Hello MacBookProHo,

Of course knowing the future in trading or investing is the holy grail of trading. Insider Trading proved that too us already.

Unfortunately, we do not know the future of a trading position outcome.

Are you insider trading?

I don't know how someone can 'insider trade' the S&P, the entire broad market. Even if someone does have inside information, that is no guarantee they'll make money....the market can definitely be iffy, at times. And slightly more complicated than knowing reporting numbers.

They keywords are Reasonably, and Consistently. Anyone can trade, guess, gamble and be right....80% of the time, or 26% of the time, or 11% of the time, or 71% of the time. Having a 1:1 risk/reward ratio within this overall picture will get you nowhere. Don't guess and gamble. Trading and understanding and observing the market and knowing when to strike is part art, part science. Nothing serious can be achieved by an automated, fixed, formula.

Establishing a reasonable market hypothesis, and waiting patiently for tells and signs, and knowing when to strike to place the trade/and close the trade, will get you there.

Of course a trader will be wrong from time to time, maybe a lot of time. But losses are ok, fine and dandy....as long as the trader is self-aware and neutral enough to minimize, and cut, those losses early.

If a trader is Reasonably right, and Consistent overall, they can make a lot of money from the market.
You don't have to nail the complete market image chart line....just nailing it partially, or fractionally, will make someone rich.

I know all this may sound vague and generic, but I won't reveal my exact trade process, step-by-step, in actionable technicality,

Hello, New Person, uscsun,
If you want to make a million in the market....in a year....there's only one, ideal, way to do it: day trade the S&P using options. Don't scalp it, just aim to understand and capture and ride the major trend movement of the day. Do that, grow and compound...and you'll make a million in the market, in a year.
Of course, though, however, the hard part is understanding the trade process with a reasonable high degree of accuracy. Knowing the future, reasonably, is the Holy Grail. If you know the future, consistently, you can make a nuclear bomb of plutonium in the market.

I understand why you don’t want to give any live calls because it could give away your trading signals, but if you are going to talk down to failed traders, at least post a picture of your house and sports car out front.
 
My favorite setup is when 2 or more futures which are normally intercorrelated
move in tandem.

This is where I trade in bigger quantities.

It is because he does not have any of it. I have seen this behavior before many years ago, in forums that had nothing to do with trading. Back in the dial-up modem days. It's the same ol' crap, over and over again.
 
if y= 3*x，and volume bigger than average, then long it.
if y= (-5)*x and volume smaller than average, then short it.
if price moving is quite smooth and stable, double or triple your good positions.
