That sounds like a full-time job. I already have one of those.

So then what is there to go on?

Not necessarily. I go on home repair forums all the time and just ask questions. You could learn that fundamentals is what moves markets in the long-term. Not technical analysis. But you probably knew that already.

Ok well after reading around here and other places, I've seen it's unreasonable to expect anything higher than 20% annually. That was George Soros' average rate of return. So then it is better for me to keep what I'm doing with my main job. But there's still a place that trading can fit in my...

Actually I have something that takes up the majority of my time. Isn't it the point of the forum to share information? Lazy? No I've actually educated myself on the topic for years. Still not convinced there's any clear strategy that's significantly better than guessing. I'm not willing or...

What way where? I'm looking for a system based on mathematics to tell me if it's more likely a good time to buy or sell. Something like this...

What are your results?

That may be what I end up doing, but I don't want to miss out on an opportunity if trading can be possible. Especially if it's as easy as looking at some indicators to give me a buy or sell signal.

I'm gonna wait and see if gold goes back up. I sold the rest.

So what's a good combination of indicators? What's your personal favorites?

I have lost a lot of money since September with 3x leveraged funds.

I haven't started doing any of this.

I made a TradeStation account based on @Steve Alexander 's advice. It doesn't allow me to buy index/sector funds. It's just for futures and futures options. I thought he suggested that because of the analytical tools that it allows you to have. Did I miss something?
