Howdy,

My background is in Computer Science and mathematics and I recently began pursuing a career in stock options, crypto and futures. I'm happy to find the best forum for futures and want to share and learn from all the great guys on here. I have only been trading futures for a few months and use Sierra Chart and study all of Al Brook's work. I'm here looking for a different perspective and experience from all the great traders here.

Cheers!

Good morning from Spain, traders.
I am a relatively advanced futures trader. Previously I had entered to see posts on the website, but today I have finally decided to register. I love to meet new colleagues in this hard world of futures trading, (in my case Day Trading).
Sorry for my poor English. I will be using a translator most of the time, to avoid messing up.

Started trading in July "94, futures and options ----took about 2 yrs to realise i couldnt make any money at this. Gave it up cuz I had to concentrate on my business and make more money. Now I'm retired and time to supplement my income during some spare time
The landscape looks to have changed a bit so will take it slow and try to learn how to have fun and make some cash !
Thanks Mike

Almost 30 years later, trading is just as hard now, if not harder...

Hello All Traders,

Just found out about Futures.IO and plan to become an Elite Member. My thanks to Big Mike for starting this site and I look forward to contributing to the community, and help it grow further. Have been trading on and off for about 10 years in stocks and simple options. Just switched to intraday trading ES and MES from March of last year. I still consider myself a beginner/novice trader - still trying to be consistent.

Started learning about Orderflow about a week ago and just signed-up for a free Orderflow trial with Gomicators. In the past year, I have tried day trading ES/MES using the two legged pullback method. I found that trading strategy to be too cumbersome and very restrictive in its entry requirements - saw many missed opportunities. I also experimented with Heikin Ashi, range and Renko charts. My goal is to become a consistent profitable intraday trader in the ES market.

I have settled on Orderflow with footprint charting and possibly also using volume/market profile as my main strategy for ES/MES. If anyone has any suggestions/advise on orderflow, please share. It would be greatly appreciated.

My philosophy on life: The goal in life is to live to life expectancy and leave this world of natural causes. The mission in life is on your last day on this planet when you take your last breath, you want to be happy, smiling, but more importantly, no regrets.

Happy trading and much success to everyone on their journey to consistent profitability.

Greetings All,

Hope everyone had a good Holiday weekend.

As Groucho Marx famously quipped: "I don't want to belong to any group that would have me as a member!". But in this case, I'm happy to be part of the Futures.IO family!

I have been trading for about 10 years. I have a background in commercial lending and real estate development.

Have always had a fantasy of sitting on a tropical island in my underwear, sipping a coffee, listening to the ocean as I make dozens of ticks per day. Unfortunately early on, the only ticks I consistently had were the nervous ticks I developed through lousy trading. LOL!

Started with Forex (Mt4), then stocks, then futures. Guess I wasn't happy just losing money in Forex. Like many others, it's been a long learning curve, and I am finally to a point where I make more than I lose. Hooray for me!! LOL

My biggest change has been automating my trading realizing I am a much better trader when I'm asleep or not staring at my computer.

See you around!

Finley
