I've been trading futures for less than a year. I decided to give it a try after beating my head against the wall repeatedly on equities and, especially, trying to sell premium. I like the liquidity and leverage of the /ES and /NQ products. I recently completed a market profile five week intensive with Jim Dalton, which was a terrific experience.
It's a funny thing - I grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota, where we raised corn, soybeans, hogs and chickens. My dad hedged all the time on the Board of Trade. Unfortunately, he also had a taste for speculation, and lost gobs of money in the process. Looking back on that, how could he have possibly won, placing phone orders on a party-line during the lunch hour. The spreads had to have been wide as the Mississippi river. I sometimes wonder how he would have done with today's market access and tools. He was a smart man, and at least the odds wouldn't have been stacked so high against him.
I am delighted to have discovered this site. It's especially fascinating to see members from so many different places, here in the US and around the world.
At this point I am looking to migrate some of my capital from TD Ameritrade to a futures-oriented brokerage.I've been making do with the monkey bars market profile tools on TOS, but I'm looking for something more robust.
I look forward to learning as much as I can here, and to contributing what I can in the future.
First researched about the markets when I was 23 and my roommate introduced me to it. It was weird hearing the word "Bullish" and thought it sounded strange. I've been self-taught with a few FB groups here and there. Just got into Futures trading about 2yrs ago. I'm almost over a huge learning curve with a trading formula attached to positive expectancy. Just need screen time and discipline. Came here to check out other's charts and codes for personalized indicators. Those are my favs. Hope to contribute as we all grow, ever the students.
Hey guys, I'm a 26 year old engineer who quit his job to learn how to trade. I took a trading course in my city and have been trading cfds for 4 months and will now be making the move to futures. I'm gonna start by only trading crude oil and will give it my all till I start making profits or go back to work, once my savings run out lol and trade part time till I become profitable.
My name is Mark and have been trading for the past 10 years or so but with little success. I have just recently become an elite member here in hopes to learn to develop my own way to trade profitably.
I am a chef and would really like to get out of the kitchen and hoping trading could be my way to a new career.
I do not take this lightly and am willing to give it all I have.
I have tried to use this but every time I click to open something I get a restricted access notification. Seems to me you're out to make money, not help.
I've been trading (futures) for a long time usualy equity indices and gold. Because I have a background in monetary economics one can understand since 1971 when the US went off the Gold Reserve Standard, the situation turned a lot of markets and I became an institutional bear, doing better in bear markets and terrible in bull markets. That bias has cost me.
Thus I am always ready to learn.
hi calgera1 - there are some threads which are restricted to those users who are subscribed to the premium access (Elite members).
Currently as a non-premium user you should have access to the vast majority of the threads though. See screenshot
As you can see Elite-related content down at the bottom represents only a portion of content. Webinars and usually indicators I think are also part of the premium access but everything else is free.
So if you are trying to read something you should have no problem with most access.
Some threads or actions require that you post more than x number of entries before you can contribute to the thread (also be careful not to post junk just to boost up your post count as you may get banned), so it's a matter of finding something where you can either contribute or ask questions if you want to post. Otherwise you should be good to go.
