I started trading back in 2009, seems like forever ago but in trading years thats very little. I have blown up at least 3 accounts maybe 4, mostly making newbie mistakes averaging losers, no stops, taking profits too quick. Some of those bad habits are still within me I dont think they are gone but I try really hard to contain them or at least recognize them very early so that I dont get hurt too bad. Been lurking around here for a while now mostly sucking up the resources so hopefully this is my way of giving back.
So why now?
I was lurking and saw this post about this trader named Okina who is no longer with us but it appeared that he touched a lot of members who seemed very genuine so it sparked in me.
What do I trade?
Mostly CL and ES
What platforms do I use?
Tradeovate The main reason was because I have a full time job and it lets you trade within a browser with fairly cheap commission.
Ninja Trader Still have this hooked up and I can remote in from phone to see my custom indicators.
