I started out in the afterschool of hard knocks as a kid... Hog farm, trailer park, firewood, etc. but I got my hands on an Apple IIe computer early too. I ended up with more degrees than a thermometer later in life and began trading in 1999. My most valuable bits of education helpful to trading were probably Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Math I and II, Statistics, and Computer Math. That's Computer Science for the younger generation, or hey... just Programming for the next younger.
The retail trading industry is comprised of a multitude of central exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, CME, etc.), captive off-exchange markets (forex, CFD's, etc.), broker-dealers, hedge funds, investment banks, pension funds, software providers, and data providers which take profits whether retail traders win or lose. The level of conflicting interests of commercial participants versus retail traders varies widely from one market to another. Step number 1 of becoming a successful trader is choosing the best market(s) to trade.
Having traded so many markets and instruments over the years, I now help beginning or struggling traders for free when they contact me. I have helped many other traders select a market, instrument, chart type, and strategy components without pushing my own products on anyone... no strings attached. The one thing that we the retail traders can do, that commercial traders will not, is help each other for free. (I must admit... I have given free help to beginning fund managers).
And by the way, other people have identified me as a part-time comedian... which I also admit.
Happy trading!🙂
The MT4/MT5 mobile phone/tablet apps are mainly for monitoring current price and open trades, and receiving alerts--not for chart analysis nor placing trades. The mobile apps have fewer built-in indicators than the desktop platforms, and the mobile apps cannot run custom indicators. Also, mobile wireless devices inherently have slower and less reliable connections to data and trade servers. For example, my desktop's hardwired Ethernet has a 1000 Mbps connection while my 5G wireless devices have a 433 Mbps connection on the same modem-router. Keep in mind that cheaper internet service subscriptions are proportionally slower.
And if my wireless device and I go outside of my router's wireless broadcast range, wireless internet service is lost and then I'm totally reliant on my device carrier's mobile data service. My mobile data connection is never as fast as my home network connection. Therefore, I never use MT5 mobile for trading analysis nor placing trades. I only use it for receiving push notifications of disconnections between desktop MT5 and my broker-dealer's trade server, and notifications of trade executions (sent from my desktop platform).
Mac desktops are better than mobile devices but not best for running MT4/MT5. These trading platforms have been designed around the Windows pc operating system for decades. Metaquotes eventually created Mac "versions" so that more people can use the platforms without having to buy a new pc. However, Mac users generally must install and run virtual machine software and even so, the Mac functionality is never 100% on par with the pc functionality. Although Mac's are the gold standard for graphic design and desktop publishing, they are less than ideal for desktop trading.
Windows pc's have been the standard computers for both retail traders and commercial traders for decades. As retail traders, we have quite enough disadvantages to overcome. Commercial traders set up shop right next to exchange/market data centers, and they use pc's and/or field-programmable-gateway-array (FPGA) chipped computers. These folks are not using wireless devices (unless maybe, they're right on the floor of an exchange). Given the army that we're trading against, it makes no sense to disadvantage ourselves further by using workaround devices and slow/unreliable connections.

This Gann Candles indicator incorporates a series of W.D. Gann's strategies into a single trading indicator. Gann was a legendary trader who lived from 1878 to 1955. He started out as a cotton farmer and started trading at age 24 in 1902. His strategies included geometry, astronomy, astrology, times cycles, and ancient math. Although Gann wrote several books, none of them contain all of his strategies so it takes years of studying to learn them. He was also a devout scholar of the Bible and the
This indicator is an anchored semi-logarithmic scale oscillator. A logarithmic scale is widely used by professional data scientists to more accurately map information collected throughout a timeframe, in the same way that MT5 maps out price data. In fact, the underlying logic of this indicator was freely obtained from an overseas biotech scientist. A log-log chart displays logarithmic values on both the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axes, which generally produces a straight line that points
The Better Daily Range indicator shows the previous trading day's price range on the current day's chart. Many traders mark out the previous day's high, low, and the current day's open before trading. This is not an average true range indicator (ATR). This is not an average daily range indicator (ADR). This is a daily range indicator (DR). This indicator shows horizontal maximum and minimum range lines. If your broker-dealer's MT5 platform shows Sunday bars, Sunday bars are not included as
The Logarithmic Moving Average indicator is a moving average that inverts the formula of an exponential moving average. Many traders are known to use logarithmic charts to analyze the lengths of price swings. The indicator in this post can be used to analyze the logarithmic value of price on a standard time scaled chart. The trader can set the following input parameters: MAPeriod [defaults to: 9] - Set to a higher number for more smoothing of price, or a lower number for faster reversal of the
The volume weighted average price indicator is a line study indicator that shows in the main chart window of MT5. The indicator monitors the typical price and then trading volume used to automatically push the indicator line toward heavily traded prices. These prices are where the most contracts (or lots) have been traded. Then those weighted prices are averaged over a look back period, and the indicator shows the line study at those pushed prices. The indicator in this post allows the trader to
