Hi guys,

Continuing in the tradition of encouraging journals on FIO, I am announcing a new Journal Challenge for April 2021, sponsored by @Jigsaw Trading!



Prizes -- the top three trading journals will receive:
  • 1st place prize:
    Lifetime Jigsaw Professional ($879)
    Software + Advanced Course

    Learn specific aspects of enhanced Order Flow, plus trade management, trading in different market conditions, and trading without price charts
  • 2nd place prize:
    Lifetime Jigsaw Independent ($579)
    Software + Basic Course

    Beginner course to understand theory of order flow trading, and how to apply it to your trading
  • 3rd place prize:
    One year of Journalytix ($399)

    Real time trade news, cutting edge historical performance analytics, automated real-time trade collection and journaling

About Jigsaw Trading's "Professional Package"

Trading with Order Flow does not just mean defining and refining market entry points. In the advanced modules, we discuss specific aspects of trading that can be enhanced with Order Flow. Managing your trades, trading in different market conditions, reading reversals and trading without price charts (which is what most prop firms do) and scalping are all aspects of trading that can be massively improved with the use of Order Flow. In module 4, we take a look at trade location, what exactly it is you are trying to achieve as a trader (many have never given this much thought) and developing your own style as a trader.

About Jigsaw Trading's "Independent Package"

Our beginner level course exclusively available free to all Jigsaw customers. Understand the core theories behind using order flow in trading. Why order flow is useful and how to apply it to your trading. Theory is one thing but it’s practical experience that will take your trading to another level, so in module 2, we discuss trading drills that will give you that ‘aha’ moment in trading.

Attention:

We have extended this event by one week, to Friday, May 7th midnight Eastern, due to the data center fire that caused a short delay.

Looking forward to all those great journals!

Making a Living with the Micros

Can someone really make a living trading the micros?

After 15 years of trading futures, I believe I have finally arrived at place I envisioned many years ago: Consistent profitability.

I will share some of the golden nuggets I have found on my journey and how the micros made all the difference.

My next goal is to get to the place where I can make $4,000 per week and withdraw $2,000 of that each Friday, giving an income of $8,000 per month.

Perhaps I can help some others along their path...

sstheo

Hello fellow traders,

I'm happy to participate in the journal challenge with my DAX journal.

I started my journal in February of this year, and I have been trying to use historical (30m) data to define the best time-based entry and exit points and SL size. The results are not good yet, but it's a work in progress.

Have a look and please don't forget to hit the THANKS button

Have a great day!!
Cheers,
Deetee

I'm new here, less than a week, is the journal something that has to be purchased from Jigsaw?

Thanks

No, nothing like that required. Please read post #1 in this thread and it lays out the requirements. The basic requirement is to have a journal on the site, post to it.

New to FIO, but it won't let me post my link to my journal since I don't have enough posts. Any way work around for this situation?

No bypass, sorry. Just make a couple more legit posts, in or out of your journal, and then you'll be able to share your journal link here. It has to be posted by you to qualify here, so I can't do it for you.
