Hi all, I'm a fit, active and healthy male who've had no problems to speak of until recently when I've found myself being chronically fatigued in my forearms along with significant joint pain. I believe it must be the dreaded 'mouse arm' or tendonitis and I got it after a very long period of...

Cool. You use it both intraday and EOD? Do you find the news feature useful? Also, do you know if trades are aggregated? Not sure if it's an universal problem, but I'm an all in/all out trader and when trading multiple lots, my orders typically are split. If I'm not filled the same second...

Hi, Have you been using Journalytix since this post? I don't find much about it here on ET. Considering it... Best, Howard

So far, so good. Informative and entertaining. It reads a lot better than Liar's Poker which was a snore.

I ordered a bunch of Schwager’s books, but not sure I’m getting them by tomorrow. Did anyone read Flash Boys by Michael Lewis? Worthwhile? Or maybe I should rather re-read The Brothers Karamazov...

I'm very eager to start doing this and start doing it right, i.e., through Fundseeder, but they currently do not support my brokerage. I've contacted them to see if it's possible somehow. Uploading data manually does not seem like a good option. Does it have to be 2000 or 3000 contracts? :)...

Thank you for your reply, raVar. Well, I'd use it to both track performance/build a track record and also the possibillity of raising capital at some point in time. Why 3 years? Is that some kind of industry standard? It seems a bit arbitrary to me. Trading style and frequency should also...

Any news on this operation? Considering signing up.

Lol. Okay.

Interesting, @Real Money Thanks.

Any good books similar to the Market Wizard series that are actually good? Those were among my favorites in the past. Never got around to read the latest one. I believe it was focused on stock traders.

Does anyone have experience with FundSeeder or similar?

My new trading rig. Replaced my laptop + dual 24 inch setup with Dell’s ultrawide 49. Driven by my laptop which is mounted below my desk for a clean and neat workspace.

I'm not sure. It depends on how you define 'strategy'. I can trade both breakouts (buy high and sell higher) and I can trade mean reversion, i.e., fade highs and lows. Without telling any secrets, I buy/sell based on historical scenarios/patterns and targets are adjusted accordingly. And yes, in...

If you genuinely care, you can read the other comments I've made in this thread. I already answered.

Well summed up, imjohn. I've made sufficient preparations over the last two years, both trading wise (learning and developing trading tools) and in saving up money, but I feel my progression has come to a slow grind now and that if I am to have a chance at this at all, I need to give it my full...

So, you also quit your job to pursue (day) trading? What was the outcome...? If you read the OP and my other posts, it should be obvious that I'm well prepared and have been at this for a long time now.

And that's why it's unlikely that you will ever become successful as a trader yourself. It's all about the willingness to take risk. Most people ain't willing to take that risk or do what others don't. They want security, they want guarantees and they want to be told what to do and when to do...

It seems like most people underestimate the difficulties of trading. I took years off. I decided I would never trade live again until I had something I really believed in. And even now, I have realistic expectations and know it's possible I might not make it. And that's after a ton of...
