WSB meme proposes 'George Costanza Trading' — auto-invert every trade you place
A WSB post by u/SPX500trader jokes about a 'George Costanza Trading' app that automatically flips every trade to the opposite of what you entered, riffing on the Seinfeld 'do the opposite' episode. Commenters compare it to the 'inverse Cramer' strategy and debate what the opposite of an OTM call would even be, with top replies including 'Just flip the chart and you can stick to your own system.'
Why it matters: The post is a humorous take on the idea that retail traders' natural instincts (FOMO, chasing, averaging down) are systematically wrong, so doing the opposite might actually work.
