Hi Mike

Have been working in the financial industry in areas like research and fund management for almost twenty years. Want to change my way of living (more freedom, less administrative work). Trading could be the way of doing it although I know it isn't trivial. That's why I am in the early stage of this journey. I hope to become more interactive in this forum in the future.

Regards
Chris

Hi everyone!

Like most day traders, I blew up my account a couple times and lost enough money to make most grown men weep. After I regrouped I started trading with common sense and with control of my emotions.

Later, I decided I wanted a forum to share my ideas as well as learn from others. I created my blog on April 17th, 2009 in order to meet this goal, as well as hold myself accountable for my trades and actions. I wanted a way to be able to lookback and ensure I was following my own advice.

The blog introduced me to a lot of fellow traders, some struggling, some doing exceptionally well. Talking with them everyday has really helped my trading and given me a lot of new ideas as well. In turn, I hope that I have provided them something useful that helps in their trading.

Since the blog did very well I decided to create this forum, and it was born June 11th, 2009. The forum was designed with the specific goal of having a small community of traders focused on making money. There are other sites out there but I never really felt at home with many of them, their userbase is too focused on proving someone wrong instead of trying to help.

You can find some more information about me in my profile.

Hello,

my name is gis and I trade mostly options and sometimes shares in combination with options.
Have been doing this for almost 10 years now and I am using astrology, Gann and everything
else that works.

Currently I trade mostly Silver (SLV and PSLV) trying to keep the trade Delta positive, but selling
up to 8 times more call options than I have shares, but they are all out of the money or far out of the money.

best, gis

hello everyone,

My names josh, I'm a 21 y/o with interest in the financial markets. I've been trading high risk, catalyst based stocks in the technology and biotechnology sectors for about 3 months. i haven't lost any money yet, however there are unrealized capital loses. Still got lots of hope however! In the future, I'm looking to move into options trading for the same sectors, then beginning my move into forex trading with capital gains from my current positions.

we'll see how this goes

peace

Dear trader peers,
Trading a variety of instruments since 2005 going from futures to forex.
Full time trader (retired) since 2009.
Now focussing exclusively on ES futures; and studying the stats mainly on volume/price.
Besides an emini junkie I'm really enjoying the Rancho Dinero style, concepts and approach.
Wish to interact on the volume price subjects (ES futures, Ninja 7 based)
A tr�s bient�t,
Max

Merry Christmas all,
Just signed in today,...been trading full time for quite awhile, moved into EL code writing and auto strategy implementation,...looking to get housed on speedy servers I heard from here.
Had to stop trading for personal reasons, divorce, move, etc,.....so I am rebuilding my life and hopefully in the next few months or so will be back in full swing.
Divorce can rob your account faster than a few bad trades.

I still pull a discretionary trade or 2 from time to time, but with the headline driven, non participatory, low volume, GS stop grabbing environment we find ourselves, in, I'm on the sidelines UNLESS an "A" trade happens.
I trade futures / options mostly on TS and TOS, 3 accts.
I saw that Corey Rosenbloom will be hosting a seminar here on Jan 9th.
I highly suggest you tune in. He was my coach for about a year, and I met him in Texas a couple years ago.
He is by far one of the all time great chartists of our time, and an all around great guy.
And Corey, if you're ever reading this,....thank you for all your help, you changed the way I trade forever, I did find my "chi",.....
