Introduce Yourself Here - Don't Be Shy!!

[ianp 10]

Hi,

 

I am new as well.

[torero 10]

welcome both! Have fun on this forum!

[Marvin Zark 10]

I am a newbie here. I discovered this website not long ago and I find it terrific.

 

My primary interest are the futures markets and more specifically: ES, YM, Bund and ESTX50

 

I trade basically relying on price action: swing highs and lows analysis and classical patterns as wedges, pennants, flags,etc..

 

Regards and good luck at the markets.

Welcome to the site Marvin!

[Tex 10]

I finally figured it out! You have to post a new thread to do this in here.

 

I'm enjoying browsing through this forum. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of the site.

 

I have been a full time trader for 9 1/2 years now. I've tried about everything and have still not found my niche. I've traded stocks and options via a broker and realtime on my own swing trading and scalpiing. I've tried various platforms, chat rooms, pay sites, books, training, etc. I'm more confused now than ever. I don't trust anything.

 

I've gone though a lot of money and can't afford much more. I think the answer for me is in trading the e-mini's and understanding the levels and price action. I'm trying to understand about MP. That's what lead me here.

 

It looks like it is going to cost $249 to get MP on NinjaTrader charts. I'm trying to figure out if I would actually use it. :hmmmm:

 

Anyway, thanks for the forum. It's great! :applaud: I don't know if I actually have anything worth contributing at this point. I think I said more that I intended now.

Hi Tex,

 

Welcome and hope you get some answers to put things together to turn your trading career around.

 

Please remember that moving to different stocks, eminis or whatever won't improve your chances, it's understand the market and yourself that will change your trading. Good luck!

Would like to introduce myself. Found this site after searching for DAX market information and was surprise to see the striking difference when compare to other Trading Forums. It really cached my attention, will explain that later.

 

I have been following and trading the Bond Market since 1994 after completing a very basic course with Ken Roberts Comm. Trading. Developed a swing trading habit, basically buying the deep corrections of the 90's bull market trend in the T-Bonds Futures, this Up-Trend was a reaction to the 9 consecutive moderate economic reports concluding the Fed had created a "Soft Landing in the Economy" and it was a very reliable uptrend.

 

It was so easy to do that I became overconfident and sometimes did not even use stops, which is one of the worst habits that a beginner trader can develop. But was fortunate to correct my mistake before the big drop in Jan-1995 when the Bond Market began to make a Head and Shoulder Formation in the Weekly.

 

The uptrend now in the Bonds is a no brainer because of the coming Economic Recession and should be bought after a five handle( points) pullback just like in 1994.

 

Now the only market that I follow and trade are the ZB and ES. Swing trading the ZB and day-trading and scalping the ES using price action, Candlesticks, and Support/Resistance Pivots, Market Internals, Nasdaq, RSI ( 2), Commitments of Traders, COT. and other reliable free online advisories.

 

I agree with “Ashmat” post that the frequent negative responses in other Trading Forums is a big turn-off for many legitimate Traders wanting to contribute valuable advice.

 

This site has the best overall ratio and mix of new traders and experienced professionals traders, much better than other Forums. In other sites there are too many inexperienced traders and they all seem to want to learn from each other. Is like the blind leading the blind, and very few real good traders, lol.

 

Congratulations to Soultrader,

 

My Regards to all

From Palm Beach, FL.

Hi Ket.......!

[Trvlwanderer 10]

Hi folks. I've lurked a while, but by no means a new trader. I trade AAPL, RIMM, ICE, and GOOG almost daily for intra-day swings. Been profitable for quite a while now. Have "invested" for many years, trading for a few. Looking at futs and always learning and adjusting. Couple of the other forums I subscribe to are getting a little sloppy in content.

 

I've enjoyed catching up on the threads....I hopefully can post some quality content that may be of use.

Know that IT is big in India now, do you use a local broker and data service.

 

How are your Internet broadband service providers? both servicewise and costwise.

 

Some of the folks I know are investing in properties in the booming seaside resort of Goa, and spend 3-6months there, might join them, wonder if trading will be easier from there or not? hence the queries on Broadband providers and brokers. which markets do you trade.

You may want to download a useful little program called Irfanview. It will let you play .swf files and view images as well.
