Yes, I agree. I need to take another look at what you wrote regarding your Renko strategy idea so I can actually begin to backtest it and possibly do some live forward demo trading for my available time window on the side. I haven't fully understood ...

Thank you. That reflects my own impression. This shows once again how difficult it is to find reliable and quality trading information. Like you, I immediately wondered whether his backtest results for the strategy presented weren't a bit too good ...

Yes, in that sense. I think what AI and I meant is that you don't have to be a "long-term trend follower." Of course, there are microtrends in every time frame; the question is how well they can be traded.

Trading for a living

Thanks. Yes, that's right. I agree. Sounds like a good book, I'll get it. Thank you! Yes, that might sound contradictory. I've followed the ORB approach for a while and tried it manually in various markets, but without lasting success. The system I ...

Yes, I also think that such a path could have taught me a lot more quickly and effectively than the knowledge I've gathered from all sorts of books, the internet, etc. However, I fear it's now too late for me to pursue a career as a trader at an ...

The idea that market makers destroy trading edges once they are well-known is largely a myth; market makers primarily focus on providing liquidity and balancing their books, not on arbitrarily crushing individual traders' strategies. While market ...

Yes, I just don't have the money for personal coaching right now. I seriously considered it two years ago when I was still a bit more liquid, but my research and inquiries with several providers in the field didn't give me much hope to find real ...

Trading for a living

Thank you. Yes, I'll see if I can make it by the end of October. There isn't much time left, but hopefully I should be able to secure the first allocation by the end of November. I'm still looking at what I can optimize. As you say, changing the ...

Thanks. I've only been getting more involved with futures in the last three months. I don't have any trading experience in that market. Prop companies are an option for me anyway due to my lack of capital, but without a trading plan (apart from the ...

I don't want to deny that this is an approach familiar to the evil market makers. However, I'm less interested in outsmarting other market participants and more interested in finding a strategy/system that can sustainably achieve a repeatable ...
