If you have an algorithmic edge, eventually it will stop working. If it's a really good one, your trades become someone else's edge. The market is constantly changing and active traders are constantly looking at what's going on and trying to take advantage. The more I looked into trading, the more it was just a sea of "Use these charts", "don't really trust these charts", and "once you lose a ton of money, you'll get a feel for things"
