Hi everybody,
I began trading almost 4 years ago. I blew out my accounts a couple times and began trading very small.
After that I approached to breakeven.
I trade only Forex and mainly usd\cad.
Hope to meet good traders who can share their experience of transitioning from breakeven to profitable trader.

Good luck to all,
Murat

I have been trading for about a year and when i started was amazed at how easily I could make money. I seemed to always remember the winning trades while discounting the losing ones as mistakes, bad luck, hit the wrong button. I have lost thousands and am now coming to the realization that i need to curb my trading, only enter a trade that has several good reasons, and to calculate my wins, loses everyday and not act as if the trading platform is a video game. I have had to winning days in a row, and after the weekend hope to make it 3 on monday. I just came upon the website while looking for information. It looks quite large and complicated, hopefully I will learn my way around.

Look forward to participating.

Hi Everyone!

Happy New year to you all!

I have been trading now and then for 20 years - stocks and options. One or two trades a week.

I lost my job last year, since then I am full time trying to learn trading ES, almost blew up my account - still in the game. I keep learning every day.

This is a great forum, hoping to learn from you traders!

Cheers
Ricky

Greetings

Looking forward to learning from this community and contributing, if possible.

I have done some paper and demo-account trading and now planning to go live with a small account in the next month or two.

So, looking to do some fine tuning here!

Thanks.

Hello All,

I have been trading on and off for many years. Every time getting burned.. sinking 1000s into stupid gut feel trades.

Finally back in the game again but this time trading futures. I have been trading ES now for two months. I keep making decisions that are not part of my plan and moving my stop loss consistently. Taking bigger losses and making small gains (eating like a bird and shitting like an eleplant) .

Hope to learn from others and become a consistent trader overtime.

SN

Thanks for having me.
I am a trader trying to look for new ideas/thoughts giving mines in exchange. Sentiment is one of the most powerful tools for Investing IMO. I am looking for "sentiments" towards trading and investment strategies.
Thanks!!

Hello Big Mike and Members,


i am now a puuh quick grown up early 40 fuckin time went fast,

i am from germany, tried to trade sometimes, started with papertrading, overtraded, getting grounded, beaten,etc.,

with a lil sum of money, but dont want to quit trading, at first it was just technical indicator trading searching for the

"holy grail", but now i assume, thats its more about psychologe, dont being so greedy and stay more out of the most

of the retail traders, i am from germany and i am hoping to precise my trading in the future, to specialize into big momentum/breakout options trading...different timeframes...from weeklys to monthlys, everything that can move..big..like us..thanks for being here..:-)

Best regards
Smix :-)

Hi Everyone,

I registered a couple of months ago. I recently opened an account at Interactive Brokers because I wanted to trade options for cheaper than where is was at. I've been watching Tasty Trades and tried a few trades, but found that the effort/payoff ratio was pretty high there for finding trades. It's okay for getting a little extra points out of your portfolio return, but didn't seem it was worth the effort.

I read a bit about trading the S&P E-Mini and starting trading that. It really opened my eyes to futures. It really seems like the most efficient way to get a decent income from trading. It's also the most efficient way to lost money as I'm sure you all know. I traded a couple of days, made some gains and thought, hey this is easy. Than had a bad day or two where I lost a lot more money than I had made so far. I was down about 20%. I've tried to diversify a bit in to other contracts. Mainly oil (CL), natural gas (NG), and gold (GC). I have wheat, soybeans and corn on my watchlist but I feel like I don't know enough about those markets yet to trade. I figure by keeping my options open I won't make a bad trade on the S&P E-Mini when I can watch other contracts for better opportunities.

I would like to learn more about what moves those contracts. I learned the hard way about trading CL on Wednesday morning through the EIA inventories release for instance. Later on I thought I had a handle on that, only to find out that API sometimes releases the same information the night before, but only to Reuters subscribers. So the price move I was expecting didn't happen. I know about the Baker Hughes rig count on Mondays. I'm wondering what else I'm missing (obviously OPEC meetings).

I find I made my best gains by trading NG and CL overnight. That avoids the large surprise moves during the NY trading session. Though sometimes (like today) I blow up on a bad (bored) move during the day. I had a bad case of FOMO when I saw NG rising from 3.100 to 3.300 and went long at the turnaround. Oops.

Anyway, that's it for now. Hope to post more.

Good to be here Mike - and all.

Been trading since 2003, a hobby trader (IRS terminology), mostly self taught with seminars and webinars and books and hard cold CASH. Still not a dedicated part of my day nor am I consistently profitable. Tough lessons, these.
Scalping now after years of trying swing and position, Pivot and S&R, even some long term attempts.
Seems scalping fits my personality and ability to stay focused.

I know SUCCESS can't happen alone, that emotions trump technicals (at least for me), and that a forum like this is where I need to be. THANK YOU to each of you.

I will be deploying a robot this year, emini S&P, and I have joined this Elite group to continue forward with some support and guidance and experience of others trying to make a living in this sometimes brutal world of trading.

Even as I write this, the market is on another screen reacting to Trump's address - and my platform can't keep up... !
(no surprise).

Looking forward to tomorrow's webinar on the "Advantages and Disadvantages of Dedicated Trading Servers".
I know Amazon has VPN's as does Genesis (Trade Navigator) - but this is all I know at this point.

Will scalp robotically, low daily profit, and, over time, increase lot size to make low daily become livable daily, then outright freedom to retire.

Man's first got to dream, and then put in place the steps toward fulfilling that.
Roger.
Wilco.

High Regards to each of you.

Respect,

John G.

Hola, Estoy aprendiendo el comercio solo diez meses, y estoy probando para encontrar mi estilo de trading y practicar para encontrar la consistencia, no tengo prisa ya que me gusta el mundo de los mercados financieros.
Espero ir aprendiendo poco a poco y aportando en todo lo que pueda, soy español no se casi ingles así que con el traductor de google me ayudo. Un saludo muchas gracias.


Hello, I am learning the trade only ten months, and I am trying to find my trading style and practice to find consistency, I am not in a hurry since I like the world of financial markets.
I hope to learn little by little and contribute in everything I can, I am Spanish, I do not know English, so I used to help with the Google translator. Greetings, thank you very much. : Stickyman:
