Weasel here, I have been lurking around for quite some time don't generally post on sites but this one appears to have some respectful people & would like to join in.
I mainly trade mini-nq & sometimes cl. The platform I am using is Trade Navigator it seems to suit me well. I have been trading on & off for some years now as work time allows. Maybe will start a journal as I would like some input on some of my entry signals for the most part they are fine but could be better.
Happy trading...
For the past 2 and a half years I have been interested in day trading. I have researched the internet looking for ideas and strategies and listening to different peoples spills. It is hard to find good information that is trustworthy. It seems more people make money selling fake ideas to people than actually trading in the markets. I started trading a demo account and through this time period and have progressively gotten better each time to the point that I started trading live. Wow what a difference between paper and real money. On top of that you have your emotions playing out that I did not expect would be tough to watch your account go red which I saw before but when it is your money you respond totally different. After my first week of trading I was down but learned many lessons. I have found using a 4 point stop on emini's kept me in the safe zone when trades would go against me but would come back into my favor, I have to place my trade and walk away and hope I made the right decision because watching the ups and downs pulls on my emotions too much, and the most important is that I do not have a good trading plan! I believe my risk to reward is out of proportion and see that learning to read price action is important and doing away with indicators until I can read and feel out the market. That is why I am here to see if I can learn this information from this blog and not have to spend thousands on trading academy's that do not produce but learn from real people that help each other to get better at their dream and that dream is to be a successful day trader!
Hi Big Mike, tnx very much for letting me be part of the family. I hope to learn a lot through everyone connected to the website and increase my trading skills because of it... and hello to all out there!!
pressharp here. Former college professor. PhD from Auburn University, War Eagle. Have traded for five years, bur have never made very much $$ from trading. I trade the Es on Ninja. Have tried many things but none seemed to wrk. I now trade the EMA slope on a 1600 tick chart using 10 minute chart to gauge big picture slope/trend. Looking to get get 8 ticks out of each trade. I will read the threads for suggestions and help. May be able to contribute???
So I've been interested in trading since about 2008. Initially I'll be honest I was motivated by financial reward however as time has progressed and I've learned more about how much of a personal challenge trading is I'm much more motivated by winning the battle against myself, with a healthy desire for a comfortable income from trading.
Like many I started looking at a few books and trying out a few systems trading Forex. I got some education to start with but couldn't make it work as I always had this sense I was missing something and I didn't really understand the market place, I was also dubious about how legitimate the industry was and much preferred the professional and transparent nature of the futures market.
I've had a lot of starts and stops due to my work - I left the military last year and decided to take a much more professional approach to my learning. I found a great educator and have since learned a lot more about the fundamentals of how markets work and what drives them.
Due to work commitments and lack of capitalisation I'm trading Simulated Futures and have an interest in the Crude Market. I've decided to stick to this one market and trade it based of key 4 hour levels using the 15 minute technical entries using volume and market delta.
My long term aspiration is to become a funded Top Step Trader and I'd like to get a much better understanding of macro economic principles. I'm finding balancing my work (Helicopter Pilot) and a young family whilst trying to maintain a professional approach to my trading a challenge however if I can become consistently profitable I'll be proud to achieve that. I'm looking forward to utilising this great resource and learning from you all.
I trade futures and options in Hawaii. I also like to buy high grow stocks and sell out of the money call option against them to collect premium.
I have been doing trading part time for the last twenty years. The progress has been very slow and would like to connect with the like-minded people to become a master trader.
Hi,
Anyone replicated or know what the HyperSnapBack indicator is that is sold by StealthTraders? I would really like to try their indicators out but it cost too much. Is there something free that is essentially the same?
I went to school for engineering, work in the oil & gas industry now doing pipeline maintenance. I'm 29 years old.
I've been playing with TOS for a couple months but now I'm trying to learn NT. So far, I've written a couple simple Indicators based on various moving averages. Trying to get into system/automated trading.
At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how historical price data on CL works in NT. Seems way off compared to TOS and random price data I've dug up via Google. Something to do with contract roll-over and merge policy? I'm still trying to figure it out.
EDIT: I set Merge Policy to MergeNonBackAdjusted and now the prices match up with TOS.
I've been learning to trade using price and volume since more than 1 year, starting to get profit in the last months.
However, I'm eager to learn more in-depth indicators and tools than can improve my operations by getting more knowledge of where the strong hands of the market put more contracts to move or stop the price, so that's why I'm here, and also to help in everything I can given my limited experience
