Hello All,

May this post mark the start of a new chapter in my life. I have been "trading" on and off this past decade and I have decided to go all in. I need a change in my life. I HAVE to make this work. Good luck to us all in here. See you around.

Hello,
I've been trading stocks and futures for 5 years now. Last couple of years I've been focused on futures alone (bonds). I've also done some algo trading with relative success. Due to my daily job, I had to do it intermittently, but my plan it to start doing it more regularly in the near future.

Hello,

New to this forum but otherwise old. I started out trading energy in the mid-2000s. More recently, I've been focused on quantitative strategies in multiple asset classes. I still do some discretionary trading in equities, natural gas and oil - usually with options and spreads. There's some great content here from folks with lots of experience; looking forward to learning and, where possible, contributing.

Thanks.

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.

Also, as you are reading the thousands of posts on the forum -- don't forget to use the Thanks button (bottom right of each post) to let the author know his post is appreciated!



Good hunting!

Hey Mike and hey all, new here and just starting to understand how big this forum really can be. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who had to start from the red and use that as motivation to come back up. I mean, I'd assume nearly half of all traders start this way, but I appreciate knowing that someone such as yourself understands the experience. But misery loves company, don't it?

Hi everyone,
Been a lurker for awhile, finally decided to join. I've been trading for around a year or so, with the goal of being able to do it full-time someday. Looking forward to learning and improving as a trader. Best of luck to all.

Well, I'm a bit disappointed that I just got done reading how this community was created to share knowledge about futures / futures options trading and then found out it must have morphed into an income generation scheme where we have to pay $100 to actually participate fully.

I guess the trading isn't going too well?

Anyway, I've been trading futures and futures options for over 30 years and over that time have developed a pretty reliable trading method, particularly if you have access to an account with $100,000 or more. It can be done with less, but it would be harder to be successful the lower your balance is.

Unlike a fair amount of people here, I'd imagine, is that my trading has been my sole income source since 2013.

Well, I'll look around and try to contribute where I can, but if too many threads are locked out for me I'll find another site.

Good trading, everyone.

PDG

Hi...I kept bumping into this forum while searching for info so decided to join. Happy to see it's Big Mike. I've benefited from the youtube content.

I trade futures part-time...also have a "day job".

It looks like there is a lot of content here and I will participate in it as I have time.

Best to everyone here!

Hey Mike,

Sadly, I also lost money for years. After 6 years, I started realizing the importance of good money management.
Futures is my thing although I learned Options first (by hand)...

Im working on a trading program to share with anyone who wants. NT8 has been working fine for now, I have a great programmer on my team... Looking forward to great times.

see you around
Dullah, Im out
