Nor is watching videos, you have to do by doing by hand, there is something doing by hand to thought processes and be able to read charts without thinking about it. You never will be able to program unless you know what charts are doing. You will never be able to save time as you have to put in the 10,000 hours of screen time. I know of no large traders that made it big that didn't. I have developed over 35 systems in my life as a trader and 13 automated which is direction most are taking as well. But you hand out too much of anything, then I have to compete with the masses or some sob will sell them, so you going to have to discover what works, John Hills books are best from late 1970s, more have coped his work to make systems than anyone I know.
What you hope to gain from what you buy are tidbits or something that will trigger an idea within you that adds to your Trading Plan.
I like the older stuff like Aberration, Catscan, ATS-3200, Anticipation, Dollar Trader, R-Breaker, Serendipity, Mystery System, FP S&P Trade, Feeder Trader, what my staff does is watch all systems and know all the drawdowns and equity highs, so we won't trade any system till it has gone into equity drawdowns to a "mean" then we start following those systems-when it has made new equity highs, we don't take any more signals, this tests out best for me since it is my funds that are traded. These are the best systems out of over 600 systems I have either bought or reversed engineered. Some systems will show to be better, but for list of reasons, new is seldom better and I like systems that been around. As far as day trading systems, mine are best for me as I understand charting, price and volume.
And of course I have my own Very Long Term Commodity method that is automated and hedged.
And no, I will not share, I don't believe in robbing the developers, Karma is a bitch..
