I agree. I saw some interviews with Larry Williams at the end of last year. Really good stuff. I also read his book, "Long-Term Secrets to Short-Term Trading," hoping to glean some strategies for myself, but so far, that hasn't been the case. I also ...

Agree Yes, I can understand that too. I agree that discretionary trading has the potential to adapt to changing market conditions in ways that a rigid systematic approach might not. However, this requires that you are a very good discretionary ...

Thanks. Didn’t know there a word for it (alpha decay). What you say may be true and describes the problem I have. While discretionary trading approaches may be less likely to be copied and thus more likely to avoid the phenomenon of alpha decay, it ...
