How do you find an edge as a beginner?

An edge is a repeatable reason why your trades should make more than they lose — not a magic indicator, but a specific setup with positive expectancy over many trades.

Experienced members: how did you find yours? Beginners: how are you searching?

• where you looked (and where you wasted time)
• how many trades it took to trust a setup
• how you tested before risking money

The expectancy guide gives the maths for judging any setup.
