Self driven car algorithms are much better at consistency in terms of visualizing and mapping out the environment, reacting to it and its changes than a human being. They are not fatigued or under the influence of substances or distracted by music or talk or thoughts. They are not flawless and may never be but they are already today way better than most every human at driving. So are manufacturing robots. So are automated payment transfer systems. So are automated mail sorting machines and the algorithms behind them that today every postal system in the world uses. Fully 100% automated mail sorting and forwarding. Not the future, but already yesterday. Pal, what are you actually trying to pull off here? You are all over the map. Maybe focus on one point and try to back up your conjectures?
Note : This thread is not for perfectionists. My simple question is always "Do you know how to make money ?" Probably more than 95% of the stock traders are common people who are simply trying their luck in stock market with their existing skills. These people generally resist to learn new skills. Stock trading is a very high voltage business. Surviving in Stock trading needs high levels of focus and stillness of mind. Making money is impossible without genuine insights which comes only from a still and focused mind, not from wavering minds which we find everywhere including many in this forum. Business is an expanded consciousness, which means eagle's eye view, where the big picture generates genuine insights and gives right direction while the quality of decision making is transformed. Obsessed analytical butts don't know to focus and hence won't value insights. Fit only for a 9 to 6 routine job. Analysis is based on what you already know. If we don't know how to make money then it means no amount of our analysis is going to be useful. Actual learning comes from going beyond the fixed known things. Obsessed analysis paralyses the creativity, making the mind to work like a machine, suppressing once own intuition and trying to oppress others too. These are the so called shameless perfectionists. Making money is a kind of meditation ! You EITHER know how to make money OR you simply don't. CAUTION : Ignorance will be exposed easily here in this thread. So think twice before posting anything here. This caution is specifically for perfectionists. IMPORTANT : He who long to learn will dare to expose his ignorance, because we can learn only by making mistakes.
Trying to connect to like minded people and thus refreshing the connection to myself. Simple. This thread can help me. (Of course finding lions in a forest is not as easy as finding monkeys.)
And simple answer is :yes and I have done so for over 17 years, 11 of which at banks and hedge funds and 6 independently. But why is this your business and why would you care whether someone else makes money? You rather sound like some dude who needs to establish some sort of net presence to tout training courses or whatever you have to sell. We all know how consistently generating alpha in this industry is very difficult. I just summarized your whole bla in one sentence.
Exactly, that's also beyond me. You would think that someone with 500+ posts would be able to understand how those boards work. Apparently not so.
That's not what your thread title suggests. First you entitle the thread as a strategy specific one. Then you make some unproven BS claims and suddenly switch to how hard trading is. Now the thread purpose is to connect with others. I may come across as being overly harsh and way to invested (which I am not) but you gotta get your shit together. Nobody here gets your point.
Dream, Intuition, Insights, Creativity and Perspiration are the qualifications of a lion. (In other words unbelievable COURAGE to lean from mistakes)
A simple logic is that more the risk in a business more we expect returns. Stock trading is one of the MOST risky business in the world. Anything less than 20% ROI (per month, yes I mean it) is not proportionate to the level of risk involved in stock trading and cannot be called as a profession, yet can be a hobby. But continuing this hobby for more than a few years makes them believe that this is what it is and they start preaching the same to others. This includes the highly knowledgeable and experienced trading consultants. I am not into hobby. I am a professional trader. People with fixed minds get offended by my UNFIXED posts. I generally don't respond to fixed minds. Real money making is not for fixed minds. Since majority of the people in any forum are fixed minds, I may sometimes seem to be the ODD and illogical person.
