Are we all idiots?

All of this really comes with experience and nothing more, just take a look around how many things you learned when you really started to understand all that things in reality. How many more of those little bad moments come trough you to finally GET it ?

The best thing is that, as you mentioned, it works on any TF. So I believe you'll find the time to trade it on a higher TFs later if the edge is proven.
Also, you can try to contact your broker and ask them to reduce commissions. I read long ago that it worked for some people. Cashback services is another option to reduce trading costs (of course, if you haven't used it already).

Something like it, yes. Too many years spent with all kind of research...

And then, the sudden aha moment...

Yes, I am almost certain an edge exist however, it would be impossible to be profitable using a > 3 pip stop loss.
Without one although I only have 170 trades taken that mean I paid 85 pip to my broker combine with the 50 pip I made myself means, I have approximately 135 pip more than I should have if I was traded without an edge.
Which is huge considering my stop loss is > 3 pip and average Tp is around the same.

3 pip stop losd for 1m it is considerabily huge. However if your strategy works, then it is ok.

I trade sometimes 1 min, even if comission are relatively high, it it true that time is also money, and if one can get in 1 mintue tf more than others will surely get in 1day Tf, the cost is worth it.

Agreed, the thought of my broker taking 2/3 of my profit pretty much piss me off tho xD, but that is the cost of doing business.

average pips per trade is only.3
pips paid to the broker is.6

Completely agree.

just hit the 500 trade mark, currently about 16% profit just a little update.
May post the TE but it interferes with my focus

I wouldn't argue so categorically, because some complicated and ambiguous situations happen to us all the time, but that's no reason to say that your system doesn't work or the classical approaches that many people have been using for many years don't work. Of course, the market is constantly changing and sometimes it is quite difficult to track these changes or to predict them in advance, on the other hand, nobody makes you risk too much money or demand the impossible from the market, you can always take a step back and look around. You can change your approach or at least test it for a start. I think you've lost some faith in yourself. Take a break and try it again.

immediately you begin profitable, you will feel idiot for all the money and years you have wasted in trying to figure out ways to success...

No. That's because a True Bespoke Edge is not something easily attained. So, all the work you put into it makes you feel like anything but an idiot. In years past, when I thought I found an "edge" I felt like an idiot when I realized it was no "edge" at all. It was merely a method that worked under a specific market condition. When that market condition disappeared the "edge" went away. That's when I realized that in order to truly have a real bespoke Edge, I would have to develop something that was truly different in its approach and that retained its effectively in all market phases. Else, I'd only be replicating what the masses were replicating and the masses are continually and consistently wrong.

I doubt that any Trader having worked to develop their bespoke Edge, would ever feel anything but absolute relief that they can finally get to work on Trading instead of living in a constant state of Edge Shifting. Moving from "edge" to "edge" while never figuring out why the edges they've found, break with a shift in Market Phase.

There are three (3) fundamental Market Phases and two (2) connective conduits between them:

Phase 1: Bullish
Phase 2: Bullish/Horizontal Transition
Phase 3: Horizontal
Phase 4: Bearish/Horizontal Transition
Phase 5: Bearish

The market can be found within this range of behavior 100% of the time. There is no Market Behavior outside of these five Phases. Many books have been written and many careers have been made inside Phases 1 & 2. Hollywood, has drafted entire movie scripts and produces movies all surrounding Phase 1. However, the unique "Edge" is functional and efficient in all five (5) Phases. There is precious little discussion about all Five (5) Phases, because once there is a phase shift, the vast majority of the Gurus vanish off the face of the earth. No more books. No more movies. No more Seminars. No more Bootcamps. No more DVDs. No more Chat Rooms. Just deafening silence until the next Phase 1 or Phase 2 emerges in the market. Then suddenly, boom, another Hollywood script gets made and a bunch of Actors get paid to "recreate" how someone else made their Millions.

A true bespoke "Edge" comes through a proper study of these five (5) Markets and then figuring out a way to consistently roll with them when they shift gears. That takes a lot of hard work and I did not feel anything but wonderful relief after having made that transition. It is not easy to do. If it were, everybody and their grandmother would be a Trader.

Stepping on the accelerator pedal and blasting down the drag strip headed in one direction is relatively easier than strapping on an F1 Car and piloting it around a real Road Course. That road course will have speed variations ranging from 30 mph to nearly 200 mph. Navigating turns through that kind of speed range is simply not something the average Driver can do (without killing themselves). This is precisely why we constantly see about 90%+ of Retail Traders thrashing themselves into barriers while heading into a 45 mph turn at 210 mph. Just nuts. But, we see it all the time.

I remember the days when I drove several Trading Race Cars directly into a brick wall at over 230 mph - destroying accounts along the way. I said, the hell with this nonsense. I need to learn how to build a real Trading Race Car and then learn how to drive the damn thing on a real Road Course (The Five Phase Market). Now, I threshold break when I'm supposed to, set the car low on the track where I'm supposed to, allow the car to push high up on the track when it is supposed to and accelerate hard with a more balanced car going into a high speed straight - like I'm supposed to.

Professional Race Car Drives have to learn to do it. Professional Traders have to learn the exact same thing.

Build a car. Get highly familiar with the track. And, do not push the car beyond its limits OR beyond your limits. Word to the wise.

BTW - if you want to push harder, then you will have to build a car that is capable of being pushed harder. Else, you can take a perfectly well designed and built car and toss it into the wall just as well, by pushing it beyond its limits.

Get a good car and then tune it for the track being used. That's the "Edge."

You know, the thing is that everyone here loses something and gains something, although the first variant of events happens much more often. Of course, if there is some kind of failure - the first thing you want to do is to give up everything and stop being interested in trading in principle. And believe me - each of us was in your shoes. Do not believe in the fairy tales that some traders tell that they have achieved positive results immediately and were able to win the market and always come out the winners. You should understand that drawdowns and other troubles happen to everyone, and sometimes the market really does bring unpleasant surprises, but you need to learn how to deal with it. After all, the same story is waiting for you in any business.
