There are many good threads in the hall of fame. It is too time-consuming to read all of them. Can the experienced elitetraders here recommend the thread which made the most positive influence to their trading prowess? Thank you very much. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/pages/hall-of-fame/
Which markets are you trading? Are you automated or manual? Do you have a few million? All these matter when you start.
I trade stocks and futures (mainly stock indices). I am a discretionary trader so far. Which thread made a strong impact on your trading performance?
Don't do much discretionary so I can't help you much. From my point of view, even if discretionary, it is best to learn systematic trading because it will help shape you to be a better trader. You will be more aware of the amount of rigor needed in your trading process.
Thankfully, I learned way before coming to this forum. But trading is about market knowledge and one thread is not going to cut it. You have to explore on your own of all the ways others view trading in their own ways. I prefer pre 2007 threads, and you do have to read the good bad and ugly, that's years to test it all. And I am all automation now, pure systemic as I already know by doing personal twenty year journal, am God awful at discretionary, but decent systems developer. I never liked actually doing manual trading but did so for thirty years, for me so boring to sit there waiting, and NOW have a sort of life of doing back testing but more study for risk management. My evolvement has changed from making new entry signals to how to hedge any entry. By far, risk management has been toughest challenge, so I am more prone to finding these types of articles. Good luck to your travels of playing the game.
