Hi,

I use to trade a while ago, but that wasn't trading it was just pushing buttons in a random fasion without regard to money, rules or understanding of anything. Over the past couple of months i've started trading on sim and trying to develop an understanding for what happens on the market.

I hope to become an active trader in the ES futures and make a little bit of money as well.

 

I really hope that i can learn and grow my understanding of trading and I am pleased to read and watch articles and video's here on TL.

 

 

any constructive advise is always welcome.

Thanks, and happy trading.

Arthur.

Hi,

 

I am new to the forum.

I have been trading for about 15 years now - mostly the European markets and have recently started looking at the S&P future.

I think we are living in very interesting times right now and I am looking forward to discussing current events and market forecasts with you guys.

I've been lurking this forum since January, and now that I am trading live I have decided to begin contributing to the community by actively posting. This forum in general promotes a positive atmosphere, which is refreshing.

 

My methodology:

 

I trade the ES with a 5min candlestick chart as my primary tool for entries/exits, and I'll jump from 30min down to 1min to help understand the market's action. I do not have a specific "setup" I trade. Instead, I watch the opening and try to develop a hypothesis of the type of day me might experience. Once I have a strong conviction, I then attempt to enter the market at a point that provides the minimum adverse movement to a price that would disprove my original idea. If my trade idea turns out incorrect, then I will wait until I come up with an alternative and then attempt to time a low risk entry.

 

My market "ideas" are based off my SIM trading experiences, in which I went through all of 2011's and 2012's market replay data (some month's multiple times) from Ninjatrader.

 

My trade management techniques are still a work in progress, and objectively they are the weakest part of my trading. I am still experimenting with a method for taking profits that suits my personality.

Welcome,

 

I trade the ES as well and mainly used the 15 and 5 min candle stick chart.

 

I am trading Sim and defining a method for myself as well. http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/wyckoff-forum/13708-trading-journal-trading-log.html

 

With the replay action on Ninga trader, can I change the speed to 5, 15 min candles, or do i have to sit the entire min by min action?

[papageo 10]

Ninjatrader is free as long as you don't trade live from it, and you can adjust the playback speed from 1X up to a few 100X (market data is available to download after the market closes each day). I didn't watch an entire year's worth of data at 1X of course, I would vary it from 4-8X during volatile periods up to 20-30X during slower times.

As I said in the Day Trading the E-mini Futures thread, it's nice to have you join in! I hope you benefit from some of the ideas and trades we talk about and I'm sure you'll have something to add. Welcome to TL.

[Mysticforex 13]

Welcome Papageo . Always good to have another contributor.

[Duckets 10]

Day trading the e-minis is one of the most lucrative markets other than the currencies to trade. I started out trading the ES then the TF and now the 6E & YM. Using two time frames the 450 tick for direction and the 150 for entries have worked well for me. Having a good trading system you BELIEVE in is essential for profitable trading. Starting out trading 2 contracts is a very good way to test how your trading discipline & trade management skills will develop.First contract is usually set 5-10 ticks/pips from open locks in a profit (while building up confidence) and the second contract used as a "runner" with a trailing stop however you set it up auto or manually.

Actually, I am new to this field. And, I will go for long investment. To target an income form stock increase ( in size and dividends.)

 

I have not studied economy but I think I am not a blank page.

Hi there,

 

Just found this site from a Google search.

 

My main interest is in programming Forex EAs, with the emphasis on short term predictions.

 

Have a little website with a page (free to access) called HotMovers.

 

It shows currency pairs which are starting to move within the last ten minutes. I'd appreciate any suggestions to improve the page, or anything else that you guys would like included !

Happy trading,
