Very well written volpri and thoughtfully stated. In my opinion, trading is the best business in the world because you can trade demo first for $0.00 to see if you can make money. Spend money on quality trading education.

I agree here with TOC. It is common sense that an AI (or robot or machine learning, etec) does not program it self. This AI is built with a human brain and human eyes watching the same charts I am watching. Whoever built the AI have statical background as well, just like me. All in all, who...

Robian, Very good write up and well explained. I have been in demo trading for 1 year and 3 months. It cost me $0.00 and I have learned a great amount and lots of charts experience. But I trade with real emotions and set daily trading goals for myself. When I first started trading, I used real...

Palindrome, Can you please explain your definition of edge?

Hello, I lost about $8000

Scataphagos, you are right. This is what happen to me and two of my friends. I lost about $7000 in about 6 months trying to trade with no experience, and just trying random things I found on internet or just following some random trading chat room person following their trades. All kind of...

Hello ark93, People fail at trading, because people stop trading after losing a bunch of money trading. People fail at trading because they do not know how to trade to make consistent money and blow all the capital in the beginning stages. Its like a person with no doctor experience trying...

Baron, But isn't the weed growers selling their weed to customers legally? If an owner is growing their own weed, how can they not make alot of money? I would think the weed stock to invest in is the weed seller that do everything in house.

Thank you qlai, Well said and that is the point I was mentioning above.

Yes I agree. We don't want to discourage the OP from automating, just it may not be that part of the journey just yet. The OP can automate trading, but he/she is probably not ready for that part of the trading journey just yet. Sort of like an Electrical Engineer degree, an engineer does not...

Thanks gaussian and no problem. There is nothing to get defensive about in a open forum. Only an idiot/fool does not take time to understand someone else viewpoint and only accept their own way of thinking when it comes to trading to make money. Debating is good.

Hello gaussian, I appreciate you challenging my post above. It makes for a healthy conflict and debate. As we both know each trader journey is different. I was simply stating to the OP try trading manually first to get actually trading experience, before trying to automate something. Your...

Hello curiousv, In my opinion, don't waste your time learning automating trading. Why I say this? Because you currently have no trading ideas/plans/strategies to program and back test, because you have no day trading experiencing watching the charts. Manual trade for now to learn the...

Hello Curiousv, If I was starting over as a day trader, I would say start a new thread with the subject "How to Learn Day Trade". I would say this: 1. Find a good day trading mentor or day trading video course(s). Spend about 1-3 months researching good trading video courses or a good...
