Trading is for CHUMPS

lol jk.

 

I'm a 20 years old college student interested in trading emini future indexes or forex and I've been devoting a few hours a day for about 4 weeks now to studying everything i can about trading. I've been using chartgame.com to practice using indicators.

 

What i've noticed, when i use the MACD indicator in chartgame, it only seems to work about 35% of the time. Most of the time when i play, it just feels as if i'm gambling. This has caused me to become very discouraged but not completely!

 

Some questions:

 

1) what indicators seem to work best (consistently) for you?

 

2) how long did it take for you to develop a good "flow" when trading within your platform?

 

3) where are some good reading material on this website that i can use to learn?

 

4) would a $3000 account be sufficient for trading emini futures or forex for when i eventually go live?

 

i'll have more questions when i think of more

Keep playing chart game. Eventually, you'll be enlightened by the discouragement or you'll find something non trading related that is not as discouraging to you.

 

1. Try them all and figure it out.

2. Makes no sense.

3. Everywhere. Read the good stuff and the bad stuff.

4. I think most brokers will allow you to daytrade 1 emini with $1000. Forex brokers will take like $50, or maybe even lower. Either way, $3000 is not enough money to hop in the ring and slug it out with anyone. But, if you feel the need to try, I trade oil and gold. please deposit it there.

Cripes!!! What is it with college students... don't you have enough on your plate? Aren't you in debt up to your ears already?

 

If you're discouraged after 4 weeks... good, all the better. Take the $3K and travel during the summer months... get some good out of it.

Firstly I would advice you to practice trading in training (demo account). There you'll be able to find what indicator best fits your trading style and apply material your read to the trading. I use Hotforex demo simple but working stuff that simulates live trading. Don't hurry to go live, it can leave bad or frustrating experience for you so you can even withdraw with any speculating activity.
