Thanks a lot.

I was just watching the demos. That looks good. The examples in C#. And the volume profiles and footprints.

I'm just afraid that my broker 'AMP-Future' doesn't support this platform.

On the other hand, I only use the software for charting anyway. I make order entry in the DOM of TT.
So I am not bound to the broker for charting. Do you know if they work with Ritmic in addition to CQG?

Good Morning,

I have been trading on and off for 20 years. First dabbling in stocks, then Options, then FOREX, and now in Futures and stocks. I am a process improvement VBA/SQLserver programmer creating application in MS Access and MS Excel.
Recent, this year I became a USPTA Pro Tennis Instructor, due to the lack of regular work.

I enjoy trading for the freedom and opportunity it provides, but the lack of steady success has driven me to take a seat back and paper trade until I device a trading plan and system that works for me.

My current platform is Thinkorswim and Sierra Charts to generate market profile charts on the /ES, SPX, /GC, /SI, and /CL. I like to trade the /ES at both the RTH and the Overnight sessions.

I am currently taking a "Market Profile Primer: A Concentrated Live Course" with Jim Dalton to get a real understanding of the market beyond the price charts.

His material is good but pretty pricey. I am considering becoming an Elite member, but would like to know how many members are currently making decisions off of market profile and if you have educational that might help me on my path.

Thanks for reaching out.
Have a great day.

Thanks for the intro, Big Mike.

My name is Rick, and I have been in Florida since 1992. I am actually a full-time pharmacist, but I work 12-hour shifts. This allows me to day-trade on the market days I have off. My futures trading experience goes as far back as the 1980's, when I had to call up a broker to place trades. Computer charting was very limited, so I had to subscribe to commodities charting services via mail and update them daily by hand. Some of you younger guys don't realize how great you have it compared to 1983. I was using Gerald Appel's MACD soon after he published it, downloading the raw data and constructing the indicator on a Commodore 64 computer. Don't laugh- it really doesn't seem that long ago.

I traded mostly the NYSE index, because the S&P was too expensive back then. I also traded some German Marks, and a very small amount of commodities. And I didn't know what I was doing. But at least one of the first things I ever learned was money management and to place and honor stops on every trade, usually too close, but I never had the bad experience of blowing up an account. I have not traded futures consistently all these years, but since a couple of years ago I have been making several ES trades each day I'm able, either live or paper. I have also been trading stocks, primarily via chart reading, for many years.

My knowledge of futures trading is much greater than my success. Like many other analyticals, I fight the bane of possessing lots of knowledge, but being hindered by emotion. I have spent a couple of years following Al Brooks, who sometimes speaks here, via his live webinars. I have learned a great deal from Al, and I still do, especially about price action. I have also learned from observing Al that, while price action alone works for him, I personally need to add some indicators to simplify the price action I am seeing. I have found that understanding price action really helps me understand what's behind the indicators. Using them together, and building them into automated strategies with NinjaTrader's condition builder, simplifies things and allows me to let the computer remember all the intricacies so I can focus more on the big picture. Otherwise, there is just too many rules for me to remember in real time. I am trying design my automation to mimic rules-based discretionary trading. My limited formal computer training was even further back, around 1975, when we would type punch cards and batch process them from the University in Wilmington, NC, into a mainframe in Chapel Hill. Again, you younger guys have been blessed. Any computer knowledge I have since then has been self taught, and I haven't figured out NinjaScript yet.

I have learned from Al the different market characteristics and how to recognize them (usually), and I know that trending markets must be traded differently from ranging markets, including entry, exit, and trade management criteria. This is where I am now- developing at least two different strategies to trade, one for trending markets and channels, and another for tight horizontal trading ranges. I have developed two positive expectancy strategies, based on back testing, as long as they are applied to the right market. I will probably need to tweak more, but I am close.

I am sure that I will learn much from this community- I have already tapped into your resources by visiting before joining. I look forward to adding where I can, and absorbing whatever is useful in strategy development and automation. Hopefully I am complete before long. I will be 64 in 11 months, and I hope to transition into trading my own account full time by then.

Thanks-
Rick

Good morning, I am from Barcelona, Spain, first of all apologies for my spelling misgraphies... luck of the translators because my English leaves a lot to be desired. I have been trying to learn about trading for 3 years, after a thousand turns around, I have discovered the operation with the Dom, Started with rithmic in anchoring tests and i currently got jigsaw. The truth is that my trading has made a brutal change by seeing what happens in the market since the dom. For the first time I have approved a anchoring test and I hope to be able to continue learning and who knows if one day bring some performance to the market.
Nice to be in this great forum.
Best regards!

Welcome to futures.io, dgoes. Nice to have you here.

I am taking a TPO course with Axia Futures and beginning to incorporate that into my trading. I'm sure it will be of benefit but it's too early for me to quantify at this point.

All the best!

Rick, welcome. I am only about 3 months younger and have similar experiences as well as hopes to transition to trading full time in a similar timeframe.

Your cataloging and programming setups intrigues me. I am an engineer and I am working on condensing the strategies onto a spreadsheet for quick reference but programming a software to ID the setups is a quantum leap from that.

God speed your success in trading and transition.

Jeff

Hello, After some months this is my first post in this forum. Trading is my interest from the time I was 20 years old, about 40 years ago.
I have lost a lot of money and have earned it, also. Always trading on italian stock market, not the best market for sure. But was a great school. Now I am working to change my market approach from discretionary to algorithmic. Not yet starter with live trading, still studying and learning.
Have good trading

P.S. I Hope my english is not so bad.
