First, this is all new to me.. 100%. I understand a little about a lot. My knowledge base was pretty close to zero. Like anything or anyone when you try someing new, like: algo trading, or buying, or pattern trades, or day trades, etc. You have a learning curve.. It can be frustrating as hell.
I have two simple principles in life.
1. If you "stand on the shoulders of those who came before you" that means that this is not new to someone else. I am new to this. Listen, learn, back test, apply your own knowledge. But mostly LISTEN. Also, shut up, show up and wear biege. If you don't know what that means then try this:: keep your eyes open and your mouth shut. (watch the Godfather 1)
2. If you never try something, you can never fail And for me? I'd rather be a failure than a quitter.
That aside, I attended a wealth lab webinar ---these three guys (I call the "illuminati 3") don't charge for that, or their time. I am still thinking that it's fun for them and they get more youtube followers, but hey, with under 20 participants, I think they really like this. And 20 more followers is nadda, really. Yes, I taught social networkiing for business in its infancy - and 20 more followers is nothing, this I do know.
Oddly, my own backtesting out smarted the "illuminati 3" this week; but I would still trust them before my own backtesting. Why? They have experience.
.
"The illuminati", --- these guys are not giving us financial advice. They are not advisors. But NEVER think you know it all until you have more knowledge and more experience.
So, take advice from someone who spent years in higher educattion and a professor of Business Technology -- (not this kind of bus tech and not the stock market); and years raising and educating a child who became a highly successful adult at 22 year old. Listen and read carefully.
To do this right. Listen to the people around you.. You are new. You don't have instincts. Your backtests are valid, but not a guarantee. And don't jump wildly.
Never mistake knowing a little about a lot as knowing a lot about a few specific things.
And read. Read. Read,. Make notes.
Be methodical. And if you have good code, my recommendation is to take it thru a.i. like chat gpt and ask for parameter changes if you don't know how. Apply them in a new strategy keeping the old one intact. Test. Test, Back Test.
Gordon Gekko was never right. If you don't know him. Learn and google him and Bud Fox;------ movies written with easter eggs (google easter eggs - and no, there is no bunny) like the last name "gekko or fox" really teach us.

The Firefox browser has a built in spelling checker.
I've been "trading" (with WL) for 7 years, and I'm still learning new things. If I had it to do over again, I should have picked up a really good book on trading early in the process. Live and learn. It's been an interesting ride.
Firefox. Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again!!!!
We are becoming familiar (21 years later) with each other on my Linux mint machine. Yes, I finally took the plunge. This summer I have channeled my inner 16 year old boy and thought I was cool. I have Linux. :)
Still respectable, in its own time, and now..
But Google? Formerly known as backrub? It had me at hello. :)
Good tip. Good nastalgia.

I think every modern browser has a built-in spell check. Certainly, Edge does, which is what I'm using, and use its auto-correct often in these posts. It even corrects for grammar.
