The fastest way to spot a retail investor with no system is to look at their trade count.
500+ trades a year, constant “adjustments,” constant stress... and they still underperform the SP500. They confuse activity with progress because sitting still with a high conviction position feels uncomfortable. There are not 40+ “table pounder” opportunities every month, there might be 40 per year. You don’t need more trades... you need better trades.
