I know trading is always built on the foundation of self-discovery. I think it's really hard work. Could systems, techniques and formulas help?

In reference to your thread title, my experience is that extracting from the markets requires very little creativity. In regard to your post, I think self-discovery is worth spending time and effort on for its own sake. I don’t think it is a prerequisite to trade.

I know it’s common for people to build up trading as if it’s a grand activity, spiritual even. SimpleMeLike has it about right. It’s just money at the end of the day. Or when you have enough to support your desired lifestyle, it’s just a choice of how to pass time and stay interested.

Trading is a game in the truest sense. I think beginners can improve their ability to play it by dialing down its supposed importance. It’s a hard game to play when you’re greedy for money. That’s about all the self-discovery you need to extract. The rest is to learn to trade.
 
@Jadeyxx17, I am not kidding when I said most don't understand our own Turtle. Creative problem solving should be done when you are not trading, e.g. as Mr. Turtle said, pre & post market....

While trading, strictly follow your strategy/method is the rule rather than exception. Of course, I am just a retail, don't take me too seriously.

Good Morning Jadeyxx17,

1000% certainty YES it is. Most definitely yes.

Good to know.

My option trades are getting infrequent these days due to market conditions on my targets. I am trying to decide if I should add day trading or butterflies to my trading mix.

I was consistently unprofitable day trading and gave it up back in 2010-11.

Hello ironchef,

Yes, day trading is where all the money and you already know what to do each day to make the money.
