Hi guys,

I am new to this forum. My interest in finance started early and casually met a person involved into metal hedging. Then I started studying by myself technical analysis since 2010. Started trading live, lost money, paper trading, made some profit, lost it and so on. Now am I planning a new Trading System and we will see.

Thanks

I'm retired. Have a normal portfolio, which is fine. But, it takes ... so ... loooonnnng.

 

Tried a little swing trading a few years back (before retirement.) Now that my time is my own, I want to get back into it.

 

I would consider myself a total noob. This time I need to start from scratch and actually learn what I'm supposed to be doing. Those pictures with all the squiggly lines and numbers and such probably mean something I should know.

 

So, that's what I will endeavor to do. I intend to study using my current portfolio and then transfer the influx of that knowledge to my online portfolio and not lose my shirt or my pants or my cats or my pigs or my dog.

Hi Jordy

 

Might I recommend a Twitter account if you do not currently have one. It is a great place to connect with tons of traders and people are always sharing their ideas. I myself use Twitter to not only see other traders ideas but also to share my own in real time.

 

You can add me @eatsleeptrade7

 

Twitter has surprisingly become one of my greatest tools. I look forward to sharing ideas with you.

Hi Andrew

 

Paper trading is a great place to start and honestly a must for beginners. Unfortunately paper trading tends to be incredibly easier than real trading for a couple of reasons

 

1. There's no emotional connection to paper like there is with real money. It's very easy to hold losing positions with out having much worry. And decisions tend to be non stressful unlike when your losing real $$

 

2. Depending on what paper trading program your using it may not incorporate realistic prices during purchases and is much easier to get filled. There are no worries about bid / ask spread and available volume if shares are actually being traded.

 

Just remember to start small and manage risk when starting with real $$

 

 

 

 

 

Hello

I am new to this, but have been playing with paper money($25,000) on TOS for 3 months..So when I use real money it should all be the same... right?.:roll eyes:

Andrew..Thanks for having me.

Hello,

 

I have always been interested in the idea of trading for profit, however I do not know where or how to start. Lets say my current knowledge is that of a blank slate, however I am very teachable. In short I would love some guidance from the very first step to the very last in order to really give me the best shot at trading successfully.

 

Thank you for your time and your support,

 

Todd E

Hi,

 

I have been trading for a short term (~1 year), and at some point I made the mistake of blowing up my account. I need to reform my method and need to start learning again. I figure a good point would be with wyckoff's method and I'm also interested in learning Dalton's market profile. Hoping to learn and share with other people on this board :). I have a serious passion for trading but am currently a masters student. Nice to meet you all ;)

 

John

Yes, you should gain knowledge regarding various aspects of Forex and also you should select the best broker after analyzing past records. I have been trading with my broker since 3 years and I have earned a lot through it.

    • @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.
