Hi Everyone,

I've been in Capital markets for nearly 17 years. I worked for one of the largest banks for over 13 years in Capital Markets. I started my own investment company in 2012. I've been a student of the markets for decades.

The number 1 lesson I could impart on anyone no matter your trading style, is Risk Management. If you can Perfect your ability to control your losses, you will be successful.

My twitter feed: twitter.com/mandeeptoronto
Occasionally i'll post a trade, my thoughts regarding Central Banks (the hand holding the markets), or Canadian/USA politics.

Leo,



My trading style is to scalp the markets using the Depth of Market (DOM) / Price Ladder. Jigsaw provides a standalone system (daytradr) or as a Jigsaw DOM add-in to other Trading apps (e.g. Ninja). I suggest you take a look at Jigsaw's website https://www.jigsawtrading.com/ for more information.



As a new trader you need to take ownership of your full end to end trading process. From the broker you use, the tools you use (e.g. Charts/Indicators, Market Profile, Price Ladders / DOM etc), trading style (e.g. scalper vs swing etc), products and timezones. At the beginning it's best you study only one or two markets - to get to understand the ebb flow of the market and it's nuances throughout the day's trading.



For after hours trading in the US. The ES Globex trades differently to the ES Pit session. It's best you choose a product that trades nicely during the Eastern session and study that market before you switch to live trading. I don't trade the Eastern session but trade the UK Open for Eurex products (e.g. Eurostoxx).



Just take one step at a time and be patient with pulling your trading process together.



James

Hi guys,
I am still new, my trading is based on price and volume, in scalping timeframe of 1min, looking for the tests in volume peaks. I am interested in learning systemic / algorithmic trading, where here I hope to learn a lot.
Thanks for your contributions to the forum!
regards

Hi Everyone,

I have been learning about trading the last 5 years. However, I wasn't in a financial position to risk money until this year. Once I realized that I have a passion for trading, seeing patterns and a lot of self discipline I started shifting my entire life around just to get to the point of having no debt and a saved pool of money to start my trading. I opened my live account a few weeks ago so I can enjoy the live data steam on Tradingview. I haven't traded the account yet as I am still testing out my system. In several weeks, once I am crystal clear that I know my system inside and out and the best market conditions for it, I plan to start trading live. I am sure some people may understand that even though I haven't made any money trading yet the fact that I can participate without having the burden of "need" around trading is the biggest accomplishment I have achieved so far. I am so grateful to even be able to trade at this point. It's been a long journey to get here and I am looking forward to the next phase.

I have been a member of futures.io for almost a year now but haven't introduced myself. I felt I wasn't ready to participate in a community yet but now I feel it is the right time to start sharing my knowledge, learn more from others and hopefully help others from what I have learned.

Cheers!
April

Hello everybody.
I have been trading on-and-off for a while now, both futures (I have completed Amplify Trading's course) and spot forex, without much success. I am still learning and I hope to crack this game one day.

Question: for the ones who are familiar with CQG's charts, they have a few different continuation modes (rolling at contract expiration, rolling at volume traded, closing price equalization) each giving slightly different prices, especially closer to the present time.

That will pose a bit of an issue, when trading today on levels established a few years back. Can you please clear this up for me, as I think it would be nice to trade off levels everybody else looks at, as opposed to levels that only I think they are significant. This is where Amplify's training fell short, unfortunately.

Thank you

Hello,

I had a similar issue when I moved from spot forex to futures. I could not get the roll over of the contracts to do so in a way that made levels work. I ended up loading data fir each contract backtesting tgat then loading the next contract. I think this is what you were saying?

Hi all,

been on the forum for about 2 years, lurking around soaking knowledge.. I hail from Australia and currently living in Dubai / UAE. Mostly interested in futures and options on futures / equities.

Using Ninjatrader for charting and have been using different setups based on harmonic trading.

In fact I was so interested in it, I have brushed up on my programming and ported mkHarmonics indicator from NT7 to NT8 if anyone is interested in it.

good luck to you all, and look forward to learning more.
