It's great to find a community of traders at all different levels of development with diverse approaches and methodologies.

I use Market/Volume Profile to analyze volume nodes and also good old standard charting for daytradng primarily ES..

I trade interday swings vs. scalping. I overtrade if I try to scalp so I conscentrate on getting good trade location and also identifying where the other guy is wrong so the market will (hopefully) go for the paper (stops) to facilitate trade - where is the other guy wrong..those are my targets along wth the nodes...

I have done a lot of trading system design and backtesting over the years. I started in 1980 and have many war stories..I have been a casualty also..

For me it is difficult to have a rigid rule based system.. I am a discretionary trader and I identify "areas of interest" and wait for the market to go to them and then decide whether to do business when it gets there...

I initially worked with market profile in 1984ish with Pete Stedilmier and couldn't make it work for me and abandoned it..this was when it was just timebased TPO's..Now that there is volume it has functional value for me...

Years I ago I traded SnP 2-3 day swings..had to back then in the mid 80's a 30pt move in the Dow was a big day..

I still have issues that I have not resolved... Money management..scaling out, adding positions back on rotations, etc.

Also, I am typically late on entries.. I am shy when it comes to standing in front of the train so I can be 1pt late and that really messes up my risk mgmt and ability to scale...seems I can't slice the onion fine enough...

I use a 233 tick chart for my entry..

I hope to meet you here and appreciate the opportunity to share and learn...

May the Trade be With You,

Tom

Like everything in trading, at least for me, there is no black & white but often shades of gray.

Hi Big Mike,

Thanks for giving us this forum. I am a trader and business owner. Started trading so I could diversify my income. Didn't realize that meant I would lose so much money before I figured out how to make money. Seems for me the key has been understanding emotion and the fundamental role it plays in trade decisions. That will probably be a theme in many of my posts. Also have been in many rooms and finally now putting it together now that I am in JPJ trading room, or is it JP trading room? The guys name is JP and he is a hoot.

I recommend coaching. Think about it. Any sport, we have coaches. Trading is no different. I found much help with Denise Shull and also with Andrew Menaker. My trading has started to become profitable. I still have blow ups and lose, as is the case this week, 4 days of positive trading and one day of really bad trading, but that is the start of a turn around. Finally. It is due to coaching. I have traded for 1.5 years and have been in a few rooms and taken lots of "expert" seminars. The one thing that is making the biggest difference is the coaching. I recommend before have another losing day, go to Denise or Andrew's site and request a coaching quote. Think about it. If you can spend a few hundred bucks on coaching and as a result have a one profitable day, it would be worth it for that day, but really, what I think you will gain is the ability to understand something that no indicator or "expert" can give you. You have to learn to read yourself.

I am day trader based in Bangalore and also try to mentor and help traders in the Indian stock markets through my contributions on my webite.

Am always in the search for new knowledge and different ways of doing what is routine.

I contribute back to the trading community through my site with my ideas on well known and published approaches and will try to post some of those ideas which may have a larger appeal here.
