    I have read "Trading in the Zone" but still struggling with psychology

    I recommend you get a coach. The best trader coach I know is Andrea Wylan. Google her.

    Trading Profits

    With those statistics, you are on your way to becoming a successful trader. It may take a while longer, and there is obviously a lot of work to do, but I encourage you to hang in there. I traded 14 years before I had a profitable year. Haven't had a losing year since. (That was 1984.)

    A sucker born every minute

    Reminds me of me. I have posted several trading videos on Youtube about my strategies. Nothing for sale. No mention of "Don't forget to subscribe." Just sharing stuff I have learned in 40+ years of trading. I play piano. Often I hear people say, "I want to learn to play." I don't think they...

    Is there trading software that can identify and analyze similar trading days?

    TradeStation can do this. I do it a lot, and it's useful. For example, if you buy certain ETFs the last 2-3 days of the month and sell after a couple of days into the new month, it'll make about 6% per year on average. The trouble is...it doesn't do this 100% of the time. Over a year, it'll...

    Excellent post. Thanks.

    How to deflect friends interest in your money/trading

    Not a problem for me, as I tweet all my trades BEFORE I make them. Anyone is free to follow me @RandomFour. Currently, my annual profit rate is about 60%.

    Almost everyone is lying. Because there's no such...

    I have written over 200 trading strategy programs over the past 15 years. All of them have been profitable at certain times in certain markets. A few of them are still profitable. The trick is to choose which system to use and when. For example, I have been trading one of my systems since...

    My advice is: abandon this project.

    Larry Williams still in the ring...

    I write and trade my own systems. Currently, I have a 30% profit since November, 2018, and a 3.25% draw down during that time. That is an annualized return of 60%, with a draw down of 7%. All commissions and fees are included. I tweet all my trades the day BEFORE I make them. See @RandomFour

    Any experience hiring office space as a lone trader? Worth it?

    I think it depends on your personality. Some people need social interaction; some don't.

    Zero-sum game.

    The flaw in your argument is that you assume everyone wants the same thing (to make money). When you buy bread at the grocery store, you lose money and gain bread. The store gains money and loses bread. You wanted the bread more than the money, so you won. The store wanted the money more than...

    Grail Trading Formula

    Plot the 3-day simple moving average. When it is sloping up, buy; when it slopes down, sell. No stops, no shorting. Trade TQQQ, SPXL, UWM, and UDOW. This strategy does not work on everything, but it works on these. You're welcome.

    I'm out

    I traded for 14 years before I had a profitable year/year result. I've made money every year since then, and made a living for almost 20 years. Much of what I have seen on Youtube and elsewhere does not work for me, but some of it does. The trick is finding out what works for you. I think it's a...

    Demoralized. Is 14 losses in a row normal?

    All strategies work until they don't. Yours seems to have stopped working. 14 losing trades in a row is too many. It's time to use a different strategy. Sorry, that's how it works.

    Does a disciplined trader smoke weed (?)

    If you smoke weed once a week, you are a pothead. You are highly unlikely to make money trading stocks in that condition. If you want to make money, I suggest you trade pot instead.

    My Trading Holy Grail

    What a coincidence! I discovered the Holy Grail last year, too. Here are all my trades since November 1, 2018. I also tweet all trades BEFORE I make them. @RandomFour I made a few videos and posted them on Youtube.

    In one sentence, what is your edge for 2019?

    Long only the four triple ETFs. TQQQ, SPXL, TNA, and UDOW.
