In fact, a whole series on how to develop, test and document strategies, from either a hunch or 'modelling' would be incredibly useful.
You've often given us all a fish, but what I want is the net....or a clue to where I can learn how to make a net
100% agree. I don't know why the forum isn't rife with this. The process of modeling & edge development should be everywhere. A trader who knows how to make an edge, will have an edge for life.
its a zero sum game, not such a good thing to give too much away, better to have lots of people not winning.
I'd agree if the market only contained traders, but there's bookies and punters out there who can pay a few quid extra to make the whole trading population a little extra if everyone is a bit sharper and more tooled up. Like the new BA version, everyones going to gain (apparently) so I hope that's at the expense of the bookies and punters and not each other.
I've a feeling that the whole trading ecosystem only functions because there's almost as many edges as there are traders, but most traders just sit comforably in the groove of their favourite few styles/methods; horse reversals, breakouts, sup/res, B2L, scalping, football draws, tennis comeback etc etc etc ...I suspect only a few really squeeze the pips out of every method. There's basically room for all of us.
Certainly if there weren't many ways to do this then the whole system would grind to a halt. So giving people the key to unlocking even more hidden nuggets would actually be a good thing
Variety is the spice of life, and for the markets too?
