First and foremost, I know you have shared a ton of code/indicators for software and that is greatly appreciated! But I would love to see some more educational content here on how you identify setups using your tools. I know it is your journal and you don't have to share anything you don't want, but I am afraid showing such large gains without some educational content might be harmful to the community. I have fallen down this rabbit hole before of "Oh there is a magic indicator that some guys mom doubles her money with, I just need to download that and take 60-90 round trips a day and I can be an amazing trader". I get nervous that some might fall into this and end up losing a lot of money (many probably already have from the first couple posts). Maybe you have already shared this on the forum in discussions of your tools and I am not aware.
Love the sharing to see there is a possibility of making money at home by trading Future.
For a while, I wasn't sure even logic would dictate some people are making money consistently. Doing that is not easy of course. Otherwise, there is no (Auction) market, a good market required someone to lose so others will gain. For small traders like us, we are at the noise level of the market to exploit.
Since last year, I can see rules/processes, psychology, and accumulation experiences can get a trader to the promised land. With today's Replay and Micro contract, this training becomes less costly and easier. Still with a lot of hard work (20,000 hours). So personality as a trader becomes a driver for success.
With Emini Future trading, I can see Trend trading vs Scalping has different rules/processes and experiences to be successful. I can imagine a high experience trader can switch between the two on a dime. That is not me yet for full disclosure.
Trading for a living is attractive but it is not for everyone. I would say sitting in a corporate office managed IT infrastructure worldwide in my old job is much easier than trading. For Scalping, Al Brooks is a great solid resource with his hard-to-read three books and many videos.
