I have been daytrading futures live for a month now. I mainly trade the ES, NQ, RTY, and CL. I did have a mentor who taught me his system. I virtually traded for about 2 1/2 months and I started to be consistent and doing well. When I went live, I did not do well. I know this is to be expected. However my mentor did not exactly like the mistakes I made. The emotions got the best of me. Trading really shows you who you are. I have learned alot over the past month. Made a lot of mistakes and I journal every trade.
I was using TOS. I got my commissions lowered to $1.30. This is still horrible. I am planning to switch to Ninjatrader. However I really dont know if this is the best decision. I like their platform and prefer it to TOS. The commisions will be a lot less with NT too. Maybe other members can help guide me?
Now that I gave some background. I want to further my education. I have watched webinars and videos on using the orderflow (especially with John Grady). I also watch FT use volume profile, market profile, cum delta, order flow, and footprints. Where can I learn this in detail? When I see those charts I dont know what I am looking at exactly.
I am on the verge of purchasing the lifetime fee for NT. I just see sierra charts, jigsaw, and lightspeed to name a few. All this can be overwhelming. I just love to learn and course hopefully improve my trading. Any help would be much appreciated.
