Anything you find "online" is in the public domain, and is therefore not "insider information." Trade on, McDuff!

Win/loss ratio does not determine your profitability. You can make a profit with a win/loss ratio of 20%. The figure you want is expectancy. Google it.

Your trading profit won't depend on the numbers; it'll depend on your mindset (your psychology).

I can teach you. I charge $100 per hour. My first advice (free) is - trade something other than ES. You can make money with ES, but there are better vehicles.

TradeStation. That's all you need to know.

Strangely enough, you can make money doing the opposite of all these "4 things" lists. I wouldn't have said that 10 years ago. I've been trading 47 years.

There is a HUGE pitfall waiting for you if you stick to the General Partnership setup. In a GP every member is liable for the actions of every other member. If anyone in the partnership has an auto accident, or harms someone, every other member is liable. You could lose EVERYBODY's money from a...

I suggest you take a beginning college course in SQL, Java, Perl, Basic, C#, C++, Python, PHP, or any other popular computer language. Not everyone has the brain cells to become a programmer. If your IQ is less than about 120, you are unlikely to succeed. Sorry, but that's how it is.

I have been trading since 1969, I have read hundreds of books about trading. I have over 200 trading-related books in digital form. I could make a list, order them by difficulty, and send it to you. I reckon that would take, ohhh a week or so. I imagine there are others here who could do the...

There is a great deal of info on the web about health, diet, etc. Here's my two cents. Dr. Greger authors www.nutritionfacts.org . He reads every scientific medical study published in English and summarizes them in 5-minute videos. I have seen several hundred such videos. To qualify to be on his...

You can neither automate nor back test a "system" unless you can define it objectively. In your description, you use words like "arbitrary," "judgment," and "sizing is by feel." An algorithm doesn't have feelings; it can't make arbitrary trades; and it has no judgment. You must be able to define...

Yeah, what he said. Good luck to you; you'll need it.

I can do that for you in TradeStation Easy Language. I probably already have something similar, as I have over 200 auto trading strategies I have written over the years.

You're on the right track - open minded, willing worker, realistic. With a good mentor, you have a chance.

I have written over 200 automated strategies using TradeStation's Easy Language. All of them worked in some market at some time in the past. Some have made a fair bit of money. The markets keep changing, so a strategy that worked for the past 6 months, may suddenly stop working. That's life.

I use TradeStation Easy Language and MQL4/MT4. Easy Language is easier to learn. MQL4 is more precise. ThinkScript isn't in the running. Good luck.

Yes, I'm a bit jealous of your youth and exuberance, but not your trading skill. My youth went long ago, but my skill remains. I only make 20-30% per year, but I've been enjoying that since 1984. Before that, I had your youthful enthusiasm, but alas, no profit.

TradeStation.

Plan to spend at least as long as getting a PhD in physics. If you're willing to do that, go for it.
