Nobody is attacking you, but you are giving us theoretical promises which most likely will not translate into reality. Are you examining a single book or are you building a consolidated one? Which exchange (s) are trading on?

You know, my question is ... After the government/fed made it clear they will not tolerate instability, what will it take for people to see a crash for anything other than a buy the dip opportunity? We have a generation of investors now who EXPECT markets to have the perpetual put in place to...

Seriously!? I agree with everything you said, but realistically ...

The answer is in the first statement of your question! Lol.

Good to hear. I guess I got thrown off by the lyrics in the middle of a strategy post :)

Welcome to the labyrinth!

Hm. Whatever do you mean? Do you mean your machine learning majic box spits out hundreds of highly over optimized strategies per day? I don't mean to be disrespectful, but how does one get the courage to put meaningful money on the line without understanding risks involved? @ES, is this a...

I'm curious why you can't apply your strategy to equities. The market is fragmented and hft infrastructure more available. When I looked at trading Bitcoin, as a retailer, the fees were 2% of notional value and avg sizes were very very small (like .00001 btc or something). Some exchanges...

Sure sounds like it. I kind of got an impression that instead of trying to trade off the floor, like many had to do, he just found a new floor in Australia and became the big dog there.

Teddy is saying that no matter what your diploma on the wall says, you are not a surgeon until you had a situation where you had to face a difficult case not spelled out in the manual. So I was wandering ... You are not a real trader until you ... (fill in the blank). Maybe you have to...

Well, there are two camps - one says trading is 95% psychology and 5% strategy, and the other is the reverse of that. If you are in the second camp, you should ignore this section I guess. If you are in the first camp ... trading, sports, poetry (@qxr), religion/spirituality, life all merge...

It actually has two parts :) This is under psychology section ... we charge by the hour.

Example of a guy making the leap the "right" way. https://claytrader.com/podcast/episode185/

Agreed, but not very helpful. The book is a must read.

Then I'm confused by the "not for the weak hearts" comment.

I doubt if you post your complete system, anyone will be able to trade it, let alone remove your edge. I don't think people come to ET to rob half baked ideas. I think the noob comes for guidance from people who walked the path. I agree, but how do you start is the question! What is the...

Is it because you are willing to let it go against you a significant amount prior to putting on sufficient hedging?

How do you deal with a large adverse move? Do you just let them expire? If so, do you position size the 20% with that in mind? What do you do with the rest 80%? Hope it's not too much prying.

Still searching ... Well that's the problem for the retail guy isn't it! You are left at the mercy of online educators. FWIW, I think the process is to identify the type of trading which fits your personality (not that easy as you need to understand yourself well). Once identified, find...
