Putting Together a Beginner Trading Group

Recommended Posts

Alright guys! Here we go.. I've seen this post for sometime; looks like Martin flew the coup!

 

Let's get to this..

 

I like Mad Market Scientist's recommendation.

 

I'm from Los Angeles and would be happy to take over where Martin left off.

 

I don't know too much myself, been at this for a year.

 

Let's start the first Chat on Sunday, September 26th, 2010 2:30pm PDT. We'll meet for 30mins and discuss Charting Platforms and Trading Instruments. Click on the "Chat" tab, and search for group name "Beginner26" The 26 is for the date if you guys were wondering.

 

How does this Sound?

Trader Nick,

 

Good idea to just finally get it going. I will put a reminder into our weekly email that goes out on the top posts. We'll get that in there next week and hopefully help you gather more traders for the discussion and sharing of ideas.

 

Thanks.

Yup, me too - thanks.

 

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.

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:

Hello I am very interested in joining such a group.

 

Thank you!

 

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!

So I see that the first meeting was a bust.

 

For you beginners out there, (imo) THIS BOOK is one of the best for making it in this career...or any competitive one for that matter.

 

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

 

I owe my success to the fact that I never had a clock in my workroom.

 

I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.

Well, it had appeared there was a volunteer(s) to be in the room and we did promote it in the email newsletter.

 

Not sure if people didn't show up or the people who announced the date/time didn't appear.

 

I could of course volunteer to moderate something if people would show up -- so I'm not sure what happened on the 26th since we were just providing the chat room and the announcement in the newsletter to encourage people to attend.

 

There always seems to be a lot of beginners who state they want to participate -- it might be a different story when it comes to showing up and being pro-active but I'm still willing to help this and we can try again if need be.

 

Let me know.

It's a great book - Outliers. The very best chapter as it applies to traders I believe is the 10,000 hours discussion. It will really ring true to experienced traders, and if you're a beginner it will act as an important reminder of the road ahead of you. It's worth it if you can stick to it with trading, but it helps to be realstic about the effort it will take to get there.

    • 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.
