As stated in my few post, I've never traded a real account even though I've open two over the years. I don't post because I really don't know anything yet to even ask the right questions and completely unqualified to give any trading advice to anyone.
2017 is here and I have to learn how to trade because in the last 3 years, I got married, had my first daughter (my profile picture), and now... now... I'm having twins. Hence, my journal will be forever named "The Twins Self-Help Journal."
For the past month, I've turned into a bum, haven't cut my hair, haven't used hair gel one day yet in 2017... no one has seen me because I've been staring at charts... studying them over and over again. I learned to use the Ninjatrader backtesting, market replay, paper trade, trade delayed CL and NQ futures. I'm set to go live in February and lose some real money.
This journal is created so everyone can see how "I make sense of the market"... and how I approach it every day so that the traders on Futures.io can critique me and give me ideas to help further shape my trading style before launch day. I'm still just a novice so this is the self-help journal as it will help me many more times than it helps anyone else on these forums. Hope to have some good laughs with everyone here on this journal, as it will be a very simple trading journal. :becky:
Everyday I will put out my Pre-Market Analysis... post my Intraday Analysis and my trades. I will also post studies of price/chart behaviors and ask for much needed wisdom.
Hope the best for all you this year as I'm already geared up for a very awesome year with the twins coming, the first in the family... from both sides... ever.
