And now everything is different, even CP[^] looks different.
On top of that I don't have the admin privileges to edit the registry to make some of the things (the context menu above all) be as it was in win 10.

Yeah, you are right.
There is no black outline for the squares and my yellow is almost orange in your pic.
But the CP things look the very similar for me.

Oh Johnny...
Along comes Johnny, and he's like... having a ton of money sure would be swell. I think I'd like a lambo tomorrow. Let me google how to do that. Johnny hears about day trading. Should be easy right? Nobody's ever lost money doing that.
And even though one literally has a professor, tutor, teacher, or at least a book for everything else in life... Johnny doesn't need any of that teaching crap because he Googled how to make that lambo happen. Besides, they cost money, and he's emotional about money and way too cheap for that. I mean he'll argue online with other n00bs, but that's besides the point... lambo baby!
He's told he'll need to do technical analysis for day treading since fundamentals are more important for investing. Sounds legit, then swears by Fibonacci despite having zero clue about the math behind it. Standard deviation in Bollinger Bands? Bring it on. What's statistics again? Tries a ton of fancy indicators, despite not really understanding what is meant by lagging. Loses money.
Does more "research" and find experts claiming to get back to the basics and keep it simple. Bruh, RSI is where it's at. That and price action with some trend trading and you're good to go.
Johnny loads up his account with more money and its go time. At first, Johnny uses his RSI like a good little trader, even though he couldn't tell you what the fudge a sine wave is. He's gonna use it to help spot reversals. Sets it to 30 70 and starts making trades based on it. Loses money.
Now Jonny lies about it so he can seem cool and not-foolish. So, he continues to watch more "experts" online rather than hire a tutor. After digging, some "expert" videos say, "naw dude you need to set that 20 80 to weed out false signals". Johnny can taste that lambo. Except now he loses more money. Real money. Paper trading is for clowns.
Then Johnny searches more things online, while still not paying for his education. Doesn't bother to learn market theory. RSI baby!!! He finds out only plebs use RSI for a reversal though. Nooooooo. The "elite" use RSI to gauge momentum. So, he does some more trades, going with the overbought and oversold rather than against, still loses money.
Says day trading is scam. Still not gonna back test anything and definitely not hire a tutor. I mean, spending money to improve yourself? Wahhh? Quits, upset. Bye bye lambo. Gotta go get a job again.
Jethro in the hizzy...
Then along comes Jethro and he's like. I'm gonna test crap rather than blindly trust people online. Jethro knows most people lose money, so clearly most people don't know what they're doing. Otherwise they'd make money. Jethro takes actual, historic market minute data for a year or three and runs simulations. Jethro finds out, the experts were wrong when going counter to the reversal using the RSI (over time), for the minute data at least. Does another test for different years and finds out they're right. Concludes nobody knows what the fudge is going on.
Huh?
Point of the story is, all the "experts" you see online don't even back test the crap they regurgitate and most have no idea of what they're talking about. There's a thing called confirmation bias that people develop, just because something may have worked for them once or twice in a very specific scenario. Also, people lie a lot and need clicks and views.
And let's not even talk about the data a retail trader doesn't get (it's not cheap) or the fact there is active manipulation going on in most markets.
And yet, people still believe "experts" online without seeing a P&L, because they did an almighty Google search... for free.
Edit: Trading is great btw, but most people do lose money and play a fool's game with it. Don't be like Johnny.

Wow, did you or someone close get burned by a shyster?
Even backtesting is dubious. It might be worth looking at if it goes back decades, maybe even 50 years. Even then, it's unclear why a pattern that occurred in the past should repeat. There are simply too many variables. Most of it is little different than numerology.

Even lost money due to my own stupidity over the years. It's called tuition. Everyone goes through it, if they're being honest.

However, best to figure out the common denominator here... which is patterns. Forget trying to make hieroglyphics out of a chart. It's subjective anyway. Learn market theory (it's a real thing) and risk management, then back test that.
* Note, OTA has some advanced things with decent-ish information. Their beginner/intro/sales pitch stuff, to get to you to buy into the more expensive stuff, is a sham though.

The best advice I ever heard--too late--was, "Don't confuse a bull market with brains." I managed to retire rather young because of some contrarian investments and thought I'd figured it all out. I almost ended up going back to work.
Puts for insurance are insanely cheap right now (VIX < 15). Spitznagel's The Dao of Capital is a good read for risk management, but you have to fill in a few details. He runs a hedge fund to protect against tail risk, so he doesn't quite give it all away.

Figured it's better to specialize in an area that works for you rather than spread myself too thin and become susceptible to the nonsense because I'm no longer an expert in any one thing.
I'm into Forex btw, which is like equities, but for a country... the country's equity... currency. Some people hate Forex, and I get it... because it's the wild west with way more scams than stocks IMO. And, because its distributed and has no "real" good volume information, but I love it because it's extremely, extremely liquid (slippage is rare) and shorting isn't a big deal like in the stock market. Like, no such thing as a broker refusing to lend out low cap shares for a short... it's all money exchange. But, that's my bias.
Still love hearing about options traders that do well. It's interesting.

I've read so many books on the subject, I have no idea where I learned my risk management strategy from. But, it's close to a percent equity model, except I use a realized balance rather than equity to determine risk. And handling the downside, don't have a name for that.

The short meaning is: You sell the options to the people betting.
It is way slower, but if you do it correctly, it is pretty constant.
In the US way easier to use than in EU. Here the available options are mostly crappy and the local brokers suck or are way expensive. The only one useful for it is IBRK.
I went for stocks a couple of years ago, and my current balance sadly is dark red (around -15k, dunno for sure). But... and this is the only thing I really hope all Johnnies get told and kind of hear it.
- You are a little fish trying to get through a sea of big sharks. The market is a fvcking casino. Most of the time, there is no real logic behind it and you can only bet. There is no secure bet AT ALL. Only use money you don't need for living. Start with little and increase only in small steps, leave emotions outside, think fast, decide slow and act inmediatelly.
I am sitting now in many of my stocks, but:
- I never go for big risk. I imposed myself the limit of 3k cash in a single company, only broke that rule one time with 3,35k because I had a typo when calculating the number of stocks to buy.
- I knew that some of them could go south when I bought them. As they are startups, but I believe in their product and I think there still isn't everything lost. If it kicks, I will be there from penny stocks. If not, well... I knew it was a bet and I can afford losing that amount.
- I am pretty sure, than at least the half will be back in green sooner or later, because they are big companies. My problem was I bought in the bull market in the second half of 2021 and couldn't react in the market correction of the beginning of 2022 because I was offline for some weeks due to illness. As many say, time in the market usually beats timing the market. As I do not need the money invested in them, I'll just wait patiently to recover its value (plus inflation) and sell them when reaching black or light green.
- I got fvcked with a couple of companies explosions (i.e. Wirecard). As I said before, there is no 100% security.
- When I buy a set of stocks and they get a big bull push, I try to not be greedy and usually sell some of them to recover the investment. This way what happens later doesn't affects me anymore. I.e. I bought in the Meme Gamestop, sold a couple of stocks when one of the pikes and recovered my money. When I sold they were below my entry point, but they were "free stocks" as I had already recovered my original investment.
Some people said me... I should sell everything and recover at least those couple of hundreds that are still there. But I say, I really believe some of them will recover and, on the other side, those red numbers are the best teacher I will ever have in this topic and a really important reminder of what I wrote above these lines.
And in the overall: I started in 2018 I am in green in the big total, not much (less than 2k), but still green.
