Trading Systems -- newbie

[dalailama]

Quote from mohsengh:

I am a newcomer to this trading business. Since I know programming languages, I am fascinated by the power of coding and developing trading systems. I would appreciate any hint about how and where from I should start.

Ok.. start studying price action and forget about systems

Look at volume patterns on that price action and you will have better performance.....price action and volume is all you need.

Now how am I supposed to charge him for the 2nd part of the secret?

As charting software I recommend Tradestation as strategy automation development I cannot, think it's weak and has many rough areas.

Some (but not all) of the information conveyed in this thread is selling you what more experienced traders call "snake oil". I suggest you see if you can find out what that terminology means. If you are convinced that the information in this thread is "unbiased", then you are probably too gullible ever to succeed as a trader.

Let me express my condolences, in advance, for your future losses.

I said I was a newbie in Trading Systems. I didn't say "I was just born!" I know what "snake oil" is. Thanks but I am already too cautious. If you know anything about the subject, please leave a useful post. Otherwise just leave this thread as you vowed before.

You have your facts wrong. I never "vowed" to leave this thread.

I also think I already gave you a useful post. The first thing you need to do, if you want to be a trader, is to avoid allowing your greed to cause you to be taken by confidence men; and I think that my warnings in this thread were useful, even though you were not able to benefit from them.

I won't further attempt to assist you, because I think you are unable to benefit from anything I might say. I might, however, reply if I see you again inaccurately putting words in my mouth. If you don't want me to post in this thread, then you should ignore me.
