I read a lot of books and I understand that all that is there described has already passed. Market is changing very quickly.I expect to receive the information from the practitioners, not writers. I'll share what I know.

Sorry for my English. It is not my native language))

I don't have a large background, I have been trading for a year now and blew my account already once. I am focused on price and volatility and love Bollinger bands. I trade mostly futures (bonds, Crude Oil and Gold).

I have been reading a couple of books on the matter, such as Smart Streets and another one by Anna Coulling. But so far I have not grown too much faith on volume analysis.

I got disappointed by too many fake outs. Even the price theories stated in Smart Streets did not blow my mind anyways.

I trade only a couple of hours a day and love Sierra Chart.

Hey everyone i am completely new to the trading world and i am doing it mainly as a hobby because i was always interested in the stock market and i always wanted to understand it. I dont know where to start and what are the best websites to start trading and learning. I have a lot of questions about the stock market and hopefully you guys or girls can answer them for me because that would help me a lot... and therefore my questions are....

 

What is the best website to start trading ?

What is the best website or place to learn trading ?

What is the best method of trading ? Penny stocks , day trading ?

What is the process of trading ? do i use a broker or do i do it myself ? And what website provide these services?

Where do i learn to read charts ?

I just have to answer here. Seriously, get a little grip on reality. Trading is great, but a LITTLE more thinking is required.

 

> What is the best website to start trading ?

 

THE BEST? Google.com. There are a lot of ressources, but none is THE BEST.

 

> What is the best website or place to learn trading ?

 

Place? Your home, in your chair. Website? Google.com. SOME groundwork is needed from you, for example....

 

> What is the best method of trading ? Penny stocks , day trading ?

 

Question, what is better - steak or pasta? A LOT depeneds on your style and priorities. For example, I trade no stocks - futures and forex only.

 

> What is the process of trading ? do i use a broker or do i do it myself ?

 

Question - how do you do it yourself? Standing in front of your house and trying to buy and sell stocks from people passing by? Because YOU can not go to an exchange without buying an exchange seat. Handling the orders is what a broker does. So, what is the question here?

 

> And what website provide these services?

 

None. See, websites offer no services. This is like saying "i want to eat pizza, which flyer offers these services": A website is made by a company to advertise and facilitate it's business - and the COMPANY provides the services. Which one? Depends what you want to start trading. There are literally hundreds or thousands of brokers in different countries.

 

> Where do i learn to read charts ?

 

We are back to your chair in front of your desk. Tons of approaches, tons of material on google. Find an approach and then - well, books, but mostly sitting and trying to work things out.

 

Given your - hm - level if common sense demonstrated (by basically asking questions to generic that "google" is the only answer), I would suggest you open a tiny account with a decent reputable forex broker and walk through their introduction material. Oanda is good as you can trade super small sizes.

 

This place here is too. And they have a policy about not advertising other websites, you know. Likely you never read the material you signed when signing up here?

 

Now, let me be straight. Welcome here. And trading is great. But do not expect riches fast - it is a long road and it requires hard work from your side. Finding out what sources are good is part of the education.

Hi Everybody,

 

Long time, been traveling from Bogota DC (Colombia) to Lima (Peru) 4500km of amazing time with myself and my Motorcycle getting to know new places and new friends on the way,

view?usp=sharing

I am back now with new forces to new times in the market a very noisy one, I was very happy to know I am on the road while the big market noise move went on, I am a trend follower and this was real high tide for Volatility surfers (once again I live next to the beach so Surfing analogs are here),

 

Today I would like to talk with you about Holy Grail, The Holy grail, many people think you can find a system where you will never lose or lose very little, well my idea is to find a system that won’t give you any Emotional pain, a system where you are out of the emotional risks and you are fully prepared to face them,

 

Let say you know that if you are shake out of the trade, you placed a hard stop got stopped and the stock move back exactly as you thought, what will you do? What your trading plan guid you to do? If you have nothing and you know you are good with this action no problem, but what if this is the trigger for 5 revenge trades that worth nothing but bigger loss?

 

You must learn from your past, when did you lost control? What happen? What where the cues? After you have them build an emotional system that will live you out of this pitfalls, here you can reach a holy grail because this time it is all up to you,

 

Hope you trading the way you choose and not dragging into trades for action,

 

Wish you all the best,

 

Make the odds in your favor

Hello. Newbie here. I have next to no knowledge in trading, but am very interested in learning. My apologies for my lack of vocabulary,,

 

An old associate of mine a few years back was successful with some type of daily trading, however, I don't know exactly what he was doing or what it is called. I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on what he was doing based on the very limited info provided.

 

He was always talking about what he was doing but is now a distant memory and I only recall minor details.... I remember him saying something about only being able to put up a maximum amount of $5k daily. The account was not available to felons. And, he would "get in" early in the morning when the market would open, do his thing and get out within minutes and he was done for the day. Also made mention of being able to see everything live with everything updating every second.

 

I realize this isn't much information. If anyone can help, that would be great!

 

Thank you

adouble,

 

If he is still alive, why don’t you ask him?

 

Without more info, all we could do is guess.

Re: “I remember him saying something about only being able to put up a maximum amount of $5k daily.”

If he was trading futures, most likely this was the maximum amount he allowed himself to lose per day. (this is not as likely, but if he was trading options, this may have been the maximum premium he allowed himself to buy (or sell) per day.)

 

Re: “The account was not available to felons.”

No help. We’re all felons now.

... Actually that is / was a ‘requirement’ / chkbox for futures (and options) accounts.

 

Re: “And, he would "get in" early in the morning when the market would open, do his thing and get out within minutes and he was done for the day. “

... sounds like this was some years ago... pre ‘machine driven’ days...

Basically, he scalped the open. In the first ~ 20 - 40 minutes - depending on the instrument - markets create an ‘opening range’ and most days they establish/ed this o range very quickly. This morning in indexes the o range was established in the first 6 min. after the open...

Some people have a knack for it. For some that knack is cyclical. For weeks or months, they get attuned and can ‘channel’ what the opening and the following few minutes will do... then the ‘gift’ fades away...ie they accumulate stress past what they can easily recover from and lose their resilience... and most of the time when that happens they give up and fade away too... instead of periodically testing for their own cyclicity coming back around. With practice you can get better at it.

There are 'technical' methods to catch these O breakouts / thrusts. (and there techs to catch the breakouts of the opening range after it has established...but that's a different topic...)

Either way...You need + 60% hit rate minimum to make it work. You need to be brutally quick to accept being wrong / losses ...

 

Re “Also made mention of being able to see everything live with everything updating every second.”

He had a live feed or live charts. Duh ;)

It has been a couple of years since I set up a new account. If I recall, there was a question concerning if you had ever defaulted on a trading account. Other than that, and as long as your money is good, I don't think they care... maybe, I'm wrong though. I think everyone is welcome once you've done your time...

 

After a good day, you may feel like you have committed a felony. After a bad day...?

hey everyone, i am from trinidad and tobago, and i am not a U.S resident, so many online trading websites do not let me use their websites because i am not a U.S citizen.

 

Any suggestions of websites that are international? But if there is an international website, that also lets you trade without a broker that would make things easier as well, but i will take whatever suggestions that you guys throw at me, because i am still learning and trying to find a trading platform....

 

But i am not a U.S citizen so it is hard......

Quantative Developer & Trader

Currencies & Commodities

 

Started out as a kid with Stocks

Later Spreads and Binaries

Futures & FX

 

i used to work in the City of London - i have developed systems from spreadsheet stock trading systems for institutions like GMS in the 1990s, some of the first online stock trading systems for Chase and various - to whole back office systems for Interbank FX for CLS - State street Corp etc..

 

 

Anyway i quit the regulated mind blowing rules and went out on my own in 2006 – As a trader and also developer – now I can be free to create and experiment and not care about things like SOX.

 

I run an online small company MicroTrends which offers solutions and products for retail and Commercial traders for NinjaTrader -also i work with hedge funds and private managed futures funds working in Fix API c# environments

 

I have some free developers/ traders tools for creating and powering strategies in NinjaTrader and if allowed i might post some details as i would like other developers to use them and feedback etc. These are unmanaged strategy libraries which allow a developer to simply enter the logic for Trade Setup, Filter & Exits - so with just a few lines of code - even a beginner developer can leverage off the shelf signal execution, filters, order management and automatic trade management and guide any strategy in real-time via a user interface - i have created a SDK and API with open source so it’s easy to see how to use it - some vendor/educators sell less able products for many 1000s - 5K, some are powered by MTDS - others that are not compared to this system has a tonne of features and options they can simply not write or provide - and its free for sim and development... It’s called the MTDS - i'm not quite sure if i can post details here yet - links or things etc.

 

This seems like a place perhaps where some trader/developers might like that idea.

 

What i will be doing is migrating this also to NT8 it will be great to get some people to use and try it and get involved – and for them to use it and based on feedback it can evolve

 

thank you

Hi,

New member of the TL Team as well. Started out just over 6 years ago and trade

Forex exclusively. In the beginning I made all the noob mistakes you read about, and

have several blown accounts to prove it. I then had the very good fortune of having an experienced trader take me under his wing and get me moving down the right path.

For the most part, I am a counter trend trader. I trade off the 1 minute thru 4 hour charts.

My favorite pairs are the GBP crosses.

 

In addition to trading, I love Sailing, Scuba, and Motorcycles.

 

I am new to Traders Lab as well. Been day trading for almost 2 yrs. Nice to know I'm not the only one who has blown my acct. ... more than once. Have found that getting to know my instrument helps a ton so I've stuck to CL for months now. I incorporate a system that follows "support and resistance" with a heavy "trend follow" design.

My mentor has helped me set up a "plan" that is working very well now. Like they say in "golf", I have to "groove my swing".

Hello,

I want to introduce myself to the community. I am recently released from prison a place where I was for fourteen years. During my stay there I learned about trading. I fell in love with trading and the markets, I am more geared toward technical analysis. I read over a hundred books on trading and have taken some courses. I studied, charted and back tested by hand many different things. I allowed myself personal study time of 4-6 hours a day seven days a week. I charted everything by hand for about a decade of my prison stay. I have a nice paper trading record. However we all know that paper trading is not the same as real trading.

 

I got my cherry popped in the real trading arena this past week. I was not prepared for the fast paced momentum of the price quotes on the lower time frames, but it was nice. I am with Global futures / Gain capital and plan on making this work for my profession. I won't take failure as an option. I would like to know if anyone can help point me in the right direction on a couple of things as I am new to everything. I was in a cage for 14 years, you can only imagine how blown away I am with all the new technology.

 

First of all I would like to know if anyone knows of any way I can keep trade logs with digital charts and voice recorder. What can I get for this and where can I get it. I have no problem cutting and pasting. I just don't want to keep a written trading journal anymore, I am looking to upgrade.

 

Second I would like to know of a good alert system on my Android phone to let me know if certain prices are hit.

 

I know these are simple things but just want to know if someone can help point me in the right direction. I am open to any other advice offered in the real of trading. You can reach me via email at

 

markettalk411@yahoo.com

 

I look forward to being a part of this trading community.

 

Thank you.

Well hey man... welcome back.

 

I'm a little surprised that they don't insist on more marketable skills training in prison. "Gawd damn tax money going for this nonsense" (but, I suppose that you needed to have something to do). Then again, we are all criminals in some regard, so you should fit right in.

 

You do understand that most folks fail at this business... kinda like crime.

 

With all due respect... I'll be picking your pockets sometime soon...

 

Best of good fortune to you.

I have gotten good results with a small Sony digital voice recorder and Dragon… been using the same recorder for 8+ years now … only replaced batteries once... useful for other things too.

New here as well. Not quite as interesting story to tell, but just one question for you if it's not too personal. How did you come up with the money to trade if you've been out for 14 years?

 

As for your phone alert system. If you sign up for a paper trading account from TDAmeritrade, you'll get access to their ThinkOrSwim charting system, which is pretty highly regarded. You can set all kinds of technical alerts in ToS. You can then install their mobile app on your Android phone and will receiver alerts through it as well.

Best of luck.

    • Date: 8th April 2025.   Markets Rebound Cautiously as US-China Tariff Tensions Deepen     Global markets staged a tentative recovery on Tuesday following a wave of volatility sparked by escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. The Asia-Pacific region showed signs of stability after a chaotic start to the week—though some pockets remained under pressure. Taiwan’s Taiex dropped 4.4%, dragged lower by losses in tech heavyweight TSMC. The world’s largest chipmaker fell another 4% on Tuesday and has now slumped 13.5% since April 2, when US President Donald Trump first unveiled what he called ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs.   However, broader sentiment across the region turned more positive, with several markets rebounding sharply after Monday’s dramatic sell-offs. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged over 6% in early trading, rebounding from an 18-month low. South Korea’s Kospi rose marginally, and Australia’s ASX 200 gained 1.9%, driven by strength in mining stocks. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 1.6%, though still far from recovering from Monday’s 13.2% crash—its worst day since the 1997 Asian financial crisis. China’s Shanghai Composite added 0.9%.   In Europe, DAX and FTSE 100 are up more than 1% in opening trade. EU Commission President von der Leyen repeated yesterday that the EU had offered reciprocal zero tariffs on manufactured goods previously and continues to stand by that offer. Others are also trying again to talk to Trump to get some sort of agreement that limits the impact.   Much of the rally appeared to be driven by dip-buying, as well as hopes that the intensifying trade war could still be defused through negotiations.   China Strikes Back: ‘We Will Fight to the End’   Tensions reached a boiling point after Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on all Chinese imports unless Beijing rolled back its retaliatory measures by April 8. ‘If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow... the United States will impose additional tariffs on China of 50%,’ Trump declared on social media.   If implemented, the new tariffs would bring total US duties on Chinese goods to a staggering 124%, factoring in the existing 20%, the 34% recently announced, and the proposed 50%.   In response, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued a stern warning, stating: ‘The US threat to escalate tariffs is a mistake on top of a mistake... If the US insists on its own way, China will fight to the end.’ The ministry also called for equal and respectful dialogue, though signs of compromise on either side remain scarce.   Beijing acted quickly to contain a market fallout. State funds intervened to support equities, and the People’s Bank of China set the yuan fixing at its weakest level since September 2023 to boost export competitiveness. Additionally, five-year interest rate swaps in China fell to their lowest levels since 2020, indicating potential for further monetary easing.   Trump Talks Tough on EU Too   Trump’s hardline approach extended beyond China. Speaking at a press conference, he rejected the European Union’s offer to eliminate tariffs on cars and industrial goods, accusing the bloc of ‘being very bad to us.’ He insisted that Europe would need to source its energy from the US, claiming the US could ‘knock off $350 billion in one week.’   The EU, meanwhile, backed away from a proposed 50% retaliatory tariff on American whiskey, opting instead for 25% duties on selected US goods in response to Trump’s steel and aluminium tariffs.     Volatile Wall Street Adds to the Drama   Wall Street experienced wild swings on Monday as investors processed the rapidly evolving trade conflict. The S&P 500 briefly fell 4.7% before rebounding 3.4%, nearly erasing its losses in what could have been its biggest one-day jump in years—if it had held. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank by as much as 1,700 points early in the day but later climbed nearly 900 points before closing 349 points lower, down 0.9%. The Nasdaq ended up 0.1%.   The brief rally was fueled by a false rumour that Trump was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs—rumours that the White House quickly labelled ‘fake news.’ The market's sharp reaction underscored how desperate investors are for any sign that tensions might ease.   Oil Markets in Focus: Goldman Sachs Revises Forecasts   Crude prices also reflected the uncertainty, with US crude briefly dipping below $60 per barrel for the first time since 2021. As of early Tuesday, Brent crude was trading at $64.72, while WTI hovered around $61.26.   Goldman Sachs, in a note dated April 7, lowered its average price forecasts for Brent and WTI through 2025 and 2026, citing mounting recession risks and the potential for higher-than-expected supply from OPEC+.       Under a base-case scenario where the US avoids a recession and tariffs are reduced significantly before the April 9 implementation date, Goldman sees Brent at $62 per barrel and WTI at $58 by December 2025. These figures fall further to $55 and $51, respectively, by the end of 2026. This outlook also assumes moderate output increases from eight OPEC+ countries, with incremental boosts of 130,000–140,000 barrels per day in June and July.   However, should the US slip into a typical recession and OPEC production aligns with the bank’s baseline assumptions, Brent could retreat to $58 by the end of this year and to $50 by December 2026.   In a more bearish scenario involving a global GDP slowdown and no change to OPEC+ output levels, Brent prices might fall to $54 by year-end and $45 by late 2026. The most extreme projection—based on a simultaneous economic downturn and a full reversal of OPEC+ production cuts—would see Brent plunge to below $40 per barrel by the end of 2026.   Goldman noted that oil prices could outperform forecasts significantly if there was a dramatic shift in tariff policy and a surprise in global demand recovery.   Cautious Optimism, But Warnings Persist   With both Washington and Beijing showing no signs of backing down, markets are likely to remain volatile in the days ahead.
