Hi!

I'm about to begin my second and last year of my masters in finance. Since I've got a single class this upcoming semester, I've decided learn more about actual trading, algos, get better at coding and all the possible ways to build a strategy.

Look forward to learn more!

Hello all,

my name is Patricia and I live in Germany so sorry for my bad english. I came from a Google search about different platform comparisons like NinjaTrader, SierraChart, MultiCharts, eSignal etc. I am glad to have found this site because I got the impression it is really well visited with lots of helpful postings and information. At this point I want to express a BIG THANKS to BigMike for bringing this up -thumbsup-

I have basic/intermediate knowledge but since a few months I decided to really dive seriously into the trading. Currently I trade only CFD because of the small account balance. I'm interested in the future market but in 'the future' I want to stay at CFD and paper trading until I feel comfortable and make persistently profit. My main focus is in BackTesting and that's why I'm looking for a platform to stick with and try develop my own strategies for backtesting.

Looking forward to any helpful comment. Thanks for listening and good luck and success with the trading.

Hi, no worries, I have been six years trading till I have become fairly consistent by a deep understanding in how the market works, looking closely to MP and Vwap. Keep on the good work.

Hey folks! I’m new to futures. Glad to have found this forum! I like futures because of the tax treatment, no PTD rule, great liquidity and most of all the simplicity and discipline of focusing on a small number of instruments (ES, NQ) rather than hundreds of stocks and ETF’s. I’ve been watching ES and NQ for months and from what I’ve read here and on reddit the DOM is going to be my strategy of choice.

Right now I’m a bit overwhelmed with brokerage, data feed, trading tools and platform choices. I am definitely a minimalist when it comes to trading so keeping it simple is one priority. I know I can go straight to the FCM for data but I like the idea of using a broker since I’m new and will likely need some guidance/customer service plus, I believe that given the volume I’ll be trading (maybe 10 contracts per day) the commissions will be cheaper. Speaking of commissions, TD Ameritrade is $7 per round trip, that’s bonkers!!

I’m leaning towards optimus or tradovate for brokerage/data feed and jigsaw as my main trading tool. It seems that both of those IB’s have great free platforms so I can start with one of them before springing for Jigsaw. I use TOS for swing trading and options so I’ll likely use it for big picture charting when needed.

Glad to be here!!

I recommend my broker, DeCarley trading out of Las Vegas - customer service and questions answered all the way - great for a newbie experience

Hi Big Mike,

I have little trading experience and would like to learn more about futures. Unfortunately, I am not yet a successful trader at the moment. I hope for better times.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this group.

Tom

Sorry if i have been lax in using your website, but i di drift a lot from here to there. i'm a 100% disabled vet, served 15 great years in the air force. people ask me, how did you ike the air force, i say the air force was great to me in every way possible, it was just some of the people who were the problems. im interested in stocks and am trying to learn auto mapping my own algorithims. i just do casual searches as i go along. my health is not the greatest in the world but i still get by. used my veteran home assistance program and now after having the house for a year, refinanced to a great 2.99 apr... i just do whatever i can to help people if im able to....hope this has been a good post for you all to read.

Christen
