Very well, but I didn't mean self-indulgent in a moral sense but in an epistemological/ontological sense. Your significant self-indulgence is displayed in your statement "...I feel like I know far too much..." as well as how that self-indulgence ...

Trading for a living

I'd agree with that, but what I see here, 10-15 years of unsuccessful trial-and-error, I've seen before. And it typically ends in one of two ways: (1) The aspirant is forced by circumstances to give up without ever finding success, or (2) The ...

Trading for a living

Oh, you know him? Ahead of my last post I had given up, and the image of a rather unpleasant character was emerging. Can't help and don't want to help. But I thought I should say something, and other readers may benefit too....or not.

Trading for a living

Yes, I made the same observations, but I'd like to be sure. Doesn't look inspiring at all...

Interesting...Aren't these the chaps, Simon at least. who were behind Capital Spreads long time ago? Do you have any experience with them?

Prop Firm Hub 2.0

Hello, and thank you for your reply. Several years? That's like doing a Ph.D.! If you are familiar with the basics, 6-18 months would be more reasonable. Like a Masters degree, of which I've had the mixed blessing of supervising quite a few. And ...

Trading for a living

I see another contradiction: "...I feel like I know far too much..." and "I think my problem is more that I haven't been able to find a real strategy/plan that simply works to achieve what I'm looking for." Which has been apparent from the ...

Trading for a living

Actually, I didn't mean to suggest an arbitrary time limit. Quite the contrary, I meant the question literally - how long do you think it'll take until you make it? And to me the only way of answering such a question would be to make a plan with ...

Trading for a living

You're welcome. As I said, hope it helps in some way. If you are trading ORB, I wouldn't think that trading a portfolio of indices is the best way. I'm convinced that optimisation for a single index would be the best way. This example seems to ...

Trading for a living

Sorry to hear about your challenges. I've certainly had, and have, mine. While it can be hard, I try to see them as opportunities for growth, and I remind myself that a life of complacency and free of problems can be very meaningless. The situation ...

Trading for a living

Yes, it's a difficult game, and one of the main challenges, I think, are that people come into it with unrealistic expectations as to what's possible, and false presuppositions about how that may be done. Yes, of course, it's possible to make a ...

Trading for a living

I'm with you there. I'd say that "statistical robustness" is a fancy way of saying "keep it simple, stupid." But I'm curious...you started this thread askinig for people to share tips, tricks, strategies, etc. If you've already got your approach ...

Trading for a living

Thanks. I understand. To me one of the main advantages of Renko charts is that they allow purely quantitative and mechanical trading, but without the clunky platforms that usually come with it for a reasonable price (MT4/5 not least), and without ...

Trading for a living

Glad you like it. I should also say that the version of statistical robustness that I have arrived at is based on Renko charts, and that there are abundant opportunities for creating solid strategies based on such charts. Some professional, beyond ...

Trading for a living

I seem to be a late-comer to this thread, and that the dialogue has already deteriorated...but I thought i should answer your questions in any case: What has helped you most in moving towards consistent profitability? Consistent behaviour. So One ...

Thanks, makes sense. Btw, I trade Ichimoku on Renko too, but with slightly different settings from you.

That doesn't resonate with my experience at all. How long it takes to build something depends on how many tools you have in your toolbox, and what materials you have available. Strategies can appear almost instantly simply by making a formerly ...

Why in the world would any trading setup work?

Good topic, but to me the following question is really the only interesting one that you ask: And I'll answer that with reference to a list of six character traits, which according to research are shared by all elite traders (in an institutional ...
