Almost everyone is lying. Because there's no such...

The lady of the house exasperated with her maid working REALLY slow asked the maid “do you do anything fast?” The maid answered.."’yes I get tired REALLY FAST”.

Sir... devoting 2 years to trading is nothing. A body cannot learn and put into practice the most rudimentary aspects of trading in two years. A person cannot even get a good enough grasp of trading knowledge, much less put it into practice, within two years. There are simply too many strategies and tactics to learn, and it takes time to find what works for you as a trader.

You sir have gotten tired REALLY fast...

Being a coder and scientist has probably “slowed” you down not speeded up the process. Trading is all about learning to survive and develop strategies and tactics in a gray fog of uncertainty that win enough to make one profitable. Trading is uncertain..will always be uncertain..can never be nailed down exactly..simply because there are too many variables. Some variables are known. Others are unknown. Others cannot be known because they have yet to be invented or to even arrive on the scene.

Take your computer programming books and store them away in a locked trunk. Toss your scientific mindset in the kitchen garbage can to never be retrieved again for use in the trading world.

Then observe price and how it moves ...don’t worry about why. (But I will let you in on a secret..it moves because institutions move it..) Learn how they move the markets...how..not why...the chart will show you all you need to know. Turn the tv off ..don’t listen to the pundits...who make calls on tv...don’t watch the news nor worry about how news moves the prices. If it does it will ALWAYS show up in the chart. Learn “how” the market moves. Remember the institutions cannot hide what they do. Learn the charts. All you need to know is right there in the charts to be seen by all.

Once you learn all that well then opened the locked trunk, if you must, and dig out your coding books and try coding a few things based up what you have learned.

Best wishes, you will be back. Two years is enough for the “bug” to bite you. You will not be able to walk away and quit...no sir..not yet. But two years is not enough to learn diddly squat.

I'm working on this for 2 years and i have nothing left. It's like addiction. I know i will not be able to profitable but i'm still on it. Even if i can find a profitable strategy i will not be able to trade because no more balance left to trade. Actually I have found one. But it's all historical... It worked last 10 years and i doubt it will work tomorrow.

I know i know, most of you will call me loser and get mad at me. You are right. I'm a loser. I accept in advance and still love you. This is just my opinions. Like everyone says, these are not financial advice :)

You'll be back. Until then enjoy the break.

I say that because when I read your story I see passion, not addiction. You may not realize it, but you've covered a LOT of ground in 2 years, and have clearly developed valued skills. Others have offered advice about where to go from here ... I would just echo that you have to find a path, but also a pace, that works best for you. Kind of like work/life balance. Trading is not as much a job that you get trained for ... as a creative endeavor like teaching yourself to compose music ... very similar to coding, which you already know ! I've been at it for a very long time, but not at a make-or-break pace, so that it didn't disrupt the rest of my life.

As a coder and data scientist, you'll have no problem rebuilding for the next effort ... or for a continued effort. Enjoy the journey !
 
Guys I really appreciate all your comments. When I said i have spent 2 years, I'm talking about full 2 years. Dreaming candles and sitting before my laptop for more than 15 hours a day and sleeping less with full of nightmares.

Even I can find a working one, i have nothing left to trade!

I really thank you all of you who's trying to help me and i see that all of you is really trying. I thought some people will tell me loser and etc but you did not. I really appreciate.

Today, I'm leaving everything behind. No more trading, no more stress or happiness. Just nothing. All these scammers costed my life. They sold me dreams. I have paid my hard earned money to them. They say that this is not financial advice, but this is what they do. Brokers are like angels comparing them.

At youtube, you can watch hundreds of videos. They claim that they have found a holy grail strategy. The holy grail is accepting the losing trades...

I hope you guys can make millions of dollars. I'm sure some of you will eventually make. Time is up for me.

May the peace be with you!

nicely put
i would not like to get personal,but some people, are really naive if they think they can earn money in 1-2 years....
trading is the most competitive of all activities and add to that the most unscrupulous of them all

it is most frustrating to educate the masses.

i have given many the secret to life but they scoff at me: work hard do not chase money or girls or fast cars tell the truth and love everyone.

they call me nuts....
 
If trading is zero-sum. Then someone has to win. In the case of the OP, where did your money go?

If someone is selling a strategy, then it doesn’t work. If their strategy had +EV, then they would be better off trading it themselves than giving it away.
