It is a simple m/a with no cross , a few simple rules and some well thought betting sequences is required.

What suits an individual is really the only way to make money , somebody else's profitable method may lose money if others used it.Each trader's method is unique to them , so beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

So you admit it's not the method, but the trader?

Here's the article:

There's a nice encapsulation of core issue with humans trading:

The researchers believe fear had a lot to do with the poor performance of nonbrain-damaged participants. "If you just observe these people, they know the right thing to do is invest in every single round," says Baba Shiv, an associate professor of marketing at the Stanford business school and a co-author of the study. "But when they actually get into the game, they start reacting to the outcomes of the previous rounds."

Thanks for the info. I was not aware of the study. My take away would be that computers make the best traders of all ( zero emotions)-- we are witnessing this with HFT.

Much of HFT looks at the book to make decisions, not past price movement, it is proactive not reactive. Reactive is weak (TA). Proactive is strong (HFT). Look at the evidence.

And who said this? :D
 
maybe not though... I am reading about bots fucking up left and right. so with that comes other problems, and costs huge money.

perhaps you can throw some MA's on a 5min... but before you place a trade, make sure you get out the louisville slugger and smash yourself in the head a few times. seems like some of these people may have tried this already. like trading, this is risky.

aim for the limbic cortex...
