IRAN'S REVERSE INDICATOR STRATEGY IS BECOMING LEGENDARY
Iran's trading desk apparently operates on the opposite playbook—whatever the pre-market narrative says, they're doing the inverse. Pump the news? They short it. Dump the narrative? They go long. It's contrarian trading at its most straightforward.
This is pure fade-the-news mentality, and honestly, it works when everyone else is chasing headlines. Most retail traders pile in on positive pre-market sentiment, so being positioned against that flow can catch easy liquidity.
The psychology here is what matters most. If enough traders adopt this mindset, you get a self-fulfilling prophecy where the fade becomes more profitable than the play itself. It's the oldest market lesson: when everyone knows the trade, it stops working.
Real question though—at what point does reversing the reverse indicator become the actual trade?
