I will add also honest. :)

Generate random data. It's almost the same and free.

Rarely a losing trade is the definition of hindsight, fraud or supernatural ability.

I usually hold positions no more than 8-10 days. I have found out that for my trading style this is the best time interval. I no longer day trade because of HFT.

Follow the free posts of this guy. He uses a lot of TA but in a fresh way, no chart patterns but many novel indicators and makes use of probability. It will cost you no more than your time and you will learn a lot.

Trade with a sim account or a small real account and write your own book. It is very hard to learn from other people because in addition to patterns there are other conditions that cannot be described in books. I believe trading cannot be taught it is only learned by making mistakes.

Lot of good stuff in this forum if you can ask the proper questions in the proper way.

You can't avoid sideways action and if you try you may and probably will make costly mistakes. Just wait for a trend to start and either ride the market or get stopped. I think you are impatient and this is not how to start learning how to trade. This is a very speculative stock you have chose...

Run before they are out of neurons:) NN is a method of curve-fitting. If you like to trade a curve-fitted algo then you use NN. Simple.

My recommendation is to stick to 2% rule or less unless you are looking to get burned real bad.

This one looks interesting but I think it is priced too high for an excel add-on. It also seems to have a number of useless bells and whistles. But looks mostly easier to use than the others.

IMO if you want to trade you must accept that Windows is dominant. Besides, I recently used a Mac PC for a few months and I see no advantage whatsoever in using it. As a matter of fact I find its UI complicated and Windows is much easier to use AFAIK. More importantly, Apple will render your OS...

"... is more strange is that when I test it on 2008 to 2009/2010, still only these 10 orders have been traded, what is wrong?" Maybe the drawdown is big enough for trading to stop?

Does anyone know of a software to keep a log a stock trades that will generate useful statistics, like drawdown, Sharpe, pf, etc. but also allow consolidation based on symbols and separate statistics for each symbol?

Universities abandoned Keynesian economics for dubious neo-Keynesian supply side stuff that created this mess.

Expectancy can be negative because if R < (1-w)/w. See above. I'm sure you wanted to say something else.

You are correct. Check out this as I am lazy to right down the equations in detail but basically Expectancy = wR - (1-w) where w is the win rate and R is the average win to average loss ratio. So it can be negative if wR < 1-w or R < (1-w)/w This is first grade stuff :)
