Any tips?
There is no "get rich quick" or silver bullet solution.
However, humans have an amazing capacity for pattern recognition. Way better than any computer.
So read, read, read, experiment. Fail. Experiment, read. Fail. Adjust, adapt, read, succeed, fail, adjust, succeed again.
I am fully automated, started in 2011. There have been lots of experiments and then bang, I found out a couple of things, through observation and failure. If you don't fail, you can't succeed. No longtime trader has a 100% successful trade rate.
My number 1 tip. Don't pick up pennies in front of the steamroller (this is my biggest impulse, many people look for one tick and let it run 200 ticks the other way hoping for it to come back - do the opposite). We are all tempted to pick up pennies - don't do it.
So, what to read - well these forums for a start, Peter's blog, watch all the videos, get to know forum members some are old, some are new - I'd review the posts made by these people if I were you - Jollygreen, Dallas, Letiss, Markmeets - just to name a few.
There is a thread on "good books" - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=78&p=109454&hilit=books#p109454
Read them.
No one's going to hand over their edge. But you'll get encouragement.
