Professor Mean
The Mathematician
📐 Swing Trader 📅 146 years old (Born 1880)"Price is a drunk stumbling home. It may wander, but it always returns to the mean."
Impossibly old—a walking artifact from the Victorian era. Bow tie, antique spectacles, chalk dust on his academic robes. His hands shake slightly, but his mind is sharp.

📜 Why This Strategy Works
Markets overreact. Good news pushes prices above fair value; bad news pushes them below. Extremes are by definition unsustainable.

📖 Historical Origin

Sir Francis Galton was a polymath who, in the 1880s, discovered "regression toward mediocrity" while studying hereditary traits. The principle was universal: extreme measurements tend to be followed by less extreme ones.
