Hello fellow traders and aspiring to be. I am from a village in Ohio... yes a village 27 years old, 2 adorable baby girls and a loving wife... that puts up with more than she probably should, but we have been together for 10 years now, so I suppose she knows what shes in for Long story short, I transitioned out of the Army in 2013 after my 4 year enlistment and tour to Germany/Afghanaland then finished it out at Ft Bragg NC. Fun times - great memories and some not so great memories but life none the less. After leaving I moved back to good ole Ohio and worked at Siemens for a year or so until they downsized and I was left without a job. My stepmother and myself went to a stock trading seminar and ever since then it has been nose to the grind stone... Bloodshot eyes / Sleepless nights... literally and studying my ass off. I absolutely love watching price and finding what is significant and on what timeframe is in control. As much money as I have lost in the markets... most people would probably quit by now, but I know what the market is capable of giving and also taking away if one is not dedicated to discipline and following your rules you set for yourself and your system. I am not yet profitable in my trading but I feel I am close and can almost taste it. I have learned so much about myself since trading in the markets. One of my many issues that I face is OVERTRADING lol im sure there are many of us. I find what I think is significant on the higher timeframes and then zoom in to lower timeframes such as a 5 min or 1600 tik chart and it is like it puts you into a trance and you forget about where you are on the higher time frames. What I have been doing lately is finding levels on the 2hr 4 hr time frame and using the 30 min and 15 min to see if the areas I am looking at have already been tested. Patience and letting a trade come to me I think is my golden ticket. I am so excited to finally get it and understand my personality when it comes to trading and only trade when and where I want to in the price action. Plan it then trade it. I know what I want to do ... I just have to do it!!! I feel I over analyze often and that leads to overtrading or not taking a trade at all... because I am not sure if price will react where I think it should or have been burnt in the past and it sticks in the back of my head. These are some of the issues I face. I apologize for rambling on but it does feel great to get all this off my chest and out of my brain. I look forward to talking with you and would love to see some feedback. Have a great night/weekend. Talk to you soon! ... I guess I didn't make my long story short

Over trading, the desire to be the market all the time, is lethal. Find your plan and stick with it. If you have a itch to try something else out, get that trade into a simulated or delayed environment to prove its worth. Keep the curiosity trade out of production.

Venting your thoughts and frustrations is healthy and welcome!

Thanks for having me. I'm 63 years old and bored out of my mind running a car dealership. The money is great but the time away from home and family is starting to wear thin. I had been a broker many years ago so I am still in love with the markets. I have lossed and gained but until now have never given much thought to trade for a living. For the last month I have read and watched videos about trading futures and when I was looking for reviews of a trading course I stumbled across this site. I like what I have seen so far and am eager to ease myself into futures trading....with a little help from my friends.

Hello,

I explored futures trading about 3 years ago. I took the advice to practice on the sim or a live demo feed for a few weeks realizing I couldn't consistently come out ahead and couldn't put in the real time I needed. This year I have a plan to learn more about automating strategies to drive in the emotionless discipline that trading effectively needs. My goal is to figure out how do develop strategies, how to evolve strategies and start trading real money later this summer if I hit the milestones I want. I figure I might start with European market futures so I can play in the morning before work. Eventual goal is to migrate to full-time if I can pull it off.

Currently using NinjaTrader7/8. Brushing off my old coding skills with some indicator and strategy development.

-J

Hi all,

Like many of us, as a beginner I was enamored with the possibility of a holy grail indicator combination. This cost me a lot of money.

Now I'm focusing on wising up, improving my order flow/tape reading skills and learning from/contributing to others as I develop.

Glad to be on board.

Best,

GT

Hello!

My name is Francesco,
I'm an engineer and I love caving.

I eventually got into futures.io I'm trying to learn and improve my trading skills, since I'm going to trade with more attention in the future (I've blown off an account implementing the wrong, emotional, strategies).
I'm spending some months to prepare myself for a second chance and hope to take advantage of your contributes and to give mine to the forum.

Thank you,
happy trading!

Hi,

I have been actively trading for the last 10 years with mediocre success. Previously used Tradestation but in the past week moved to NinjaTrader. I like what I see so far. Many of the threads I was reading on NT lead me to this site. Looking forward to participating in the discussions and becoming a better trader.
