I will assume this man is serious, to a degree, and certainly probing. An amateur, a working professional, must use EOD methods , IMO , and instrument or market selection is critical.
Generally speaking there are two methods on which systems are built....mean reversion and trend following. Paitence , as it relates to frequency of trading and position size, ( lever or not)
will sepetate the winners from losers when one properly executes the fundamental method to follow. Correct definition of trend and assumption of,its continuance is required and most will
not accept this. There is no magic, no secret system. It is the trader, specifically, what he brings to the basic trend following method(not a system) that matters most. As simple and innocent the concept of "buy the dip" within trend is ...it is those pressing this method to max
who are thriving in this market environment.
Google ' buy the dip' and select the the animated video on youtube posted on March, 2014. Wisdom.
It is a conversation between market participants.. One is a successful trader and the other is probably a loser. I leave it to you the reader to determine why.
