Hello

I have tested many indicators and strategies, but unfortunately nothing has led to the desired result.
Can you recommend me some good indicators and strategies with which you made your positive experiences.

I would be very happy whom you can help me.

thank you

1) Remove all indicators from your chart.
2) Forget about algorithmic trading.
3) Read this thread front-to-back:


4) Read this thread front-to-back:


5) Create a journal on nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) and begin your journey of actually learning to trade.

@TRADER24
Whatever you do, DO NOT dismiss the recommendations @Big Mike offered. You are best served in the long run to do exactly as he suggested. That is your best opportunity for success. Assuming you study those threads and start sim trading without indicators, fight the urge to start putting indicators back on your charts. Otherwise, you will be right back where you started. After you study and maybe trade for a while without indicators you may decide that trading that way isn't for you. Don't make that mistake. Fight through that urge as well.

I can't say these things any more bluntly.

Hi @TRADER24

Heed Big Mike's response. It is no doubt not what you wanted to hear. Removing indicators from your chart is probably the furthest thing from your mind right now. You are likely thinking you just haven't found the right indicators yet. And once you do, you will be successful. Nope, unfortunately that's not the issue.

Read the threads Mike recommended.

I guess you really didn't want to hear that you should cease and desist for a while with indicators and automated strategies. That's too bad. Until you come to that conclusion, you will continue down the path that bears very little if any fruit.

Hello

Ok, it was just a question!
What's so bad about indicators and strategies?
To act wen your method is so good why do not automate it as a strategy?
