Lack of viable and useful information isn't a problem, finding it in a mess of Internet is. Especially for a newcomer like myself. For example, now thanks to you I know a couple of threads and a person (Tim Wilcox) to look after. So it basically equals to me reading a book like I mentioned earlier. But where and how should I "learn how to observe, how to formulate and test a hypothesis, how to maintain records of observations and tests, how to assemble all of that into a consistently-profitable trading plan"? It seems like a complicated task that's not solved by mere reading books and forums. So, what next step would you advice?
It has nothing to do with books. It has to do with studying the market. Not what somebody says or writes about the market but rather the market itself. Today one can get for free what twenty years ago cost a small fortune: real-time streaming charts, investing.com, for one. Bring up a chart of whatever it is you're interested in. Look at the context: the weekly chart over a period of years, the daily charts over a period of months or weeks, the hourly chart over a period of days. Then load a 1m chart and just watch how and where and when price moves.
The attached may be helpful.
Or you can spend $12000 on a course that will tell you more or less the same thing but probably won't tell you how to trade in any timeframe other than hindsight.
