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.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
