Folks, It looks like I am not going to get my question answered on this forum either.. Oh well, I will continue to ask this same question in hundreds of other forums until I tire.

Bobby, if your goal is to be a profitable trader, I would suggest using your time to journal and learn from your own actions and mistakes so you can maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses. But, I have a feeling this approach does not agree with you, so that probably means you would be happier doing something other than trading.

However, if your goal is simply to make money (without being a trader yourself), and if you want someone else to trade for you as it seems like you may (you keep looking externally for methods and systems), why not simply hire a financial advisor from some big firm and go put your money to work with them, and let them handle the methodology. This would seem to be a better fit for you, this way you can spend your time researching the firm and the credentials of the person handling your money, which seems to be a strong suit for you, and not micro-manage the day to day operation of trading, which seems to be a weak point for you.

IMO, a professional is just an amateur who has succeeded.

I agree I've often said a "Master" trader is just a trader who has made all the mistakes and survived.
