Putting Together a Beginner Trading Group

Recommended Posts

I want to form a group for beginner traders. We will all watch similar markets and trade price action. We will help each other learn and share our findings. We'll do this is a chat room and a yahoo group type deal. Anyone interested in doing this then private message me.

 

Again, the idea is to help each other. We can learn a hell of a lot faster if we do it as a team. Most don't have access to a mentor, so we will help each other.

 

I respectfully ask people to leave this thread alone if you only want to put down such an idea. I think working together in a constructive manner has merit.

 

 

P.s. I am 100% serious about this. If you are not 100% committed to becoming a full-time trader, then don't bother sending me a message.

 

I'll be posting this message on several forums.

I don't think you need a private group to do this. If you keep it open, others may contribute and help the cause as well. I've learned in my time here that some like to contribute right away and some like to lurk a bit before contributing.

 

Good luck!

What you all need is someone to step up and say they will lead the charge on this.

 

What we could do is say have a meeting time/day in the TL Chat where the topic is going to be Beginner Trader -- maybe it meets weekly or more? Perhaps an hour or so. If someone wants to try and get this organized feel free to private message me. I'll make sure it gets distributed in our weekly email we send out to everyone as well as posted on site.

 

Thanks.

There seems to be a lot of interest for this.

 

My top suggestion would be for someone to come forward and offer to lead/organize it.

 

All you would need to do is say something like on "Thursday, July 15th at 9:30am EST let's all meet in the Trader's Lab Chat Room (which is accessed by hitting CHAT in the main navigation menu above) --

 

Just give some notice, and have people meet up at that time/place and start the introductions and discussion.

 

From there you can all decide on a direction and perhaps to meet weekly or more regular at a same place/same time, etc...

 

If there's interest or someone wants to take the lead just let me and the thread know. Thanks!

Madmarket, I would be happy to help out. I'm a 20+ year options trader and would enjoy helping the newbies out. As I mentioned in another post, I don't trade contracts so I can't offer any advice specifically regarding how to trade futures but I can certainly explain the mindset of a trader and money mtg. (ie. how to not to blow up an account)

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
