Daytrading or swing trading (which is what I am trying to do) is incredibly difficult. I've spent well over 40hrs a week for several years studying charts and trying to get to the intuitive level of interpreting them so I can trade effectively. I've developed a system for automatically downloading thousands of charts daily so I can scan them more effectively.
I've lost my shirt...
My only rational reason for continuing is that it has been a very difficult market and I feel I am learning. I will be inheriting some money in a few years and by then I hope to know what I am doing.
