Welcome aboard

What do you want to trade? E-mini or Micro Futures?

If it’s futures, do you plan to use NinjaTrader 8?
You need a better platform than TOS or Tasty for Futures IMO.

Have you looked into topsteptrader.com ?

Ohhhh I just realized your into “options”.
At first I read it as what are my options?

I have very little knowledge about options trading.

Cheers

Hello,

My name is Patrick. I am retired and am looking for ways to generate a little extra income to help my kids with college and getting started, as well as making my wife and I's dreams of beach living possible. I have been trading stocks on and off for more than a decade, but I have recently ventured into options. So I am trying to learn a new skill set. I have been through TDAmeritrade and Tastytrades courses, so I am looking forward to trying this out.

I am currently trying to find a journal that will track all of the differing options strategies so I can measure my profitability and hone my strategies for success. I have learned that what does not get measured, does not succeed.

So hello to all, and I look forward to a great journey.

@mytpq, One example by a trader highly regarded in fio:

There are other option threads you'll see, just thought of this one in particular when you mentioned tastytrade.
Good luck. Was in Ormond Beach area couple of years ago, can relate to love of ocean. Liked it better than the gulf side tho I liked the town of Dunedin itself on that side, though was told going further south would have been better, cleaner water.
If you're a dog owner, Flagler I understood was one of the best dog-friendly ones.

Hi, I'm Betsy and new to ninja trader. I would like to learn how to use strategy builder and possibly turn strategies into a bot.I trade options (my account is upside down) and stock. I'm playing around with ninja platform right now and noticing the cursor doesn't shows high/low, time and date when is placed on individual candle. How do I change it to shows all those data like TOS? I'm brand new to ninja and futures so any tips and helpful information is greatly appreciate. TIA, glad to be here.

Greetings to all,
My name is Bert and I just started learning / wanting to become an active trader since July of 2019. I brought some books on day trading by an author of another trading chat room and ended up taking a course on trading which began my relationship with Tradestation (the instructor's preferred platform). The course was ok but I quickly realized to truly day trade stocks DAILY, one had to avoid the PDT rule and I am not there yet. I really have not gone live but I started playing with micro e-mini's with a small account with AMP Futures.
But a wise man knows what he does not know, so here I am seeking knowledge and insight from many here.

Welcome @Phors! If you want specific NinjaTrader (NT) help, check out the NinjaTrader section in the Platforms and Indicators area of FIO: https://nexusfi.com/platforms-indicators/. People tend to be very helpful around here.

Gday

I’m a 41 veteran , who got into trading after been made TPD by my injuries.

Been in stocks for a long time, now 5 years doing CFD, FX etc. I like auto trading as a side , but day trading is what I love.

Like most traders I was cocky and made big and quick money and lost.I made 300K in under 24hr and lost it all in 2 hrs.It became therefore a addiction to be excellent at trading (never will I say I have meet those standards) and it became my outlet and new drive after becoming disabled. Psychology, emotional, risk management

I wanted to learn and then i was asked to manage friends accounts and veterans. Now, always learning, but I spend my time freely teaching trading at the veteran center , along with meditation, fitness, cannabis education , and a variety of rehabilitation skills.

Awesome community

Welcome! You're in a good place here. I have learned so much here, made new friends, improved my trading, and (hopefully) helped others.

Hello,

Let me introduce myself ... My name is wisemond.

I started, a few years ago, with the swing trading on stocks ... then I touched the options a little for a while ... I also tried myself in the Forex market, mainly with an Expert Advisor that I bought on the mql5.com site. My Forex account at the time was with the London broker ActivTrades ...

For a few months, I am interested in Futures, which have the advantage of being a regulated market, compared to Forex ...

In addition to my account with IB, Interactive Brokers (American equities, Options), I recently opened an account with Edge Clear, led by Morad ASKAR (FuturesTrader71), with FCM Dorman Trading ...

For the moment, I trade Futures in a simulation environment on the TT platform of Trading Technologies ...

I still have a lot of questions about the Futures markets, being a newbie in this area ... And that is also the reason for my registration to this Forum ...

Here, I hope that our exchanges between members will be fruitful, constructive, and enriching !!!

Best regards,
