hehe, Porgie..... I'm so far loosing 100% of the time. Wednesday: -100 11 trades World was spinning, having trouble with CQG Trader, actually screwed up a few times on working it. Thursday: -50 3 trades Too many distractions... including cats under the house, a cable guy came over, and...

3 of the trades stops were hit which would have been 15+ point gains on each trade, I was not thrilled with that. 2 of them where just broken support and resistance and didn't stand a chance. -70 on the P&L, -100 including commissions. I got the patience, I got the knowledge, I am doing...

Not worth posting. 3 Trades for $-15 ($-30 including commissions) on the YM (Mini-Dow) Still waiting to pull the trigger and let loose.

My first P&L post of my daily trading. -55 -100 after including commissions. My stops got hit in early trading, so I quit early obeying my daily stop loss of $100. Missed a lot of action, but staying disciplined.

Anyone wanna chat in the chatroom? I'll be there.

Tried stocks, forex and futures. I like futures the best. But I love to always be in on the action and like the way the YM moves and have been studying the price movements. Plus it is the first market where I feel I'm on level footing. Not being screwed over by the brokers, or by rules like...

"I'm not sure if I'm right, but is it true futures/options are much better than stocks (when you know how to trade well in futues/options markets!)?" Again.... you are asking us, when there is no right answer. I say that everyone that trades Forex is a nutcase.... but if those nutcases...

Search Function is always good.... but what do I know.

To add to the last post... read books... but make sure you read Mark Douglas' books. Don't waste money on books that try to teach you to daytrade using pointless indicators that are lagging. Either way, good luck to you. I respect anyone that does this and is successful. As the people...

Do you have a strategy, plan, or any experience in the markets. Or did you just decide that you want to be a trader and you could do your own thing or work for a firm? Just curious, because if you have no experience, trading plan, or strategy, then you have MUCH bigger problems that you will...

Hey everyone, I'm still alive, just had someone PM me to check how I was doing. Short story is, school is done the end of this week. I start live trading in february, and this is where I can really say my career as a trader is really going to take off, or crash and burn. I will figure...

Well said and true completely true.

Plus... when you asked this question... does it really make any sense? What are you looking for then. Do you want what everyone has told you about futures, or do you want to stick with equities. It just seems like you are asking others to make the decision for you. It won't make you a...

Like I said before... why don't you just open up an account and try? Is that a problem for you to do? Open up an account at greenstreet.com if you need to or something. Put in 2k, and see if you like it. Or use a simulator, and any broker I'm sure will let you try trading them on sim...

Futures (I trade the YM for example) will amplify your profits, and your losses. It's where you got to be quick, and ready for anything, and if you can't react, or you have to think about getting out of a bad trade or have any problems with being at the screen all the time to monitor your...

Drop that thought immediately, or quit now. Don't.... even THINK, about making money, and stop now while you are ahead. If you think you are going to make money any time soon, you better be one of the more lucky people in this world, and be able to hold on to your shoes.... or you will fail...

Ah yes, and 1 week and 1 day remaining of school, and then I'm free to trade and post P&L, like I have been hoping for the past 4 or so months. So I will indeed be posting my P&L of trading the YM. Good luck to all.

The $$$ signs are what is driving you right now. You will fail once you see that you will not be making money any time soon. Sad, but true, no need to waste anymore time.

Chill people, go get a drink or something :P

What are you using to determine your entries and exits. Indicators, S&R, Flipping a coin... what? So far you are trading a system.... but any information would actually make this thread useful, how you are trading, how many trades you average per day, and yap yap yap. But good going so...
