These are option spreads with a fixed end date and are hedged.

I don't have time to watch charts during the day.

The risk will at least be hedged. And I haven't decided what timeframe the options will be so I'm not sure how many trades I could enter in one year. All I know is that index funds will go up over time. That's about the only constant in all of markets. As you can see, they don't go up every...

That's why I'm thinking of betting bull on index funds. They will always go up long-term. I want to make the same trade repeatedly. And you say "go with the market," but you need a timeframe to judge trend on. You can't take the slope of a point. Too short or too long of a timeframe makes...

Without indicators, I wouldn't feel like I'm doing anything other than guessing 50/50. I suppose I could just Google for one instead of asking here.

He just said another strategy using options and hedging. That's not very different from what I originally posted. Except I'm 99% sure I'm committed to bull put spreads on index fund options.

60-80% of what move? I'm more interested now in finding one thing, or maybe a handful of things, that I can trade regularly. Most likely index fund options.

If you place a trade every day that will either make or lose $5000, and you do this every trading day for one year. If you win 70% of the time, you would have made over $500,000 that year.

Except that nobody can predict the future. So it's more about admitting that there is a HUGE gambling aspect to this, and HEDGING RISK. No matter how good you think your indicator combos are, or how much you think you know about fundamentals and economic data... Nobody can predict.

Responding to you is not worth my energy.

That is not significantly different from anything I said in my original post. Except that I won't profit from time decay.

Ok to clarify. I meant "get stated" in paper trading while actually logging my results and paying close attention. I expect to continue paper trading only for 12 months at least. I have made hundreds of paper trades. Some I "made" a lot of fake money, other I lost a lot of fake money. None of...

Ok. Can we stay on topic? Do you have a combination of indicators to suggest?

Why? Btw, this site is about trading, not investing.

I'm in the process of synching my IG Forex platform with MetaTrader4 platform which gives me all the indicators I will need to start back testing. Also, I want to consider options trading also. I want to bet on index funds (maybe sector funds) and I want to ALWAYS BET BULL. But instead of...

Do you use vertical spreads?

Care to share what technical indicators you use? I won't ask you to share the custom stuff if you don't want. I'm looking to start back testing soon.

Explain.

I keep seeing in YouTube videos that this feature is included with the indicators, but I don't see it. Is this possible to do?

This is a daily chart of the past month. The lowest is 1.09812, the highest is 1.12001. So that's a range of 0.02189. Is that how you look at it? And once you have the number for the range, what does that tell you? Does that tell you what to expect for volatility for the upcoming month?
