Ciao Angelo,
Ho cominciato ad interessarmi al trading alla fine del 2017, ho letto molto e da più fonti per farmi un'idea, anche se non ho ancora operato, neanche in demo (ne ho scaricate alcune per capire il funzionamento). Quello che ho capito è che ciò che conta veramente è la posizione degli istituzionali e seguirne i movimenti per quanto permesso dagli HFT e al netto dei trucchi per far perdere i retail. Tramite internet e i canali telegram ho avuto modo di apprezzare le idee e l'operatività di alcuni trader italiani bravi e proprio grazie a quest'ultimi ho capito l'utilità di volume profile, vwap e volume cluster.
A parte questo ciò che mi sta interessando parecchio è la correlazione esistente tra i vari mercati (bond, azioni, valute, commodities) con i flussi di capitali che entrano ed escono come in vasi comunicanti e si distribuiscono tra i vari assets.
In ogni caso penso ci vogliano tantissimo studio e pratica e un anno mi sembra davvero pochissimo, tutto questo per dirti che secondo me non devi scoraggiarti.
P.s. posso chiederti che broker e che piattaforma usi per mettere in pratica la tua strategia? Grazie. Buona giornata

Hi. This seems like a neat forum. I found it from a google search where I was looking to download historical stock data, daily. I was using yahoo, then I was using google. I hadn't been doing analysis for a while, but did notice info in my software was not getting updated, so chose today to see why. It looks like google has been blocking my IP because of automated queries for a couple of months.
In the 80s I traded futures and wrote charting and analysis software to do that. The guy who owned the company was eccentric, would often go on trips, visit trading seminars, and bring back trading systems. Because he thought I had talent, I ended up spending all my time on that. Upon viewing a system I would program something similar, do my charting and analysis at end of day, produce a posture or bias for the following day, then trade all day. I did well trading, but quit that job.
A few years ago, after getting a smartphone and listening to neuroscience and psychology podcasts, I had a sudden interest to do stock trading. The thing that got me was pattern recognition. The brain is excellent at that and doesn't need help. I decided to make a system to view patterns easily, and see what I want easily, then trade based on intuition. The point is to read the news, read a few articles, look at numbers, then let the brain form whatever ideas without rules or structure. This has worked well for what I wanted. When I retire I may spend focused time on it, to do more.
For the last couple of years I've been using just the yahoo finance display on my smartphone. I have a list of symbols sorted alphabetically, with my active symbols listed first. These are all the things I'm interested in. If I sell one making it inactive, I drag it down into the lower area, then choose a new one to make active and drag to the upper area. The point is to always be in the market and never let money sit. I would like to get my system at home so it updates with historical data properly. It's a hobby, but I would also like to start making decisions with it.
I look forward to reading some of the articles on this site and having dialog. Thanks

My name is Dennis and looks like /ES is my kind of instrument ;-)
Currently, I am paper-trading with NinjaTrader but am looking for an affordable broker. Planning to start with 4-8 contracts and dreaming to max out to 100. I guess my 1st stop after here will be brokers review section. But if you have any recommendations for rookies, I'd love to hear them.
I have been reading Brooks' Reading Price Charts. It's been very helpful in understanding technical analysis. What should I be reading after that? I may visit a sub-forum dedicated to this book later.
Any advice you'd like to give to a beginner, I'd gladly welcome!

Hi,
I am fairly new to futures trading having started in Jan'18 fulltime. Previously I traded options but the premium got totally sucked out with low volatility and this made it a more risky trade - felt like I was picking up pennies in front of a steamroller.
Anyway this led me to trading Price Action (Al Brooks style) on /ES and I have been up and down since I started but definitely getting a better read on context (large picture). Now I need to finetune my entries using orderflow tools but it is hard to find info/education on those. Any help on that would be appreciated.
Cheers & happy trading!

Hi !
I started futures trading six month ago and I attended to a complete order book training using XTRADER in a trading arcade located in Paris (KRECHENDO TRADING).
I learned using supports and resistances to place order across various market types.
I'm actually studying trading psychology through books like "Daily Trading Coach" by Brett N. Steenbarger which I find to be an incredibly good mentor.
I also learn from my mentor in Paris who has over 8+ years of experience trading futures; and who possess a mutual fund.
I hope I will be able to help some other beginners through my mentor's experiences and some of the experience I already have on those markets. I mainly trade FDXM and ES instruments trough Trading Technologies' TT web platform.

Hi everyone,
-I'm a new trader in the futures market (previous stock experience only).
-Currently paper trading using TradeStation (click trading).
-I currently work 60-70 hours per week at my current post () as a software developer.
-Love to code but dislike the pressure and hours associated with it.
-I have great interest in automated trading.
-Extremely eager to start trading real money.
-Love challenges and the rewards/lessons accompanied by them.
Very happy I found this forum. (Thanks Big Mike) Lots to learn here and hopefully I can contribute back to the community.
Just found this forum, I wished I had find it earlier. Been through trading worlds from stock market to recent Binary trades, had a bad exeprience with forex and futures trading, now another bad experience with Binary. But mind just can't let go this forex and derivatives trade, deceided to learn it again from beginning. I really hope could have good mentor to learn about this business.
A week ago, tried to trade Binary with Olymp Trade, not satisfied with the result due to lack of technical analysis, start to learn it again. Thinking to play again with futures and forex trade, now I'm learning about technical analysis, hopefully could get tools I'm comfortable with to analyse. I'm living in South East Asia region, futures and forex trading not really common here and hard to find good mentor, mostly so called Guru/Master just selling their books/seminars, not a real trader. Hopefully could find some enlightment in this forum.
