    Yes, another one

    Good luck to you. Perhaps you already know this: Your chances of keeping your money, much less making any is very small. Still, good luck.

    the reason indicators don't work isn't because they're lagging

    Even if you had a dozen different nail clippers, none of them would be very good at sawing lumber. Almost all indicators work at the task they were designed for, which is not to predict stock prices; however, people persist in trying to use indicators to predict stock prices.

    Obsession with trading and the markets. Does it get better or only worse?

    I traded 14 years before I made a year-over-year profit. Since then, I have made a profit every year. Last year, I made 147% profit. I have been trading 51 years. I tweet all my trades BEFORE I make them. @RandomFour

    Out of curiosity: anyone here consistently predicts market direction?

    In 2019 - 2020, I made 147% swing trading ETFs. I tweeted every trade BEFORE I did it, and I documented every trade in a spreadsheet. In June, 2020, I started another run, again tweeting every trade BEFORE I do it. So far, I'm up 36% since June, 2020. @RandomFour

    So I got this email from a "wealth advisory firm"...

    I know I know exactly what they are talking about. Read the fine print, and please don't give them any money.

    2 weeks in a gutter

    I've been trading since 1969, and profitable since 1984. I have sympathy for you if you are trying to learn this craft. There's plenty of information and material available, and most of it doesn't work. Those who know how to trade, usually have little interest in teaching.

    Randomness And Trading

    I don't care if the market is random or not. I care if I can money reliably in the market. Last year, I made 147% profit, year-over-year. This year, I have made 36% in the past 2 months.

    free backtesting

    I can save you some time. MA crossovers don't work for any meaningful period of time (6 months or longer). I have tried them all.

    Am I Wasting My Time?

    I traded 15 years before I made a profit year-over-year. Since that first profitable year, I have made a profit every year. Last year, I made 138% ROI. Good luck, but don't expect it quickly.

    Backtesting is useless

    Back testing tells you what would have happened if you has done so-and-so. It does not predict what will happen if you do such-and such. :)

    Does anyone else Test your trading ideas with Small size?

    A few people have tested my systems. When they follow the system, they get about the same results I do, but few people are able to stick with a rule-based system.

    Did anyone make a lot of money this year? This trader said he made over a million from 50k...

    Between 6/6/19 and 6/1/20, I made about 140% ROI. I tweeted every trade BEFORE I did it. See @RandomFour. I am continuing to tweet trades, but I am not guaranteeing that I will go for another year. I'm getting old. :) I don't sell courses or software. I don't write books, newsletters, etc.

    I've paid over $60,000 in commission the last few weeks and im done

    Thanks for posting. I for one, am glad you are trading big and often. Sorry, I can't answer your questions about a private broker, as I'm just an ordinary trader struggling to eke out a few dollars here and there. I'm the guy on the other side of some of your trades. Last year, I made 120% ROI...
