15 years of Self learning in Excel. No formal training done. If you have a requirement (the What part) and the Energy (Motivation), it is actually speaking very simple ( I am not exaggerating). Today with Internet everything is available in the internet.
My boost or energy came from the motivation that I was NOT able to find a single tool in the market which does the magic. I am trying to trade from 2009 onwards. So far not succeeded. So If I develop my own tool and If I fail I don't have to blame at least somebody else . Actually most of the time I failed or lost money because I follow my own intuition rather than following what the tool says. If I blindly follow the tool, I will surely succeed but then for that I need to Master my mind. So Trading is 90% a mental game.
Of course you also need to have "Hacker mindset". For example the most difficult part of the tool was downloadin the data from Google. And recently the data Futures data downloaded from NSEIndia site.
My recent challenge is howto get the VWAP from the NSEindia site so that the OTP Tool can improved.
