Frankly, I've gone from being pig-ignorant about anything related to finance during all of my previous life ("money comes in, money goes out... can't 'splain dat!") to - well, at least somewhat educated about it during the past year and a half. Truth to tell, it's been a bloody shock. A continuous series of shocks, including the incredibly bitter realization of where I would be today financially if I had learned about this early on. But better late than never - and it would have been "never" except for a series of fortunate accidents. I'd love to have an account big enough to segment in the way you're describing - but that's a ways off, unless a number of things come together for me.
So far, I've had only mild success trying to scalp futures (i.e., chart-based/directional trading); nothing with a definite positive expectancy, although moving averages plus cumulative delta seems promising. So does market profile. In any case, I'll be exploring all kinds of avenues while keeping my current processes running... hopefully, my brain remains plastic enough to keep learning and absorbing this stuff at the same clip that it has been. Although it often feels like the info is overflowing my brain pan and sloshing out of my ears.
Gosh - a stalker of my very own! I'll be sure to mark it down somewhere. My list of blocked idiots is the first thing that comes to mind...
