Introduce Yourself Here - Don't Be Shy!!
besavycom replied to trading4life's topic in Beginners Forum
I have been self employed most of my life and got the notion around 14 or 15 years ago that trading futures would make me rich! I bought a dish for the super high tech 486 and I was in business! It got kind of interesting as I quit smoking about the same time as well. Kristal still laughs when she thinks about the pens I chewed up watching the screen! (practiced with real money) Took a break, got into penny stocks for a while. Lots of leverage. Had a pretty good run then saw the ugly side. Reverse splits and manipulation. Got back into the futures. (es-emini) No manipulation there!! Wrote hundreds of indicators for tradestation and gave up lot's of weekends. Don't watch the indicators as much as before now and focus more on price action. Like everyone else, always on the lookout for wave 3!! I keep an eye the outside and inside bars in a trend. Seems picking bottoms will make you go broke! Funny how divergence can help in chop and kick your butt in a trend! Anyway, I do my best to diversify my online income (and help others) to make up for the choppy days! All the best, Ben Alexander -
Working from home I have put lots and lots of time into learning daytrading(tradestation). I started about thirteen years ago++ with penny stocks and had some pretty good luck. Now we both keep an eye on the es emini. It is highly leveraged and you can put up $1000 and make half that in a day with talent!! The Tough part is doing it everyday ...if you have to. I put together two full tower computers with very fast drives and three large monitors for trading.:
I am currently working online generating
