Haha. Same here.

Read, read, and read more. You may want to start with this list: https://www.stocktrader.com/investing-books/ Or this one: http://www.liberatedstocktrader.com/top-20-stock-market-books-review/ Then start forming your own ideas and theories, and test them. Then start trading. As motif stated...

Exactly. The OP posted 4 links, 3 of them broken. What was left of his posted content amounted to this, more or less: "The market triangulated on the tetrahedron inside the cube of the platonic solid. Market direction is unknown. All rights reserved." When asked to explain his novel approach...

I only trade futures, so it's just a single figure to report: total gain/loss. With stocks/etfs, it's a pain, because every sale has to be reported separately, and categorized as long/short term, wash sale, etc.

Write a short computer program to notify yourself of upcoming market holidays.

Fake news.

Edward Jones issues standard shoes to all brokers, who are obligated to wear them. These are easily identified by the footprints around your computer.

This is very confusing. From what you said so far, I've constructed the following story. You opened a trading account with Edward Jones. One of the brokers at Edward Jones was so impressed with your trading, that he asked his girlfriend (whose occupation was a prostitute) to seduce you and to...

Select a reputable broker.

Some traders of Christian persuasion believe that God, through his beloved son Jesus, controls the stock prices. Mechanically, this is accomplished by Jesus throwing dice in a special cup, observing the outcome, and by divine intervention, setting the stock prices with accordance to that...

Yes. This feature is sometimes called "strategy optimizer". It cycles through all possible permutations of strategy parameters (such as the EMA length), runs the backtest for each permutation, and sorts the results according to some strategy performance metric (such as Sharpe ratio, Profit...

Zero "gut feel" in my system, as it runs fully automated. No fear, greed, anxiety, regret, elation, stress, or self-sabotage, either.

Yes, to all of the above.

I have no idea what "make or break" means in terms of positioning. You can make money by being long, or by being short. My broker does not offer the "make or break" types of trades.

For the short trades, you have 4 trades total. One of them lost $725, and the other three together made $4206. How did you derive the Sharpe ratio of 9088 from that distribution?

When you say "judgement", you seem to be implying that it's something so "human" that it can't be coded. Sure, some people may have a "gut feel" (i.e. the intuition) that makes them successful traders, and that would indeed be very difficult to quantify. But setting that aside, much of what's...

There is nothing mysterious in the charts that you show. In these charts, I see trendlines through recent lows and highs. This is elementary to code and to automate. Far more complex price and behavioral patterns have been quantified, coded, and automated.

Yes, it can be automated. But you need to clearly define for yourself (or for someone who will automate it for you) what constitutes "2 emas", "trendlines", "support", and "resistance". I would also say that beyond quantifying these terms, there are many other considerations involved in...

So, based on this "triangulated tetrahedron", are you long or short?
