Truth so pure, unfortunately live trading I did not have my 'make lots of money' in the beginning. Made lots on the simulators, you get great fills on them, and can 'cheat' at your trading ideas! :rofl: No better teacher than live trading losin real money.

Hello, I am a new futures trader. Have previous experience with stocks and 1 yr daytrading experience in stocks. The year I spent daytrading was quite the learning curve! What a rollercoaster. I really beat myself up after about only a gain of 1% but looking back I got a lot of screen time and break even is great for my first try. Had a 27k account then. taxes were a nightmare ! Time to move on to futures. have 5k account lost 12% in my first week trading mostly es and a little ym :crap: doing more simulator time now. Losses mostly due to bad stop placement, bad trade management. When stock trading I had trouble trading things like qqqq and qid qld when i was doing stocks, and better success with mainstream single stocks like ibm and such. Perhaps the volatility in the es is too much for my little account and small stops. I am looking forward to being part of this community, I have lurked on other boards and this one seems quite civil. Any advice on some nice liquid futures markets to check out besides es and ym for my account size? Corn and Currencies look interesting. I took quite a spanking last week and I must thank the market for what was a great reality check!:doh:
