...And They Have a Plan. (Live.)

It's ok for Amazon to be in the red for the first decade or even two -- but not a retail trader at home,

Says who? YOU??! Who the fuck are you to suggest that as sacrosanct? You who do not even have a journal on this forum, and are proffering that idea in my journal, where I post real shit? The fack is wrong with you?!?

If you would just post a journal here with your own trades, it might humble you, because you would discover who you really are, in your face.

It would humble you. Like it has humbled many people here before you.

Let me chime in here, again,
But both of you sound like problematic gamblers....convinced, somehow, magically, you will win and win, eventually, if you just keep playing and trying.
Real life doesn't, necessarily, work out like that. Save that feel-good, determination, stuff for the movies.

A famous person said crazy is doing the same thing...over and over again...expecting a different outcome.
Five years, or more, and net negative,

Hello MacBookProHo,

Appreciate the response buddy.

You are absolutely right. It all means nothing if profits does not come in the end.

I personally have given up on manual trading, only algo trading now.

You shouldn't necessarily, automatically, instantly, give up on (manual) trading....just because you haven't, truly, discovered the Holy Grail, yet for you.
You should always leave open the possibility you might discover something around the corner.

I'm personally not a fan of algo trading.
I truly believe trading the market involves part art, part science. Part right brain, and part left brain. Part data facts, with part human emotions. And it's the trader's job to observe this delicate dance, understand it, digest it.

I wish I could make you an instant millionaire from this trading endeavor adventure, but real life is not a fantasy movie of the Wizard of Oz, or Alice in Wonderland,...you ultimately have to discover and find your own way,

Hello MacBookProHo,

I have not totally given up on manual discretionary trading. I still trade manually in SIM everyday and try to get the holy grail. So far so good. All winning days since May 9th 2022.

Algo trading is just for fun and removal of uncertainty.

You right. You are right. I haven't given up, just staying SIM.

Good Morning MacBookProHo,

I re-read your post for clarity.

So in your opinion, it is best that a discretionary manual day trader who is not consistently profitable yet after X-XX years of trying to

A. Continue trying day after day.
B. Change methods and re-start.
C. Give up after X-XX years.

My suggestion is C if the trader is not having fun.

My other suggestion is program the trading method and back test it to determine if Edge exist.

Thanks

Fucking power outage. There's been a transformer across the street burping for the past few hours. Sounds like it finally gave up the ghost. lol, I think it is a wild turkey that got caught in the wires. Have to shut down until power comes back.

And folks, this is why you need a battery backup with protection...

See that "Invert" total? That's the sort of thing that fries PCs.

Get a UPS! Save yourself from wild turkeys!

I do have a UPS but it does not seem as fancy as yours, what do you have there? Is it a whole house UPS?

Holy crap, I missed a few pages of posts, glad to see you back at it. Macputzamateur is a real asspipe.
Long ago we were woken up in the middle of the night by an explosion and the power went out. I may have crapped the bed. When I started out for work in the morning, I saw a charcoal squirrel in the alley. Apparently, he chewed on the wrong thing on the transformer next to our building.

Nah, it's a standalone. I used to love APC products. The last one I had lasted for 10 years before the battery shit the bed. When I got the trading machine 8 years ago I had to get a pure sinewave output unit which APC didn't offer at the time, so I switched to the CyberPower series and have stuck with them ever since.


Inexpensive and reliable. What seems fancy is just their software status panel.

Does this mean great minds think alike or we are both retarded...
