Big Mike View Post
Hi everyone!

Like most day traders, I blew up my account a couple times and lost enough money to make most grown men weep. After I regrouped I started trading with common sense and with control of my emotions.

Later, I decided I wanted a forum to share my ideas as well as learn from others. I created my blog on April 17th, 2009 in order to meet this goal, as well as hold myself accountable for my trades and actions. I wanted a way to be able to lookback and ensure I was following my own advice.

The blog introduced me to a lot of fellow traders, some struggling, some doing exceptionally well. Talking with them everyday has really helped my trading and given me a lot of new ideas as well. In turn, I hope that I have provided them something useful that helps in their trading.

Since the blog did very well I decided to create this forum, and it was born June 11th, 2009. The forum was designed with the specific goal of having a small community of traders focused on making money. There are other sites out there but I never really felt at home with many of them, their userbase is too focused on proving someone wrong instead of trying to help.

You can find some more information about me in my profile.

Good hunting!
Mike

Mike, thanks for starting a forum. I have been following your NT development. I have been trading forex for the past couple of years and switched to ES trading a few months ago at the suggestion of a successful friend. So far so good
I'm looking forward to participating in the psychology discussions as the holy grail is between my ears.

My name is Rich, I've traded in 08 using mostly common indicators(like MA EMA Stochastics, etc...). I just started trading the S&P Eminis in June 09. Looking for 09 to be a profitable year. Glad to be part of this forum.

Mike,

Thank you for this site and the immensely helpful information. I am basically starting out with Futures after not trading much after the tech bubble. Using Ninja and the simulator and replay functions is also of great help and makes me realize that you are correct that trading is more importantly about psychology. Hopefully I will advance to a level were I can also provide some useful info.

David

Hi,
I have been trading TF using NT for the past over 7months and have lost almost all the money I invested.
My experience with indicators so far are that they are lagging and most times too late for any play.

I agree with Big Mike totally that we should just ride the trend and watch the price action since we are only in the market for the shortest duration to make some money.

I hope that someone can advise me how and what the settings for the indicators used in the video on July 12th.

Thanks.
Andrew

Hi all,
I'm new to eminis trading and am looking to learn as much about this form of trading as I can. I've viewed some of Mike's videos (well done Mike!) and looked at some of the threads. Hopefully I can be a positive contributer to the group.

This is a really great site. No egos, BS,no excess of hormones. Just alot of people who want to learn and alot of people who want to share.Makes for a good combination. As for me I have been trading for quite awhile and have done just about everything wrong that you could do wrong. All the indicators will work and the all time frames are right. You just have to find your combination. Bottom line
Holy Grail = Discipline= Success
