Frequently asked questions
What is a 'crayon drawing' in trading?
It's a mocking term for crude, sloppy technical analysis. The joke is that WallStreetBets members are too 'smooth-brained' for real charts, so their trend lines are scribbles drawn in crayon.
Why crayons specifically?
It ties into the running WSB gag that members literally eat crayons because they're unsophisticated, so 'crayon drawing' extends that self-deprecating identity to their chart analysis.
Is calling something a crayon drawing an insult?
It's usually self-deprecating and joking rather than a genuine attack — traders often describe their own charts that way to preempt criticism and lean into the WSB humor.
