Is it possible to make consistent profits from trading

There are as many nuanced methods of trading as there are traders. There is no right or wrong way to trade. There is only a profit-making trade or a loss-making trade.

 

All it takes is an edge and rigidly applied uniform position management rules.

 

Traders should forget about the mythical edge and just trade correctly.

 

Of course, trading correctly might be the 'edge' hahaha

 

From my experience, most aspiring traders have an unrealistic expectation or misplaced notion of what an actionable "edge" is to begin with.

I'm not a mind reader or predictor-i laughed when IBD founder noted most new traders/investor want to much with to little work. Laughed ,because i managed a business most of my life; funny part about that= found out he is he is right.[Edit change to traders+ investors,plural........... want to much with to little work]

 

Isn't it nice to have you cake and eat it too.

 

I like meat also+ PT Jones mentioned fine art. I like redneck art like a red Coka -Cola can with 3 polar bears + redneck art like green yahoo Mountain Dew can

 

you'd need to come up with some idea about stock markets or a stock, then collect data to validate the idea.... do you know why people keep saying trading is hard work.
basically, it would come down to "I think, therefore I trade" + one's psychological makeup and personality.
