fair points certainly. The risks of my approach have been highlighted by a lot of people. & i myself do tend to lean more on the "I won't trade it just yet... can I make it any better first" - which is a dangerous mentality.
That said, I've made more gains in knowledge, in the last 2 mths, than the last 2 yrs. & I was pretty much trading every race back in 2017 (got a full set of videos
). The approach you mentioned just didn't work for me (hence my bias towards quanting!!).
My trading was extremely stale in 2017 - but my best trades have always been the quantitative ones (hence why I love BA, & am drawn to traders such as Dallas & Peter as my mentors - vs. someone like CB). & in fact that was actually why I joined BA - because I didn't used to. & I can never see myself leaving BA - it's simply a fundamental part of my trading now - & it does have a lovely interface
I just really do struggle with subjective decisions - unless I understand the workings. i.e. "Only trade good ranges" - I have to know what a "good range" looks like, roughly, with some quantitative variables (i.e. the shape, volume amounts etc). "Only back the a runner when the another runner drifts" - how are we defining drift, how are we defining "runner"? etc Drift to me, is different to a drift to you. But a drift of -2%, suddenly we both know what "drift" means.
I personally don't have the skills to answer those questions, subjectively/discretion/feel, in a live market
May have rambled, soz lads - aint got nothing to do with restrictions that
