Hey, sounds like a great idea you have brewing here! I won't have as much to contribute until I'm done with my "civilian job" but when I get up and running I can't wait to be a part of this. Happy trading:beer:

Peace to all the newbies and thanks in advance to all the vets who are willing to shepherd us through the valley of death! I've been trading equities and options in uni - our little investment club lived the high life until we got clobbered in the tech boom :crap: and realized paper profits don't pay for the Dom! So I currently run the day to day operations for a midstream gas marketer. Trading OTC physical nat gas and manage a small regional book. We relocated a few years ago (I love it but my wife not so much...) to a beautiful but expensive city. Since our first little guy just had his first b-day, it looks like we're going to be heading back to our hometown to be with friends and family. Unfortunately, my "skills" are pretty niche so I'm guessing job opportunities will be sparse at best... So I'm finally going to live my dream and trade full time for myself. I've been reading non-stop about day trading strategies, techniques, plans etc. I've been testing some strategies and devising a money management plan with some pretty decent success. Not sure about you guys but I'm going to skip paper trading for the most part, (Its never seemed to benefit anyone I know - Long term, swing, or day traders). I know myself, and I need skin in the game to stay focussed and perform at my best. I've socked away a decent amount of cash - enough to get started I think. My plan is to start really small and create a consistent profitable system. I won't need the $$ to pay the bills so I won't have that pressure hanging over me which I think will be beneficial. So best of luck to everyone out there and I hope I can learn from the best and maybe pick up a couple of trading buddies along the way! :beer: Happy trading!
