Is it possible to be a lazy , set and forget trader?

For Set and Forget swing stocks, just jump on trends, play mulitiple positions long and short ( 66% long in upward market ), remove the TP or go for more than 1:1 aswell.

Used to do that 20years ago, made wayyyy more than daytrading has since so can understand, but feel the potential is higher with day trading so ?? sticking at it. ( under funded for stocks to )
 
Scenario, new trading day begin , spend 1-2 hour on 1 or 2 chart for analysis and then place pending order , set 1:1 RR TP and SL and completely forget about it, Check the result next day.

Market order and monitoring is not allowed because we are trying to be lazy, set and forget trader.

Strategies
=======
- Swing High/Low breakout
- Other major support/resistance breakout
- Buy/Sell limit in trending situation
- Swing high/swing low reversal (using buy/sell limit)
- Other support/resistance reversal

Any other ideas?

I have been trading fully automated for the past 6 years mostly EOD swing trading spending on average a couple of hours a week managing my positions.

I am not lazy. I just hate tedious work. This is a link to a course that explains the process in detail:

You’d still have to spend time bringing it all together and eventually developing your own strategies but these are the tools that make my life easier. I have switched from writing my own custom code to using these tools.

I am getting even lazier as you can see /s
 
If you believe the markets are random and unpredictable then why are you trading in the first place?

My stock strategy has been running simulated for close to 3 years now and live for 18 months (small size) and i have been achieving a 70% success rate with an average risk:reward of around 1:1,6.

As far as i am concerned it is working just fine.

These results are a combination of the SIM and live results since the beginning of testing the strategy.

What tools/technologies are you using ?

Nothing too fancy, a stock screener (StockMonitor) and i am going to Interactive Brokers soon to trade the stocks with MOC orders. Now i still open the positions myself right before the close.
