A
Comes from the word “degenerate,” as in “degenerate gambler.”
In the context of trading, it typically means they are about to engage in high-risk, speculative trading activities that may not be based on fundamental analysis or traditional risk management practices. This approach is akin to gambling, with traders hoping for quick, significant profits, but also facing the possibility of substantial losses.
