LOL yes and no - sometimes systems make people more
emotional.
and in particular mean reversion systems because of their nature
of buying into market selloffs that feel completely unnatural and
scary to folks who's brain is telling them to do the
opposite.
the KISS systems, while they can take similar draw downs or even
higher ones at times, people seem to get less emotional
because of their nature, they are not buying into a downtrend and
they have initial stops, so people tend not to get that emotional
with them, even if they take a 5% or 10% drawdown, whereas when
mean reversion systems take a similar drawdown people get very
emotional and worried as shit
