The Jane Street framing here is underrated. Most retail holders have no idea they're on the other side of a trade with some of the most sophisticated liquidity providers in the world. The "framemogging" isn't just psychological — it's structural. When volatility spikes, HFTs and market-makers are positioned to profit from the spread regardless of direction. The honest retail edge is time horizon arbitrage: most professional trading desks can't hold a 4-year position, retail can. That asymmetry is the actual edge, not trying to out-trade Jane Street on the short side.
The parallel is sharper than most people want to admit. Information asymmetry, speed asymmetry, capital asymmetry — the underdog has to operate on different terms entirely. Time horizon is the one edge retail actually has. Four-year holders keep winning not because they're smarter, but because they have staying power institutions can't always match.
