I started paying attn to the NASDAQ back in Spring 2013. So it's been about 10 years -- average time for anyone to finally get it! If you read Al Brooks, he claims he quit the medical profession to start trading and it too took him 1 decade to finally get it. IMO, this the joke of God, you have to put in the required time to find success, there is no short cut! Anyways, here is the Holy Grail: "Know your enemy (stock market) but NOT yourself (the tools you use to tap into the stock market) wallow in defeat every time. Know your enemy and know yourself, 100 battles 100 victories". In the above context, defeat doesn't necessarily mean taking a loss, BUT more like missing out on a good/legit trade, which makes up 99% of my "failure"/"defeat" rate. Failure to make money is just as BAD as taking a loss. Just think of it as lost opportunity cost in place of real capital loss. Anyways, it's too damn easy to know your enemy the stock market. All you gotta do is observe it for three years straight and I can guarantee you WILL figure out its every nook and cranny. What took me 10 years is the refining the tools I use to read the stock market. Anyone want the short cut save a few years just keep that in mind. And also this don't waste your time on Fibonacci ratio! 1.61803399 can you believe it? Who wants to work with such an ugly floating number? I had a Greek neighbor, you know what she said when some solicitor knocked on her door? "I'm not Italian!" I will always keep that in mind when I think of stocks. On my end, I could have saved plenty years knowing Leonardo Bonacci doesn't work... he lied to me!
Stfu with your bs. Even the 20 seconds reading and 30 seconds posting this response is an aggravating time wasted.
Just look in the mirror. Standing in front of you is your enemy and nemesis. He has beaten you 100 times out of 100. Care to try for 101? There, I saved you 20 years of your life. And you are welcome.
BTW, guys if any1 were to ask me why it took ten years... I can see now looking back y it MUST take so long! The answer is... Go watch Three Body drama on YT (same author as Wandering Earth). There is no solution to The Three Body problem becoz a small tiny little perturbation leads to drastic results. It took ten years for me to learn how to hit a bullet with another bullet. The stock market seems simple but it really requires that kind of complexity (bullet hit by bullet) taking 1 decade to solve. Thus concludes my long arduous journey. I no longer need to spend hours at night "back-testing". I am in the light at the end of the tunnel...!! I LoL anyone still struggling on this forum... I used to be like them! AND also don't listen to the naysayers. The naysayers say you cannot build a city in the middle of nowhere in the ocean. China says you CAN, just dredge some sands to make an artificial island. The naysayers say you cannot build a 4-lane highway in the middle of the desert with constant sandstorms and all. China says you CAN and has built them. The naysayers say there is no Holy GRAIL. I say, I used simple science and math to solve the problem of the millennium... How to profit with 100% accuracy and precision from swing trading!
