Hi I'm new to the game too, been trading since last spring. I found this place while chasing down information about Walter's icon trading system and fantail vma3.

Presently I'm trading at a break-even level, with now and then a few cents more. I have a little ability with MQ4, but don't really see the need to get too far down that road as MQ5 is apparently just round the corner.

I have a multitude of things I call hobbies, sculpting, knife-making, painting, writing, reading - fantasy, etc, etc. :)

Hi,

 

Long time reader / lurker. Started looking into trading several years ago. Left it for a while. Came back. Left again. Came back... I'm in the UK, and recently have been trading stocks over several days / weeks (swing trading).

 

I'm unsure what I can bring to TL that hasn't been already said by many posters who are vastly more experienced than me. But I know I ought to be a bit more active, so here I am.

your (and many other silent traders') participation is valuable because we all have different point of views, ideas

Hi there,

 

I'd like to start off a thread where everyone can post to say hello or ask a question. I personally am an experienced trader and not a beginner. However, being a new member of the TL team, I feel I do qualify!!

 

I trade E-mini futures mainly S&P 500. I am a full-time retail trader. My main concepts are auction theory and volume analysis. I try my best to listen to the market and control my basic human instincts!! :crap:

 

Cheers,

 

TheNegotiator.

 

Hello Everyone,

 

I initially started trading back in 1998 but stopped as the Internet Bubble crashed and I realized how little I knew about the markets and trading. Back then, all you had to do was throw a dart at any internet stock and you were almost guaranteed to make money on the uprising trend.

 

I stopped trading until this year, January 2012. My life is more stable and I am able to apply my efforts towards trading again, which I have really missed all these years.

 

I've still got a lot to learn, so gathering experience from others is important to me. As I get more comfortable and consistent with my trading, I intend to return the favor by helping others achieve that optimal trading state where they can be successful in their trading.

 

First, work on me and my trading, then help others...that's the goal, anyways.

 

I have limited my trading to ES,NQ for now. I have really appreciated the posts and comments from TheNegotiator, JoshDance, SoulTrader, gosu, Tams, roztom, and Steve46 just to name a few. These are the folks I have seen posting on the ES market. As I expand my focus area, I'm sure there will be plenty more people to add to my "thank you" list. The TL community is huge and I've only scratched the tip of the iceberg.

 

I look forward to being more active within the TL community.

 

Thanks,

 

CYP

this is the internet...

 

we have no ethnicity, no skin color differences,

 

no nationalistic allegiance, no political affiliations,

 

no religion, no oath, no vow,

 

no age, no gender, no sexual orientations,

 

maybe philosophical debates, but no care.

 

 

 

we are traders,

 

we have no enemies,

 

the market is our best friend.

 

any friend of the market is a friend of mine, too.

If you are on the other side of my trade, you are my enemy! :rofl:

 

MMS

 

I don't look at it that way...

 

 

the market is a BIG pool... you are only using a spoon to fetch a drink.

 

there is plenty to go around,

there is enough for everyone, and more.

 

 

so what if I am on the other side,

I am your enemy ONLY if I am taking money from YOU.

 

if you are taking money from me, then I am not your enemy, I am your enabler.

I am new to FX trading, trying a demo account.

I want to try one more demo account from another broker. My question may sound silly :)

Is it ok to download MT4 from 2 different brokers at same computer at same time?

Thanks for educated reply.

    • Date: 04th March 2025. Tariffs and OPEC+ Drive Oil Prices Lower.   Crude Oil prices fell 0.70% on Tuesday declining closer to the asset’s main support level. OPEC’s latest announcement has been one of the main drivers of lower prices. OPEC, which produces 40% of the world’s Crude Oil, surprisingly has increased oil production. However, other economic factors are also triggering a lower demand. OPEC Increases Supply Pressuring Prices OPEC+ confirms it will increase production and market output in 2025 despite prices declining for six consecutive weeks. The move from OPEC is primarily driven by pressure from the US administration to not purposely look to lower production in order to keep prices high. OPEC+ will boost oil production by 138,000 barrels per day starting in April, causing crude prices to drop. The move has become possible with Russia expecting the Ukraine-Russia conflict to end in 2025 and the US’s more favourable approach towards Russia and Saudi Arabia. This marks the first of several monthly increases, aiming to restore 2.2 million barrels per day by 2026 after a two-year pause. The higher output will increase supply and can significantly change the balance between supply and demand. As a result, Crude Oil prices have fallen, particularly as economic data globally has taken a hit over the past month. Over the past six weeks, Crude Oil prices have fallen by more than 10%. However, the move by OPEC is related solely to the supply within the market. Simultaneously, trade wars are also worrying traders about how demand may change in the upcoming months.     US Turn Up The Heat on Trade Wars The US tariffs on Mexico and Canada are now officially active, taking the level of tariffs to its highest level since the 1980s. President Trump has also advised the US to add a further 10% tariff on China in addition to the 10% announced in January. As a result, experts believe the global economy is likely to witness shockwaves in the short to medium term. This can also be seen in the stock market which has fallen 5% over the past 3 weeks. The economic slowdown is catching up with rising inflation and tariffs which are put into place. Uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s next moves is growing with some economists advising the Fed may be pressured into taking earlier. In response to the additional tariffs, China is vowing to take countermeasures to protect its producers. Warren Buffett called the tariffs an extra tax on people with little economic benefit. Weaker economic activity and a lower risk appetite within the market are known to pressure prices significantly. During the previous Trump administration and ‘trade tariff policy’ the price of Crude oil fell 13%. Crude Oil - Technical Analysis The price of Crude Oil in the longer term is obtaining indication the price may decline. On a monthly chart, the price forms a clear descending triangle which is known to hold a bearish bias. On the 2-hour chart, the price is also trading below the 75-bar Exponential Moving Average, below the VWAP and below the neutral areas of most oscillators. For this reason, momentum is indicating downward price movement. However, the main concern for bearish traders is the support level which is sitting at $66.70 per barrel. The support level is currently 1.50% points away from the current price. In order for sell signals to materialise in the short term, traders will be monitoring if the price can break below $67.69.     Key Takeaway Points: OPEC+ plans to boost production in 2025, aiming to restore 2.2 million barrels per day by 2026, pushing crude prices lower. The US imposes record-high tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, raising concerns about global economic stability and market declines. Crude Oil prices decline as a result. Rising tariffs and inflation add uncertainty, with economists speculating the Fed may act sooner than expected. Technical analysis shows a bearish trend, but the price of Crude Oil is also nearing the key support levels at $66.70 per barrel. Always trade with strict risk management.
