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.

Guest lenco12
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.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94.

Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
