As stated before different people define edge differently. I don't consider it an edge but I now have a technical based strategy that is robust enough to work most of the time in the tickers that I trade. I think that I will be able to use the base of this strategy in perpetuity. But I don't think that I can just set it and forget it and never maintain it. I am going to need to optimize parameters and I want to improve it's performance by both trying to squeeze out more gains and minimize the losses. as I experience different types of market conditions. Risk management with it should improve just with more market experience. But what I consider to be an edge is taking advantages of a very specific idiosyncrasy that exists in the market and that time. Perhaps some people can get good at spotting and taking advantage of different market idiosyncrasies and can always find edge
Exactly... !! Van Tharp's book... One of the Best... https://www.amazon.com/stores/Van-K...ramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true I think this should be in every traders' library.
If you find yourself agreeing with Bull1Shit2, then you may wish to reconsider your position. Including in this instance.
One of the greatest. RIP good friend. That book obliterated my delusion of 1000% per year returns, betting it all, EVERY TRADE!
Be nice. What I like about @Buy1Sell2 is he never changed his position or thesis all these years. A man of principle.
