For profitable traders only...how much is your strategy worth?

Okay -- some thoughts:
☼ This is like one of the *coolest* threads this year. I know it's only February, but shit.
☼ You guys have (collectively) hit on about every real, *material* concern to be raised --
☼ you've tossed it all back and forth -- *great* give-and-take..... but...
☼ HOW HAS NO ONE YET BROUGHT UP DRAKE???
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation
I mean, it's ALL there -- all these past 8 pages of comments -- in there somewhere.

Great job, all.
If you look at Drake, it'll have it all: just substitute "Viable Market Price" for Life -- and whittle the universe down until it fits. Plug in the numbers, and voilà.

After one year should @fan27 have spectacular results, the selling price may quadtruple.

Ahh, just beat me too it...

Jan was an easy month. How much did you made or lose using that strategy back in oct. - dec. 2018?
More...

Are you really trading??? The last quarter of 2018 was the best for many years in futures ES. Far easier than jan. I think there is a thread about how good october was.

Isn't that what makes it discretionary by definition? I guess one can try, but it will become so complicated and unpredictable that I would not put any real money in it.
More...

No, but you need a lot of practice as you need to master the discretionary part very well. For me it works well, and replaying the same periods over and over again give roughly each time the same result. No relevant differences. So fairly predictable. I see that applying the rules can sometimes give a different trade but as it happens in both ways (profit and loss), they compensate each other and the result does not change a lot.

Oh, I understand. I was purely speaking about futures.

Fan27 was also speaking about futures, not stocks.

My current approach trades stock index futures (ES, NQ, YM) with 2 to 3 trades per week.

This is only for profitable traders that have at least of one year of trading with real money. If you were to sell and train someone your strategy. How much would you sell it for?
More...

Considering top hedge fund managers who actually trade the stockmarket earn billions of dollars from their fees plus 25% of their funds earnings, why would they give the store away? If you want a piece, they will demand tens of millions of your monies charge you fees on top of their 25% of the earnings. You will get a decent return on your monies which is pretty much it.
 
I've weirdly made a bunch of newbies profitable over the last 10+years and so far I've charged, £0.00.

Issue is I could teach you how to trade the current market conditions on say YM fairly easily, but when the market conditions change, then your kinda stuck!!

Never found a long term solution, it's crack it, make some, give some back and re master new conditions, repeat, hard work!!
