Thanks for the responses, I will continue to work through Machine Learning for Algorithmic Trading by Stefan Jansen to uncover more insights.

I'm working through a book on ML trading and there's a concept I don't understand. What does optimal training data for an ML trading model look like? Would it consist of just OHLCV values? Wouldn't you have to train the model on data that shows profit, since that is the ultimate goal of...

Not at the moment. I used to use Drakdoo when I was using specific systems. I am making more discretionary decisions now so I don't have specific things to look for when I am screening. However I am willing to explore screeners if you think they would help, do you have any suggestions?

I thought so! However, a. I watch other traders stream and no one else seems to focus on non-correlated pairs. Why is that? b. If it were important to only trade 5 pairs, why do other pairs exist, and why do other people trade them?

It seems that you have it figured out then! Trade based on non-correlation! For instance, EUR/USD, CAD/CHF, GBP/NZD, EUR/GBP and AUD/JPY aren't correlated to each other, just trade those!

I've heard this as well, but why? According to mataf.net all major pairs are correlated to each other by at least -50/50, doesn't this mean that following all major pairs is a waste of time, and that its better to follow 1 or 2?

I want to know how professional forex traders choose which pairs to trade. Right now I'm following all majors, major crosses, metals, and indices offered by my firm. That's 36 instruments. It feels like too much. I need a proven methodology backed by evidence for shortening this list. I...

nice thanks

I hadn't considered using a project management tool. I will look into it, thanks.

I will say this: I should have written the introduction to this thread so that it resembled the thoughts of an even-tempered, rational person. The way I wrote it did not convey this, and I take responsibility for that. I think that's part of the reason why I received the backlash I did.

I have used the following products: AWS, Microsoft Azure, Digital Ocean, and Google Cloud Platform. I also have a certification in AWS architecture from Udacity. Here are my thoughts on all of these services: AWS - AWS is the market share leader according to...
