I concur with the above. However a small subset of discretionary traders do have some truly mechanical entry and exit rules. try linking your algos to social sentiments for extra filters.

Do you have an autotrade system running ?

Any good discretionary trader would keep his trade logs and from that able to deduce the system performance metrics.

Have you tried plotting the OHLC of the historical seat price and analyzing the price to price relationship ? Is there a long signal in there ;)

You know I think some specialized domain knowledge is crucial if your a software developer nowdays. As in pick an industry area you want to specialize like insurance, waste management, utility billing, etc etc. All the generic stuff and your directly competing with outsourced labour from India...

yeah, IBM mainframe legacy stuff ? Since you're already a programmer have you tried automating ?

Yeah, LOL. seeing the writing is on the wall on my day job plunged me into serious trading a year ago. first few months were total disasters then it went better. been a good ride so far. So what business do you do ?

I'm middle class, single, self made, worked my way through grad school and the corporate ladder. Started trading because I tought my job is becoming a dead end, and I don't really fit in well with my work group. Your a brit aren't you ? I went to liverpool once, saw scoursers literally...

Lol, kinda like clooney's ocean eleven huh ? hustling a casino I'd think i'll stick to the safety of trading from my leased server.

One of the sexy PR girls did invite me over to the VIP table, but the minimum buy in was 100k, so I politely declined.

I only won about 3 grand, but it seems my consistency spooked them enough to change dealers.

Thats when trade series analysis come into play. Calculate the worst possible scenario of consecutive banker wins percentage. Make sure your bet always start small so that you have enough capital to martingale up to twice the worst consecutive bankers win on previous history.
