Hi everyone,
New trader looking to trade the 10 year bond.
For the past 3 years I've been studying and trying to find quality education on trading. I passed on a few 'schools' using the hard sell. I came upon this forum from John Grady's blog and like the philosophy here.

If anyone, new or experienced, want's to talk bonds, I'm interested.

Thanks for all the valuable info you've taken the time to post.

Thanks for this video on rookie mistakes on trading with volume profile. I am using volume profile as well as trendline indicators to pick up the directional bias.

I started trading futures in October 2018. it's was amazing the first week ,i made a lot of money. After this ,without knowledge with my money management ,i lost a big part of my account. i decide to review the way i trade to be consistent..I learn a lot about price action,support ,resistance .etc etc.

After a month(12-14hrs per day) in simulation, now i feel better when i trade . but i put a lots rules every day in my trading sessions. like: don't chase trade ,anticipate ,and if you don't see your favorite pattern( don't trade) ..wait for it ..sometime , i don't find any trade during the day .. that's the life .

One of my rules , i only make 2-3 trades ,per day..and i try to follow the trend as long as i can .

Sorry everyone ,i,m not very good in English .but it's a nice way to improve .

Thanks

ps: i trade every day Nq (Futures )



I also trade NQ futures and the only way I am able to turn the corner is by limiting my trades to 3-4 winning trades of 4-5 pips, so make 15-20pips per contract and then stop. No overtrading is the key and have stoploss set... It is the day I decide to not use stop that market explodes against my position.

Hello and thanks for letting me join the forum. Not new to trading but new to using Ninja Trader. Hope to learn a few things on this powerful trading platform and share some thought and ideas with strategies on futures. Using the advance trading management strategies in Ninja Trader 8 are a must and especially good for keeping disciplined which removes emotions. That means there is more time to focus on other things rather than worry about every single tick. I've made about every mistake there is to make in regards to trading in my 16 years but consider all of them meaningful lessons. The market has a way of teaching valuable lessons if you are willing to learn.

Thanks again and regards,

Rick

I think you have made a good choice, on Ninjatrader platform are available some of the best indicators and it's chart trader provides automatic Stop implementation which can be a game changer.

Hi,

Actually a year ago but I interrupted after a bit for private reasons and resumed in Jan.
Now I trying to win a evaluation at a prop firm while trading my account.

You can see my journal if you want in the corresponding page or click on my nickname.

Hi Michael and bmtrading9:

Did I do or say something wrong here? If I ever did, my humbled apology, alright, Michael?

My comment is focused on his/her trading charts,
not on him/her as a person, nor whether the trader
is trading sim or live or live money; or not. These
are all irrelevant.

And when you decide to go on live for real money,

we like to see, read and enjoy that too, K?


My response was based solely on this statement above. It appears that you are suggesting that GruttePier is not a live trader. On FIO, many people post amazing trades, but then it becomes clear they are not trading live. That is what it appears like you're saying -- that he appears to be a good trader, but that he trades on sim. Your statement, "When you decide to go on live for real money" is the reason I thought you did not believe him to be a "real" trader.

It's often the case that people on FIO are blowing smoke, but GP is not one of those people. He trades live, with all the frustrations, joys and in-betweens that come with trading. He is also a friend of mine, which is why I rose to his defense. If, as you say, you meant only that you admire his trading, that's great. So do I.

If I drew the wrong conclusion, I humbly apologize, but I'm not the only one, as I've received a handful of messages from folks familiar with GP asking about your comment. The general consensus was that you were calling him out as a sim trader.

Cheers, and good trading to you.

Michael

I feel like futures.io is delightfully free from this type of thing for the most part, either that or I’m somewhat blind to it.

I feel a journal’s purpose is first to help its creator navigate their journey. Based on this premise there is no value in blowing smoke, so the creator is merely wasting their own time. Others can learn from and find value in them too and i guess that is where things get more complicated.

I read a handful of journals religiously and try to stay current with a bunch of others. I find value in them all. Even if on does seem to be “blowing smoke” it usually points to something that i could be doing better as a trader.

But you reminded me of something that I go back and forth on in my own journal which is posting the filled order summary. I always felt it seemed redundant.

I think in the end a journal is a learning tool and a way to help each other too. YMMV.
