I'm a military spouse and, after our last move, also a stay at home mom. I want a way to contribute to the family income. I am a quick learner, so I hope that will apply to trading as well. It would be nice to have a way to bring in a little extra money and not have to worry when we are told it's time to pack up and move again. And I can do it while the kids are at school and then still be available when they get home. My only problem right now is that we are on the west coast, so it's almost two hours into the trading day before I have them off to school and can sit down to the computer to work on this. I actually found this forum because I had searched futures trading journals, I have been told to be sure to journal everything I do, even as I am in the simulation, but I was wondering what the most important basics are that should be in the journal. I figure, start with the basics, what is most important, and as I grow and develop as a trader I will begin to see what else would be beneficial to track. Look forward to interacting with everyone and learning and sharing.

Hello all you helpful folk.

I am and Irish man living here in the other Sunshine state (Queensland, Australia). I am an engineer, who has for most of my career worked in oil and gas and mining, but more recently have left that behind to start up our own business.

This is my first foray into futures and I must say this forum rocks. I haven't asked any questions yet as somebody seems to have already asked most of what I was seeking to know. The recorded webinars are also a godsend.

A few life changing events (including a broken neck believe it or not), have me and my wife really changing things around in our lives and I hope developing the skill to trade futures effectively will allow us to bring some of our plans to fruition.

I have been actively trading for years, including trading an automatic EOD set up on the S&P 500 stocks. However, I have always been nervous about futures, mainly because I knew very little about them... but I am beginning to get my head around them now, thanks to you all. My auto trading stock set up only gets signals about 30% of the time so I am looking to supplement this with some futures trading, starting small and seeing where we go from there.

I plan to start with the Mini Dax with discretionary trades based on price action (which is something I have always had an interest in), and after the last few weeks testing platforms I plan to go live sometime next week (once a separate broker account has been confirmed). I will post my trades.

Talk soon

Jon

Hello All. I just started trading CL futures from last couple of months. I was introduced to CL futures trading using Interactive Brokers by one of my professors. I have a full time job and this is just something I want to try on the side.

Things were good in simulated trading. But with the real trading, I made some money and lost it all. Atleast my principle is still intact This loss made me search for help and stumbled upon this forum. I dont feel very bad about myself after reading some of the posts here. I am doing the same mistakes that others have done in the past. There is a lot of good advice and strategies here. Hoping to assimilate them and develop my trading skills.

Hello to all the noble souls out here to help each other.

This is Rajesh and I am based in New Delhi, India.

I have been actively investing or using swing trading methods over the past 3 years. Have had modest success thus far, and am looking to play a more active role in trading. Currently, I dabble in index stocks and initial experience on futures and options has been a fearful one.

I hope I would be able to make the most of knowledge on offer here, as I contemplate very very intensely whether or not to go for elite membership circle.

Thanks for reading and best of luck in your trading or investing journey through a beautiful life.

My first week of membership has only reinforced what a good decision it was to join:
Thanks are owed to Big Mike for quickly fixing an error in my login (of my own doing) - much appreciated!
The Futures Option area drew me in from the first time I browsed through, and I felt immediate comfort in finding others here who trade by the ideas expressed in Cordier - and are willing to post about it.
My search for a suitable broker ended Thursday night after reading about DeCarly. Just as the post expressed - my email was answered by Carly herself in under an hour. Amazing.
I like to position trade by selling premium - vertical spreads, strangles, naked calls / puts, and now I'm learning about ratio back spreads. I tried day trading and learned a lot about markets and myself. For those who are successful at it, my hat's off to you. Looking forward to contributing when I can.

Good Trading!

Mike

Cheers,

Just wanted to say hi,

I am trading futures since last June with some mixed results, after having a loosing first year, surprise,surprise, things are looking up much better this year due to mostly newly acquired money management skills. I have a full-time job that I like with good pay and very good benefits; trading futures is just a "hobby" for me for now, my reasons of learning a new skill is to be able to continue this when I retire, make it profitable in the mean time, to turn this"hobby" into a income stream by retirement time...
I joined this forum to expand my horizon, find some answers to my questions, learn and try new techniques, and educate myself.
