Discipline is the first you should practice

[geneticien]

Not happening, can't teach a computer to think, few hours per day, much prefer to 8hours at a job, I've got plenty of time although everything else comes before trading.

Get a bit more consistent, run the account up to stupid number and retire hopefully to Spain near a nice beach

I recall Jim Simons famously said that the reason why he went algorithmic/automated was because they could not backtest emotions which are involved in manual trading. If something goes wrong, it might be easier to tune your automated system rather than to tune your mental state.

99% of my issues are mental so agreed easier to tweak code.

Woke up early, about to start trading DAX, support calls first in months 3 of them back to back and 2hours later I'm too tired and missed some good moves, Automating has it's advantages.

Allocate 20% of your time to create some automation, e.g., signal generation. Good mental health is not a perfectly renewable resource.

Nah, too much like my old life I'm trying to get away from, ie coding for a living.

My Mental health went years ago LOL ( Nahhhh 100% Sane, which sucks, easier to be a nutter in this world )

¿Qué hora es, por favor?
¿Cuánto cuesta un final feliz?
¿Cuánto por una hora de lo que quiero?



Most speak English, well in the touristy bits, been there enough times I remember some of the speak no idea how to write it, comes back quickly when over there.

Of course, there is a lot of good trade, and discipline is in the first row.
