Thankfully, I learned way before coming to this forum. But trading is about market knowledge and one thread is not going to cut it. You have to explore on your own of all the ways others view trading in their own ways. I prefer pre 2007 threads, and you do have to read the good bad and ugly, that's years to test it all. And I am all automation now, pure systemic as I already know by doing personal twenty year journal, am God awful at discretionary, but decent systems developer. I never liked actually doing manual trading but did so for thirty years, for me so boring to sit there waiting, and NOW have a sort of life of doing back testing but more study for risk management. My evolvement has changed from making new entry signals to how to hedge any entry. By far, risk management has been toughest challenge, so I am more prone to finding these types of articles.
Good luck to your travels of playing the game.
