For quick reference, scalping is in like 15-min charts; typical day traders do around 30-60 min charts; swing traders do daily charts; positional traders focus on weekly charts; and trend traders do monthly charts.

I am curious which style of trading you find yourself drawn to.

Your experience probably makes you focus on one or two particular styles over others.

What did you notice about the selection of these timeframes while designing your system? Perhaps subconsciously?

Typing this to articulate some of my thoughts.

Supply-driven markets are said to move the price action more violently than demand-driven ones. When the supply of a stock is increased or promoters sell deliberately and rumors of further damage swirl, the trend shoots down.

This makes the supply-driven markets more volatile with wider channels, making profit targets bigger. The crux of this is that the two most important aspects of trading - liquidity and volatility - are housed by supply-driven incentives. No less than implying that discretionary, not systematic, trading matters more often than not, fortunately or unfortunately.

Anyway, I also think this has a first-order relation to the absorption of orders by market makers. Supply-driven momentum moves price action despite the conditions of market depth. For example, increasing (open) sell orders can still drive prices up by supply-driven absorption.

I'm looking for what you think. Here for more opinions/criticism of what I said. And do you have a method for judging supply-driven predictions, analyzing market depth, or both?

I mean if it's your favorite one, I bet you'd have saved it. Generally interested to see if folks even have favorite reels.

Asking in this sub because I'm still not sure if people are emotionally connected to or nostalgic for any short-form content.

I know a few basics of related physics concepts. But I can't get my head around the applications; not even at the slightest. Is it really going to boom like AI?

I'm thinking the market at the moment is way too 'developed' in a sense that only smart money handlers can leverage. It feels like each and every one of my trades is somehow 'washed off.' Am I the only one who feels that retail traders are being targeted? Or am I just feeling this way because of how early I am in the trading game?

I'm not talking about any specific market instruments in general, but only those who have the means. In the long term, over-maturation can make humans meaningless. That just implies that wealth distribution will be more skewed toward the already privileged.

I think this is one of the most gradual changes that I just feel in my bones, even without any statistical evidence about retail vs. institutional gains. So I'm curious what you think. Algo/systematic trading is an obvious fast lane to achieving maturity. Again, since intelligence is getting easier to outsource, I'm even more skeptical.

Edit:

In trading, 'washed off' is when the market is deliberately hitting stop losses to let you exit your positions. Now, I find that this happens to me as a decently experienced trader. With experience, a few may assume that I or someone could beat the market with discipline. However, washing off is washing off, no matter if it's small or big. Fortunately, I define my stakes with stop losses. Still, because it's happening more than I imagined, it's bothering me. Imagine how amateurs may feel when they enter the market.
