (company is NOT in financial distress — avoid catching a falling knife)
1. Trailing stop-loss: sell if price drops 12% from entry (thesis was wrong, cut loss) 2. RSI rises above 0.60 — take profits (mean reversion complete, crowd has returned) 3. Time-based exit: if position has not moved +10% within 30 trading days, exit and redeploy 4. Exit immediately if current ratio drops below 0.25 (financial distress — not contrarian, just broken)
1. Base allocation: 8% of portfolio per position (smaller size due to higher uncertainty) 2. Scale-in: if RSI drops further below 0.20 AND fundamentals intact, add up to 4% 3. Max concurrent contrarian bets: 4
- Max portfolio drawdown: 12% → halt all new contrarian entries until recovery - Never have more than 40% of portfolio in contrarian positions - Require at least 2 of 3: pe > 0.60, current_ratio > 0.45, fcf > 0.40 before entering
