These types of threads will be around until the end of time.

The reason why you have lost money is because you have no edge.

You cannot be jumping into a market and clicking buttons and thinking that you will be better than the flip of a coin. This includes technical analysis.

The guys who do technical analysis are in a world of their own. If you are going to win at this, you need a mentor, somebody who is going to teach you wrong from right and give you shoulders to stand on.

If you're willing to seek the answers, you will find them. I've made two posts about two strategies and I advise you have a read of the threads;

I made those posts for beginners. One day in the future I will make a deeper source material and provide a lot of guidance, but for now, this is enough shining light for you.

I've been doing this for 7 years. I spend 70-100 hours a week on it because I like it. If you want to be positive at the game, start reading and start asking questions

Thank You @s0mmi! I'm reading and researching right now. I devote weekends to researching as much as I can. I am eager to check your posts out. Agreed on your point about simply clicking and continuing to lose money, which inspired me to start this thread. I think the pain of going through Al Brooks' material has helped in the past week. I've been going through Adam Grimes' free course, but it is not clicking with me as much. I am at least in the green for the past week, which I am happy about.
