Discretionary vs Mechanical Trading Benefits and cons?

You're not, not your not.
Yeah, I guess you saw me down at the soup kitchen!!

My account is in profit so yep, not full time, not making enough to live off.

You just sound like a newbie that has no idea what he's up against.

Yeah, only been at this for 2 days now. Looking forward to your valuable teachings!

I'd love to continue this oh so intellectual conversation, but it's time for me to put on my Mickey Mouse pajamas and go to bed.

Your too arrogant to learn anything, thanks for all the money you lose every little bit lost helps us profitable people!!

I think he/she is the real deal, you are taking money from us mom & pop small retail traders and not him/her.
 
Which is better for you and why?

Discretionary works forever because you consistently adapt but not mechanical?
What are your thoughts?

Trading is part art, part science...each new day, and each new chart is a unique....dynamic ratio between those two.

It takes a skilled/discretionary trader to realize that and adapt to that and understand and trade that.
Gains (and likewise losses) could be bigger if you're able to maximize and foresee that.

I've been staring exclusively at the SPY, S&P 500, chart daily for the past 8 years. I like to think I kind have a slight grasp on this topic.

Do you believe someone that has looked at the same *historical* daily charts...in a matter of days, can derive the same insights as you? If not, why?

Not necessarily;

it takes Time...to build collective wisdom and market and trading philosophy.
And mental maturity and fortitude, and execution abilities.

Trading is incredibly complex -- Having just one insight intact is not nearly enough to succeed.
