It was the sweater that sealed it.

A highly competent trader would not talk about his or her edge(s).

Talk is cheap

Yeah - he did say 'any day, now or 100 years ago'.

Apologies. Quite right. Missed that quote.

Your avatar is a bit distracting.

Ah, you mean the sweater that I had knitted with my favorite pattern, a flag, embroidered
in it.

That was a long time ago. I am not endoresing anyone, but topstep is the only firm that i know of right now that lets you directly test yourself in a potential funding environment.

I just googled them, and it's all about daytrading futures. I swing trade stocks. Ah well...I'll be discovered some day.

That's really cool. But if you are truly hardcore you would get it tattooed! surf

Just to clarify your comments Speculate. You seem to say that an edge is a guarantee that what you hope will happen will and that there are no other edges than existing market defects. Is that what you meant to say or did I misunderstand your comments.

You forgot the most common edge for those not using automation...

The trader because the trader needs to be able to manage all the different components of a trading plan assuming all the components are in place.

Discipline, Risk Management, Stress Management, Trade Signals, Position Size Management, Proper Trading Environment, Proper Capitalization, Proper Collaboration Tools, Proper Trade Platform, Proper Computer Tools and many others.

You gotta manage the above because they are important components of your trading plan. If you pretend its all about trade signals and nothing else...you're doomed.

Not really.

This is like saying a chef needs a set of sharp knives. It's common sense. It gets you in the game with a hope. Your list wont give ANYONE an advantage what so ever - let alone compete for a genuine edge.

Stress management lol. Whats stressful about being able to make money? Stress is for losers pal. Where shall I go on holiday this month - ahh shooot. I cant handle the stress of deciding. LOL. Happens all the time!
