I got that book The Disciplined Trader by Mark Douglas. I have only read the intro and the first chapter... but it seems really really good, and not like one of those boring books either. I don't know if you said you had it already or not.... but I'm enjoying it so far. If anyone else...

I can finally have relief, and the real test comes, and I can finally post some real results. Just happy to finally get it opened and over with.

Woohoo!!! My account is open! I just have to call tomorrow and get my trading platform configured and such, and then I guess by Friday... I'll be ready!!!!

Today in my class I was able to see my mentors screen, it's the only form of live charts I can see. I had to leave 2nd period almost the same minute that the last ditch effort by buyers to move price up failed. 10:45 is when my class ends. But at 11:25 or around that area, it was pretty...

Hey DJ... I had trouble with it as well... it was almost ... TOO easy. I was expecting a breakout as well and got stopped out on a trade and lost 9 points, but got it back to +7 points for the day, and stopped trading to rethink what I was doing. So don't feel bad, even I screwed up on the...

See,when I asked people too,about futures, the things they told me *Oh my god, you can't touch those, those are too advanced* etc.... I might have never touched them. My perception of it all was that ONLY the best, only the ones with lots of money and can accept huge risks are the ones that...

Oh no... I know that, I was trying to compare gains earned from equities vs. futures standpoint. I already did the equities game, I didn't enjoy it. Maybe if I'm successful with futures I'll try daytrading in equities again, but until I have 25k, it's almost useless unless just doing a longer...

Just checking out the P&L thread on the journals page. Just wondering... what is the biggest $$ gain for everyone in a single day. Around the equity trading, I guess it could average to around $200 - $500 per day, but some guys seem to pull in 30k in a single day. In simulated trading...

I didn't feel good today *worse in school*, but I got home and the price was at resistance so I shorted and exited as soon as I hit 20 points. So my 20 point goal was hit right on. EDIT: 20 Points total is my goal, not 20 points per contract, and 20 points total is what I got. If I felt...

Not sure... tell you the truth I have never tried wiring funds and don't have a clue how to do so. I'm only 18 afterall. I still don't have the slightest idea how taxes work either, so there is a lot to discover. But definately having fun. I made sure today I tried to put as much work as...

Are you trading actual forex or the furtures version of the Euro? I tried forex... it is tough stuff. But the futures version looks a lot better for some reason.

Should be 2k in my futures account. Maybe one day that might grow into 30k. EDIT: At least there should be in less than a week or so.

I agree... but, when trading with multiple contracts, it fits my strategy better, because it allows me to take profit on one, and secure that profit, and then let the other contract go for as long as it doesn't hit my stop, and it can possibly catch on a big gain. I must say I have been much...

20 points with both contracts = 40 total I could have had 60 - 80, but I wanted to try to get myself ready for real trading as much as possible, so I took profits early to be on the safe side. I don't see anything wrong with taking profits early, as long as you don't miss out on extremely...

+40 pts on 2 contracts traded in last hour on simulation with one trade. Just figured I'd share. my goal for every day this week is 20 pts.

I like the book listing. I'll definately pick up The Disciplined Trader and the Pitbull one as well. Off to school.

Yeah, I know... but a lot of people come here just to post trade results, and I can respect that... I just get carried away some times. I guess in some sense I don't have a right to help new people, if infact I can't prove I can trade myself. So I have that to look forward to myself within the...

But beyond his rudeness... he has got a point. I'll just leave this thread to discussion on YM. I guess posting charts and trying to help people belongs somewhere else. Sorry to anyone else that felt like I was distracting. That is the price to try and help people, always criticized...

18 years old... do some math. And thank you, I do intend to "get my ass in there" and trade. I don't expect anyone to give a crap about my mentor... because I appreciate what he does for me. Like I said, if everyone wants me to just keep quiet, I have no problem... I'm just trying to...

I heard major problems with QCharts. Esignal is 130 a month for me, but I do subscribe to a few extra data feeds. Again, just tell them FXCM or Alaron Trading is your broker in an e-mail, and they will give you $50 off your first 2 months. I actually really negotiated and forced them to...
