    Are my ambitions too much?

    Silver - Thanks for the feedback. That 180 days of data you are talking about is EXACTLY what I would like to look at. Where do I get it and what software do I use to analyze and create "bots" as you call them? Thanks.

    I appreciate your insights (very fatherly!) I trust you mean well. What exactly do you mean - work on myself? How the heck do I do that? And if my several "timing" indicators are not enough or the wrong game to play in today's market - what are the right ones? Thanks again!

    HEY HEY! I feel the love! Thanks for responding. To answer your question - I believe that I did mention the time frame. That return came over a 10 day period. (10 Trading Days.) However - the likelyhood that this is EXACT will be determined by REAL LIVE trading experience. (Hence one of...

    Are my ambitions too much?

    I've noticed that several people have read my post - but alas - no replies. Perhaps they were newer people and couldn't answer my questions. Perhaps they were seasoned people and didn't want to waste time with my rambling. OR MAYBE... I've posted this in the wrong location. Any...
