I am 52 and semi-retired. I gave up the rat race over a year ago. I decided I wanted a better quality of life
and that I wanted to follow my dreams before I got too old.
I manage a small local newspaper in South Africa with my partner on the edge of our largest game reserve, “The Kruger National Park”. I live about 200 meters from the KNP fence and see wildlife almost on a daily basis. What a privilege!
I want to supplement my very meagre income and follow my dreams with the job of trading.

I am a novice trader with about 14 months of experience.
Like most new traders I have not had much success but I am determined to change that.
I believe it’s a very difficult and unique skill that can be learned. I want to learn that skill.
This forum is the right type of place to learn about, develop and hone that skill.

In the couple of times I have visited this forum I have learned things.
Thanks to everyone for their input and sharing.

Thanks Big Mike!

I trade eminis and options on TradeStation. I could use some help with my Auto trading.
I use a MovAvg Cross LE & SE no LX/EX Strategy Automated with % Trailing true 50/10 and get GREAT back-testing results, +80% Profitable & Profit Factor +2.5, but run on the simulator the results are not good??? I believe it is in the % Trailing settings? Any suggestions

Hello @Plasticman6. It is extraordinarily difficult to carry backtested results forward. The quality of backtests, due to database inefficiencies and errors in rule based logic, can generate many, many false positive returns. I encourage you to forward test the strategy and run it in simulation for an extended period before attempting to run this, or any, strategy live in production.

Best of luck-

Patrick

Hi Everyone,

I have started trading futures for about a month now under a mentor. My main focus is the ES. Right now my main objective is just getting in lots of screen time and practice.

Thanks,

Phil

Screentime and practise are invaluable. Good luck @philipvitale

Hello guys...
I am a trader pro since 20 years by now, I have start 25 years ago with stock options , forex and futures.
I do think that indicators are useless until you start to know yourself...
And money management is the key of success, you cannot trade in the same way the future market or forex with the same amount of capital.
Cheers

I started trading a year back, i trade in india. i use futures and options combined to hedge and to take advantage of special situations and make some buck. i am a part time trader. i use 5 min charts. i don't use indicators. i also use the market data and test several strategies by using R and python. I have found that indicators just indicate, trading basing on them is very dangerous, Its all in the context of where we are in the market.

my motivation for trading: is there anything more interesting than trading?? i love trading and love it to the core. i can trade all the day everyday. After a lot of soul searching i found trading and my target in life is to become a great trader thats it. Right now in rat race and very soon (< 1 year) quitting it.

my setup: a system with a candle chart interval 5min, 15min, 60 min, daily. i look for breakout and resistance.

my fav books: market micro structure by larry harris.

Hello Everyone,
Glad to be part of community. I was trading for quiet long time mainly Stocks and Options.
Recently decided to get into trading futures.
I'm only focusing on CL at this point. Trying to be proficient in one set up for one security before making next move.
Appreciate everyone feedback.
Best,
Alex
