You know that there are people who trade profitably. What you said above just says you haven't found your niche/path/method. For many or most, trading profitably isn't about a "system" that's right most of the time. Some have suggested that you look at which methods are useful under specific conditions, and when they cease to be useful. Since you have worked with so many, perhaps that should be your next area of learning ... which might teach you something about trading ... which is different. As I mentioned in a previous post, I think you would benefit from working at a pace that does not disrupt you as several of your posts indicate. Also most people work better without a financial gun pointed at them. There's a lot to be said for being really good at practicing. PS: Who's June ?
If you know there are tons out there that are > 60% in the long term...why are you not using one of them ??? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you wrote but it seems like your complaint is that you're not able to design/automate one for yourself that has a similar like performance as the ones out there that are > 60%. wrbtrader
@schweiz, Can you throw bones on some high level out-of-the box ideas that can be tested? One idea I thought about are the opening gaps from overnight sessions- not trading them in a traditional sense as commonly found in the media, but instead defining trend following strategy around it. Any other ideas that you can share?
Your first post. Perhaps you should read this: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/all-market-gains-since-1993-have-occurred-after-hours.331650/ Have a nice day.
Thank you, @ironchef. The idea looks interesting. Will need to do some backtesting to validate the idea.
There's more fraud in the United States than India. United States @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fraud_in_the_United_States India @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fraud_in_India The above is just a general list. Yet, my brother that's in IT once told me the U.S. has more frauds in IT than any other country in the banking system although I'm not sure where he gets his data from. His boss of 12 years was fired from the job for faking a college degree from Boston University. The boss was Irish and worked 3 prior IT jobs and highly recommended. Most research shows that "bosses" are more likely to commit fraud than those they are managing. United States and Mexico leads the way for Credit Card fraud @ https://www.forbes.com/sites/halaht...-most-card-fraud-u-s-and-mexico/#6e8aa7564708 By the way, the United States has the largest number of Student Load Debt frauds via U.S. citizens moving abroad to exploit the Foreign Earned Income Tax Exclusion...earning high income in another country but are exempt from paying back their student loans in the U.S. education system... U.K., New Zealand and the EU are popular destinations for those U.S. citizens cheating their way out of paying back their student loans...legally. Most doing such are disproportionate white (women). In general, women are more likely to need student loans to go to college than men. Women have larger student loan debts than men. wrbtrader
