Many research analysts lack the skill of data organization. This blog is dedicated to solve this problem.
Data organization is biggest success point for any field. There are two room, a room where all things are scattered, another room like 5 star hotel, which room you will choose to go?
I have researched and experimented more than 500+ strategies which works on chart. I believe there are more than 10000 working trading methods in a chart. Each works and each fails but they have a meaning if i will share the logic, one cant disagree that this does not work. He will surely see it working as price will react most of the time on the trading system.
When I did not know about data organization or lacked skills about it, I was just doing things randomly which I should never do such as
1. Taking notes on Microsoft Notepad
2. Recording a video using OBS Studio without strategy title and description in video title
3. Saving strategy info in Google Keep or Telegram saved message
4. Saving on Google Doc or Microsoft Word
These are all software which are not used by professionals for data organization
