    Quitting Trading

    Alright listen closely. Firstly, no reason to be cash. You must first prove yourself in sim than you can move onto cash. Secondly, go read the AHG thread from beginning to end before you place another trade. Than apply those concepts to the ES or ER2 or whatever your trading using a normal chart...

    Youngtrader's Commodity Journal

    I've been good. Still day trading NQ. It depends on your definition of day trading. There are usually 1-2 intraday trends with the NQ. I place like 3-5 trades a day trying to catch just one of those big moves. So I mean imho, if you are trading 1 minute, 5 minute, or 1 day charts, PA is PA. But...

    NinjaTrader 6.5 Released with Expanded Brokerage Support!

    I'm using ninja 6.0 and have used 6.5. It's great expect for one thing that annoys me. Is there anyway to have it save the workspace exactly like I closed it. Like lets say I open a daily chart, 15 min char, 5 min chart. I close ninja. Re-open it. It opens it like 5 min, 15 min, Daily or some...

    Taking 103K to 1.2million by Year End 2008

    Made a 6.7K gain shorting FSLR on Monday. After that I could do nothing right. Every thing I touched went against me. Add to that inability to get out of a losing position, instead averaging in, and panic exits, and that summarized the forgettable week. Devoting more time to getting my automated...

    High schooler wants to trade the YM

    Consider trading an ETF like the SPY or QQQQ with a prop firm. If you say you are consistent paper trading than I guess no reason to try live. Make sure you are consistent for a few months at least though. Best of luck.

    YT It's been a pleasure reading your journal and I wish you only the best for the future. Someday you will be a top dog, no doubt. As far as prop firms go, in my opinion, they are good for equities guys. Us futures traders already get a lot of leverage and as far as commissions they are all...

    Trading e-minis with $1k starting capital

    Best of luck to you. But its gonna be extremely difficult to not blow out even if your the best trader in the world. Why not trade an ETF? 100 shares of SPY versus 1 contract of the ES will keep you in the game longer.

    WILL MISS this market!

    I think you are confused. Las Vegas is in Nevada not in New York.

    I don't get it, why are you not including commissions? They are an expense that must be accounted for. Gross profit doesn't mean anything.

    Nice ES trade man. If I had to choose, I'd go with Chicago. Main reason is because of the better schools and also because its a nice city where you can enjoy your college years. Plus you can always trade from you dorm room. I personally don't see much benefit in going to the pits as you already...

    Agreed. By updating us I don't mean posting your trades just your P/L will do. You can post your trades if you wish but the P/L will do all the talking.
