I'm not quite sure what is the purpose of your posts. Having said that, I do believe you are reading the markets you present reasonably well. However, "reading the market" is quite a distinct endeavor from "trading" and that in turn quite distinct from "making money from trading". I hope you...

This is the prospectus. It's easily downloaded from their site.

I am interested in talking to people who have completed the Oxford Algorithmic Trading Program. Please get in touch. Thank you.

This will largely depend on the stats of your edge. My observation over 20+ years is that strategies "fading" (mean reversion) a move usually "add to losers" and strategies following a move (trend following etc) usually "add to winners". This is a gross oversimplification of course. Ultimately...

there is no answer to your question. you seem to be "obsessed" with "best of this" and "best of that". unfortuantely there is no such thing in the markets. some things work for some people and some things work for other people. keeping an open mind and remaining flexible are a couple of traits...

Working alone is one of the things a trader has to deal with. Meditation and exercise as well as having other interests helps. After checking some of the science, I also got a cat which was an amazing experience. Sadly he died of old age. Cats have a very calming and soothing effect on a human's...

These are the inputs you need: Big point value = e.g for ES $50 % equity at risk - what % of your equity you want to risk; let's say 1% ($1,000) i.e. you're trading a 100k account your entry point - stop point = let's say this is 10 ES points (entry 3300, stop 3290) your $ volatility for 1...

It all depends on the performance statistics of your methodology, the size of your account and the % equity you want to risk. Knowing nothing about the above, it's impossible for me to discern whether 12 points is too much, too little or just about right.

Thanks to my methodology, for me recognizing a trend (or lack thereof) is only possible in REAL TIME (and of course ex-post). On the other hand, knowing if a market is at a "top" or bottom" is only possible after the fact. Take a look a here for information that you may find helpful...

"how often you stare at the screen" means that if you trade the daily chart, you really only need to look at the screen once a day (the closing price), the weekly once a week etc...... but before you start trading you need a process in place that makes sense to you and clearly identifies...

i don't understand the question. stop and limit setting has nothing to do with choice of timeframe. these are determined by your broker/platform.

There is no such thing as "best timeframe". TA is fractal. You can start with daily and weekly charts. Ultimately your choice of timeframe will be predicated on what sort of trader you become (day, swing....etc) and how often do you want to be staring at a screen. There is a lot of work ahead...

Steve Nison is one of the "authorities" on the subject in the western world - plenty of books by him available on Amazon. Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques: A Contemporary Guide to the Ancient Investment Techniques of the Far East Hardcover – Illustrated, 1 Nov. 2001 is a good start...

In my experience, the vast majority of "courses" on trading are actually "courses" on reading the market or some market "reading" methodology / indicator. Unfortunately, trading is only about 10-20% about methodology (reading the market). In general I'm inclined to say: 1. if you don't have an...
