    True, but better than taking a loss every month. :)

    Heres mine, simple EOD system , applied to 6 stocks: QQQ, GLD, SLV, BHP, MSFT, NVO. Different parameters for each. Can be applied to other stocks also, of course.
    Not profitable every month, you would need to write options for this and than suffer -70% ...

    If I had a trading system that is highly consistent month after month, why would I sell it and dilute its effectivity? As most new traders are apt to, they want the short cuts to instant wealth. There is no such thing. A lot traders who are successful will tell you that, you have to expend a lot of effort being a good trader. Even the very best traders who are successful are still honing their craft because the stockmarket is evolving and changing every single day. If you are not willing to put a lot of effort in being a good stock trader, you might as well pack it in. You will not become a good trader or even make monies in the stockmarket. Only losses and disappointment await you. 90% of retail traders fail. Keep that in mind.

    just go to the casino and bet red or black and get it over with

    anything that requires more time than one day to be profitable is gambling

    It took me 8 years to find a strategy that actually makes sense that fits my personality best. I am currently using it on futures.

    Anyone with a successful strategy is either selling a service or trying to build youtube revenue. Nobody is willing to give it out for free.

    Green every month shouldn’t be a requirement
    What if you lose 1 month out of 100 ?
    Or even 1 month out of 12 …

    I’d be fine losing 50% in a month if I could make 1000% in 11 months. Would still be up 500%.

    Day trading (IMO) spends the least time underwater. I’d expect to have several down weeks in a year. Swing trading I’d expect to have several down months in a year.

    A simple Buy / Sell the open and Sell / Buy the close strategy would do the trick. Get some 60/40 probabilities for the day, according to precedents, within excel. Maybe get out at the previous High or Low (70/30). If the payoff is worth the probabilities then pull the trigger.

  8. Shorting Pumps is a quite good strategy to have every 3 of 4 months (75%) profitable. But if you want every month to be profitable, you need to lower your profit expectations and trade some arbitrage, for example, arb between etf on oil and oil stocks, some imbalances etc.. It's consistently profitable strategies, but the profits are quite low these days, because of low liquidity and volatility. Big sharks are still in t-bonds (because it's free money now).

    Make additional income free of risk. As long as it does not compromise ones own trading and it's low effort it's wise to grab the money.
