Hi,I read your post last night when it had only single reply and thought to myself "this is gonna intimidate some folks here".Some come here to vent,emotions of trades they take bring reaction of all sorts.
What GAT writes is exactly what you need to understand before you start.I need to pour some criticism towards the fact that you did not evaluate what trading is before you decided this is what you will do.You dealing with few more dimensions here,you can't put what trade you take into a sequence.You did not have to deal with emotions to get back into the trade,revenge trade and what if you had a limit order and prices run away for you this was your biggest gain and you did not have position on.Trading is much different than counting cards above the fact that how many deck you don't know about are there.
What you did in playing blackjack was copycat,here you need to invent what works,no book will show you that.You will read books you will know a lot of technical terms,that is not enough.No book will show you profitable system.
OK you learn,then you go "live" you will take trades,it will hit you that consistency is the name of the game.This will an eye opener and you already spend a year on this project.It may very well be waste of time.
I did not doubt your story about blackjack is real from the way you describe what you did.You simply say things,i reread with critical view and is cool to me.
I would suggest you read few book about "market profile" type of trading and get yourself familiar with this concept get software and watch it live for few months.There are sequences there and maybe this will be some kind of similarity to what you did in blackjack.
Also pivot points type of analysis and pay attention to order book to understanding what is happening near these levels.
You need picture of what is going on:moving average,Donchian channel,maybe one oscillator.I suggest imho to stay away from relying too much on technical indicators,they are 50/50 as far as signals and will play with your mind,because they are not leading indicators.
To tell you took me around 10 years on and off to learn and discover something cool.In the process i walked away from it for a year,thought i had enough.Came back fresh with different mindset to negate everything learned to that point.
Don't occupy yourself with grammar if you have something relevant to say."No need for proofreading has".Smart will read between the lines no matter the source.Remember some will always be agitated,you made yourself cool million dollars FFS this is an accomplishment!
And honestly i would not want to be in your shoes right now,this is way more difficult subject.
best regards
