Handle123, Thanks for your comments. Thanks

Thanks InvBox, This is nice to know it can be done. What i was more interesting in is volume profile confluence zones. Meaning those volume profile prices that occur repeatly over a weekly, or monthly time frame. They will make for good support and resistance areas. Thanks,

Thanks profitlocker, Can I please have an example of this setup you mention please? An example trade with chart would be great. I would appreciate it. Thanks

Mtrader, Good logical comment. The difference is the trader paid for something he/she personally developed, and have the logic/code for the system. Even if the system they developed did not produce money, it did produce experience and know-how. It's the learning curve that Handle123 is...

Thank you Handle123 for your experience and input. I appreciate your response. Although I don't have the trading experience, but everything you said makes logical sense. I agree, it only makes sense to build your own system, especially if the code is not provided with the system a trader is...

Thanks Steve, i am currently reviewing NinjaTrader or Tradestation as my platform for programming. NinjaTrader is free to trial, repeatly.

Hello, I just trade the charts, price and lines that I draw. No fundamentals at all for me because I trade day to day and not doing economic data release times.

Thank you Guzman Katherine, Since I initially posted, i still struggle with this a bit since I past posted. For now, risk vs reward of 1:1 per trade and Not take every system trade as my account is still small ($4000 to $5000). I tried taking every trade the system offered and felt I was...

Hello, Yes, the CL had great short today. Tested my patience, but I held in there. You and I love these trendlines. They are powerful and I enjoy drawing them. AND i stay away from them too.

victorycountry, Thanks for your comment. I respect your comments, but I will stay on the naive trading until proven otherwise. The goal of trading is to make money as easy as possible. Whatever the market makers do, let them do it, none of my business. I rather keep things very simple and trade...

w4rn1ng, Seriously, i don't understand why the poll is not 100% buy a system. Why figure it out yourself when someone can teach you or just use their system? I pay $3000 for a system tommorow if it's meet my criteria. That's just me. That being said, I am working on testing my own trading ideas.

Hello, I don't want to sound like the odd ball, but for some reason I really don't see the issue with buying an indicator or system that has proven to work. This is better then spending countless hours figuring out something to make (and losing money and time away from family, etc) money when...

Thanks for your insight and response. Will this apply to someone like me who trades 2-3 contracts?

Very interesting post and that make sense. How can an alog sniff out my mechanical trading system that I may have bought from a vendor?

I agree. I would pay for a system if it makes money and I learn from it to enhance my learning. You are paying for the system data collection.

Hello, I would pay up to $200 per month for a profitable system or indicator. They have to provide the code though.

Thank you for your response.

MattZ Thank you so much for the advice and link. I do keep a journal of trades and picture of each trade. This really helps. I believe I am on the right track

MattZ, This comments will save me alot of time trying to figure out how to program and backtest Volume Profile. I currently discretion trade it. Thank you for comment.

Thanks MattZ, This is where I am now. I have about 2 years of real time screen trading the charts. Just really trading what I see from price action and some trendlines and resistance and support. I lost money too, but money well lost to teach me. I often wonder how to traders come up with...
