Hello everyone!

I'm pretty much a newbie in the light of all your knowledge and experience. I am a student studying Accounting and Finance with a fascination for everything investment related. I have purchased a few stocks with what little funds I have but no more really than just to say I own some shares haha. I have run a few virtual portfolios on Investopedia for about a year and a half now, and recently tried my hand at their FX trading simulator. I'm fairly good at appraising common stocks using various financial ratios and financial statements but am still lacking much knowledge on the technical analysis part. I have learnt a bit about candlestick charts and such techniques as the fib retracement patterns. I know I have so much more to learn and I look forward to reading and contributing on this site with you all!

Been looking for a good trading forum for ages!

Welcome Karim! It's important to try to identify the objectives for your strategy before deciding which methods to employ. Make sure once you do decide on your methods, you understand fully how they work. There is a danger that new investors/traders chop and change methods in order to find that "secret sauce" or "holy grail". What they often miss is that it's more about themselves. Good luck in your investing/trading and enjoy the forums!

Hi Everybody! New to the site, but have been trading and mentoring traders for many years. I love the thrill of microcap trading... I know, call me crazy--but it is exciting finding the right stock and watching the money grow so quickly....

Hope to make lots of trading friends and that we can learn from each other. :2c::2c::2c:

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site as of today. i find it very interesting and hope that it maybe can help me with my trading woes. I started trading S&P minis about 18 months ago and have blown my small account two or three times. At this point, I've stopped trading with hopes to continue at some point in the near future. I really love trading, but i wish i could do it and make a profit. Luckily, i have a full time job and have been able to survive the losses. Last round of trading i felt i was making progress, but then lost all profits in a matter of a couple of days.In looking around this website, i see that others have had the same experiences. Thank you all for sharing them. I hope this site gives me the inspiration to continue trading soon. thanks.

Welcome to TL Joe! Lots of people have had similar experiences to you. It's almost as some say, the cost of a trading education. Just make sure you learn the lessons well. If you keep getting the same results, then there may be something you are missing. Members here are experienced and always generous with sharing their knowledge, so if you have something you're unsure of, just ask! Pop over to the e-mini thread link in my sig if you still want to trade the eminis.

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
