Can YOU make money as a trader?

here's the story:
The retail trader is taught a losing strategy from day one, he finds out that it doesn't work after backtesting... he looks somewhere else and all he finds is garbage.
he says, "I have to find it myself", but with basic programming skills all he can backtest are strategies based on MA's, which provide a relatively small edge.

he lacks funds, which causes stress, and his probabilities to succeed as a trader are practically 0.

he may learn programming and find something better but still with $3-5k he feels like he's wasting time.or he needs to trade very high risk which can lead to serious mistakes.

sad reality.

{quote} Unfortunately, it's just a mythomane like the vast majority here. He is just trying to take advantage of some desperate guys and sell them his EA for a few bucks...which is quite weird for a doctor... @Armyda Stop spamming and keep low profile otherwise you will end up in commercial, just like the OP by the way

There's no problem with gambling.. if done automatically, sistematically it can be fun and rewarding IMO. plus you can have a very small edge.

btw generally speaking there's no need to trade manually as almost anything can be automated. it is also impossible to backtest manually not just because it takes a lot of time, but also because of the cognitive biases involved..

if you can't backtest automatically, your system is very likely to be a product of your fantasy lol

do you think breakouts can't be automated ??


the only thing I think it's impossible to automate is a "volatility breakout system", not based on indicators (bb etc.), but on price action.

I don’t agree with this. Not all trading strategies can be automated but that doesn’t mean that they can’t work. Forward testing through demo or small live accounts can still be very effective even if it takes longer.
When I say "backtesting" I mean proper backtesting.. at least 10 years.
