Hello everyone!

I'm pretty much a newbie in the light of all your knowledge and experience. I am a student studying Accounting and Finance with a fascination for everything investment related. I have purchased a few stocks with what little funds I have but no more really than just to say I own some shares haha. I have run a few virtual portfolios on Investopedia for about a year and a half now, and recently tried my hand at their FX trading simulator. I'm fairly good at appraising common stocks using various financial ratios and financial statements but am still lacking much knowledge on the technical analysis part. I have learnt a bit about candlestick charts and such techniques as the fib retracement patterns. I know I have so much more to learn and I look forward to reading and contributing on this site with you all!

Been looking for a good trading forum for ages!

Welcome Karim! It's important to try to identify the objectives for your strategy before deciding which methods to employ. Make sure once you do decide on your methods, you understand fully how they work. There is a danger that new investors/traders chop and change methods in order to find that "secret sauce" or "holy grail". What they often miss is that it's more about themselves. Good luck in your investing/trading and enjoy the forums!

Hi Everybody! New to the site, but have been trading and mentoring traders for many years. I love the thrill of microcap trading... I know, call me crazy--but it is exciting finding the right stock and watching the money grow so quickly....

Hope to make lots of trading friends and that we can learn from each other. :2c::2c::2c:

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site as of today. i find it very interesting and hope that it maybe can help me with my trading woes. I started trading S&P minis about 18 months ago and have blown my small account two or three times. At this point, I've stopped trading with hopes to continue at some point in the near future. I really love trading, but i wish i could do it and make a profit. Luckily, i have a full time job and have been able to survive the losses. Last round of trading i felt i was making progress, but then lost all profits in a matter of a couple of days.In looking around this website, i see that others have had the same experiences. Thank you all for sharing them. I hope this site gives me the inspiration to continue trading soon. thanks.

Welcome to TL Joe! Lots of people have had similar experiences to you. It's almost as some say, the cost of a trading education. Just make sure you learn the lessons well. If you keep getting the same results, then there may be something you are missing. Members here are experienced and always generous with sharing their knowledge, so if you have something you're unsure of, just ask! Pop over to the e-mini thread link in my sig if you still want to trade the eminis.
