Hello,

I would still consider my self a beginner. I have been swing trading equities for about 2 1/2 years. Getting a handle on my emotions and making better rule based trades. I have ventured into forums before but found them to be a whole lot of B.S.

So I am giving the forums another shot. It would be nice to chat with others who understand the personal work involved in being a trader.

This is still a part time process with the intention of doing this full time.

 

When I am not trading I build Christmas Village terrains, garden, cook, and read . I love to study the why? we do things the way we do, the study of the human brain.

 

Lorraine

May all your trades be green

and your loses small with large lessons

That's pretty interesting. I used to do lots of coding on MT. Why don't you share some of your results. You can also share your robot or some code in our forums.

 

Welcome btw!

Niko,

 

I like what you say about a plan.It's a very simple fact that is often overlooked.

The typical trader does not look upon his trading as a business.As a result he approaches the market without a plan It seems to come with the territory like losing an acct to pay your dues. ( and I am not calling the kettle black here, I have lost the obligatory acct).

But in just about any other field a sloppy attitude towards one's profession will quick be corrected.

Hi,

I'm trading futures (CL, QM, ES, C) since 2010, but traded also forex and stocks for many years. I'm a 100% mechanical/quantitative trader, and I used to develop my systems on my own. I traded many strategies on TradeStation and NinjaTrader platforms. I'm currently interested in sharing ideas and projects on this nice forum.

Hi Albnd,

 

Welcome to TL - mechanical traders are a little under-represented here, so I look forward to seeing you around the forums!

 

Kind regards,

For sure. Honestly I feel a bit confused, 'cause the forum is really huge. Do you know of any specific "place" (thread, etc.) related to mechanical trading over here? Any orientation is welcome.

 

Thanks.

Option Trading is a fun place to begin in learn. There is more risk involved but higher reward. If you get the right training you can have success and a lot of it. I found a cool site that helped me called TraderMinute. They do option trading. They offer a $3K to $100K challenge. Turn 3,000 into 100,000. Its a lot of fun. They offer coaching as well for beginers that can be requested. Its helped me a lot. Hope you find something that helps you get started!

Hi All,

 

I wanna be a trader. Please advice on how to familiarise myself with the language, charts, and basic steps on how to begin trading?

 

I would suggest you to start with a demo trading account and read as much as you can about technical analysis and the threads in TL.

 

If you want to learn about Futures and Options, you can read my threads. I generally posts on options.

 

Happy Learning

      Date: 14th February 2025.   Can The NASDAQ Maintain Momentum at Key Resistance Level?     The price of the NASDAQ throughout the week rose more than 3.00% to bring the price back up to the instrument’s resistance level. However, while taking into consideration higher inflation, tariffs and the resistance level, could the index maintain momentum?   US Inflation Rises For a 4th Consecutive Month The US Consumer Price Index, or inflation, rose for a 4th consecutive month taking the rate even further away from the Federal Reserve’s target. Analysts were expecting the US inflation rate to remain unchanged at 2.9%. However, consumer inflation rose to 3.00%, the highest since July 2024, while Producer inflation rose to 3.5%. Higher inflation traditionally triggers lower sentiment towards the stock market as investors' risk appetite falls and they prefer the US Dollar. However, on this occasion bullish volatility rose. For this reason, some traders may be considering if the price is overbought in the short term.   Addressing these statistics, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that the Fed has yet to achieve its goal of curbing inflation, adding further hawkish signals regarding the monetary policy. Other members of the FOMC also share this view. Today, Raphael Bostic, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated that the Fed is unlikely to implement interest rate cuts in the near future. This is due to ongoing economic uncertainty following the introduction of trade tariffs on imported goods and other policies from the Republican-led White House.   Most of the Federal Open Market Committee emphasizes additional time is needed to fully assess the situation. According to the Chicago Exchange FedWatch Tool, interest rate cuts may not start until September 2025.   What’s Driving The NASDAQ Higher? Earnings data this week has continued to support the NASDAQ. Early this morning Airbnb made public their quarterly earnings report whereby they beat both earnings per share and revenue expectations. The Earnings Per Share read 25% higher than expectations and Revenue was more than 2% higher. As a result, the stock rose more than 14%. Another company this week that made public positive earnings data is Cisco which rose by more than 2% on Thursday. Another positive factor continues to be the positive employment data. Even though the positive employment data can push back interest rate cuts, the stability in the short term continues to serve the interests of higher consumer demand. The US Unemployment Rate fell to 4.00% the lowest in 8 months. Lastly, investors are also increasing their exposure to the index due to sellers not being able to maintain control or momentum. Some economists also increase their confidence in economic growth if Trump can obtain a positive outcome from the Ukraine-Russia negotiations.   However, during Friday’s pre-US session trading, 80% of the most influential stocks are witnessing a decline. The NASDAQ itself is trading more or less unchanged. Therefore, the question again arises as to whether the NASDAQ can maintain momentum above this area.   NASDAQ - News and Technical analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ is largely witnessing mainly bullish indications on the 2-hour chart. However, the main concern for traders is the resistance level at $21,960. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is mainly experiencing bearish signals as the price moves below the 200-period simple moving average.   The VIX, which is largely used as a risk indicator, is currently trading 0.75% higher which indicates a lower risk appetite. In addition to this, bond yields trade 6 points higher. If both the VIX and Bond yields rise further, further pressure may be witnessed for index traders.   Always trade with strict risk management.
