When I read latest posts here than you also have to decide whether you want to be systematic trader with known rules or discretionary trader. Huge difference.
Study the "A place for everything and everything in it's place" methodology. You can do this via a direct experience of observing market generated information. Every FA and TA concept and more has it's own cubby. Cubby's can be organized like-to-like. Some cubbie contents are duplicates, some cubbies can be combined and merged. Some cubbies are so packed they need to be expanded into more cubbies. Some cubbies have no backend and are rabbit holes into other realities. All the cubbies have relationships with each other. Some relationships are interchangeable. Some relationships are hierarchical. Some relationships are dependent on other cubbies, some are independent. A hand-written log comparing and contrasting bar-by-bar movements of anything you are studying show relationships. A price chart can be distilled into 10 cases of two bar price patterns that repeat and 11 volume elements that repeat. One can notice in the course of a trading day where there are injections of liquidity by filtering on the largest set of volume spikes. Cross reference this with swing points in market structure. The counterpoint is knowing where there is a lack of liquidity and what are the signs of a market imbalance. You can put on different "glasses" by which to view cubbies. If visual discretionary trading is your style, then Volume Profile and Footprint charts will add more cubbies and show your existing cubbies and their relationships in a different way. When you come across new trading information find where is fits into your cubbie universe and add a cubbie if it requires it. Market generated information distills into (OHLC + Volume + Time) * Perception. How you interpret these seven datapoints is dependent upon your existing Beliefs. Beliefs are based upon values and they form your perceptions. Your perceptions will change your interpretations of OHLCVT. Some beliefs will have you only look at OHLC, others will place different emphasis of premium or discount on V and T. Paradox and confusion are the guardians of the gate. You, as a trader, are building in a word - confidence. This is a fundamental quality to cultivate to travel the path of uncertainty.

%% TRY to go see the movie\ ''The Sting'' since you like bit cons; + try to get a banker relative to pay for it, even though it was only a couple of bucks in 1973 [2] Dont pay much attention to elephant dust; but like IBD founder father noted ''when an elephant gets in a bath tub, so to speak, you can always tell ''[LOL liquidity level] [200] 200 day moving average is only for real markets ; so only 50 days of data will not work for that ..... [777]IF you fail for 6.66 years that's much worse than average; so skip the bit cons+ study fundamentals.[ Dont forget to declare you bit con losses on tax returns, terrible risk reward for that failure.] Hope this helps; it helps me.
Do you have estimates on what a frequent enough setup should look like? If trading full-time, on the daily timeframe, how many trades do you usually execute on a daily/weekly/monthly basis?
