Hey Big Mike,

I have been a swing trading for years. I like fibs and enjoy learning more about them. My base charts use 3 indicators that a veteran successful trader taught me. With this relativily recent choppy market, I am trying to learn day trading using index futures band just trade the micros until I feel comfortable enought to trade the mini's.

I Lost several thousand the first few months, but now I am just static with a sideways P/L after being introduced to VWAP's and other intra day tools. I came to this site when I was looking for some TradeStation language to tweek my current studies. I also use TOS.

Anyway, this looks like a great site. I am more of a reader than a contributer. I just don't have the confidence or the knowledge to help with study scripts.

Hi.... I just came across this site today whilst trying to answer a question about Tradestation (since resolved). I think that being part of an active community of traders can be enormously constructive as a forum for seeding and developing new ideas and refining old ones. Thanks for creating this space Big Mike!

Same reason I just arrived.

I tried using tt bracket.. it did nothing. order log shows it went through.
anyway...
still a newb at 8 months. No real success. paper trading in real account and placing small bets...small loss.

Hope to learn some things.

my first day is a big red line in spetmeber. LOL.
rude awakening.

I trade futures. mini ES mostly. sometimes MGC, CL.

Glad to find a place to chat.. I do not chat much about trading with anyone.

Hi,

Belgian, 45 years and all new and fresh in the trading world, looking forward to learn more.

Will be active on Futures ES only for now, short sessions of scalping using EMA 200 + alligator indicators on NinjaTrader.
First day was a +290.80 $, if I can keep it between +50 and +300 daily it will be a very good start

good luck to everyone !

I am from Venezuela, a country with a difficult economic situation, in trading I have seen hope. Now, I have found many trading pages but never one as good as this one, I congratulate you

Hello fellow traders at futures.io,

It's a pleasure to introduce myself to this wonderful community. I hail from Spain but currently reside in the Balkans, where I have been actively trading ES with volume profile (VP) and levels.
I am always eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share my enthusiasm for the markets.

Thanks for having me, and I look forward to an awesome journey at futures.io.

Hallo all,

finally I got time to introduce myself.

I entered the Trading world 2 yeras ago. At that Point i didnt know what Futures are or what bid and ASK means, complete noob.

I bought a course where i learned the basics about Market Profile, Volume Profile, footprint and some candle Stick Setups. I studied IT for around 6 Month.

But this didnt Work Out for me. Looking Back, IT hast been either a Lack of Screentime./ Experience and of course Patience.

I then got Access to a Coaching with more depth in Volume Profile and Market Profile.
Also the orderbook was used to enter and Exit Trades.

At that Point i alredy had Developer a better understanding of the "Market".
And a very Basic understanding of Absorption and different es in Action processses Reading the orderbook.

But again something hast still been wrong. Some good days some good Trades butbalso complete Desaster. Actually I never asked myself why I struggle or what i News to do.better. I Just continued.

At thisnpoint I had been in the Game for 1 year.

I joined a patreon with the Sole Focus on 1 Minute Footprint scalping.
I thought I finally.found my Style and Had some profitable streaks. I Trader Like this for 1/2 year and got a decent understanding of the orderflow in the Footprint.

I finally Made my First Funded Account with a prop firm and lost IT in the First day.

At this Point there was No room for any excuses. I was abvious that after 1 1/2 years I
have enough "technical" knowledge and enough Market understanding/Screentime To be profitable. And I have been for short periods Like 1-2 weeks. The reason for Failure hast been my inability to Stick to my Trading Plan/strategy.
And the inability to managebmy mindset/Emotionen while trading. And of course habital Pattensen in my eeveryday Life aswell.

Finally after 1 1/2 years I Starter to ASK myself what i need to fix/do to succeeed.
I Started to get knowledge about psychology,mindset and managing of emotions in Trading.
I realized that in the fast 1 min scalping strategies ITS was Harder to maintain focussed and emotional Control. I still think that my scalping strategy IS the lowest variance and Most consistent strategy I am able to trade, but IT IS also the mental/psychological Mist difficult to master. So I went Back to First strategy approach I have been learning. Where I execute from a 3 min. time frame in predefined Locations Matching the preanalysed Market context. This doesnt require füll Focus and emotional Control all the time, Like the scalping. IT gives me.more room to observe myself. IT aso hast very vlear Rules for entrys and stops. This. Makes IT obvious when I don't Stick to the plan. And I can Catch myself in time.

Sorry for all the typos from my german Auto correct Phone. Will BE better in the Future when I Post yfrom PC.

I am Happy to diwcuss and Share and learn about:

Emotional Control
Mindset
Trade Journaling
Building consistency
And so in...

Feel free Auto contact .me

Hi everybody,

maico75 here from Canada.
Been trading for about eight months, mostly SPX Options and now learning Futures.
I did not have a great start, but I am learning how to get better every day, and that's the thing that makes me love trading, you are never at the end of your journey, learning one more thing makes you better on the next trade.
Look forward to sharing and reading from other options and futures traders, and give back to the community also!
