I get that. Seems the tone is pretty rough, not at all necessary or helpful. Some people just get off on cutting others down. This has turned into a garbage fire, and all I wanted was someone to be congenial and offer to look at a few of my trades, I did not know you post it first and let...

Wow you guys are harsh. I have done live forex trading so I am well past the emotional stage. Not at all going to find some third-rate forex broker and open a crappy little account. I did fairly well with live forex, but just wanted some help with futures. I was just trying to ask if anyone...

Overnight, I am not the noob you might think I am, and I do know the difference between all of those things. I know futures is not forex, I know the capital requirements for futures trades ($6,610 for 1x contract of /YM thru TDAmeritrade), and I know the difference between market orders and...

I am currently paper trading 10 contracts in /YM, not one, just looking at how much capital I would need to trade live. Not feeling squeamish at all, made $7,603 today including selling /YM when it was high before Fed announcement, and trading it for $6,800 as $DJI shed like 700 points after the...

I love trading futures but need a much larger account to start with live, one contract of /YM requires like $6,600 in margin. But feeling very good using what I learned trying to trade FOREX and applying that to futures.

I was trading FOREX on paper for 18 months, recently gave that up and have moved on to futures, primarily the /YM emini. Having incredible success with it in thinkorswim papermoney, doing so well I am wondering if there is something about futures I am missing. So I am looking for someone who...

thanks rtiger29, great info

well wide tailz, as a pilot myself, based on your pics, I will take the sim any day. 787 Dreamliner rocks.

Thanks for the info.

PKTS, thanks for the well-worded reply...very good intel. I am getting hammered as a brainless idiot on another post on ET for asking what I though was a legit question, so consider yourself the classiest commenter I have met on here today.

Thanks for the polite and decent reply, Don. Yes I will thicken my skin. Unless people like SteveNYC post the crap like he posted above yours. He must exist just to hurl insults. Steve, I might be missing a brain, but you my friend have zero class. I was asking a legit question.

Don I guess I read this forum wrong. It seemed like a place where an admitted rookie could go to communicate with some professionals about how to get good information on trading. Instead, Most replies like yours have been snarky and sarcastic like you have to prove a point to a noob. I already...

PKTS, TY for real comments, they are quite helpful. I really want to find a way to get onto a system where I can trade in exactly the same way I would in real world, in terms of speed, executions, fill prices etc. So far, nothing but zeroes. So how does a rookie trader get started...open an...

Thanks Western, that is exactly the feedback I was looking for.

I have dabbled in virtual paper trading for years, but only recently got serious and learned how to read charts. Before was just playtime, lately I have gotten very serious about trading on Marketwatch.com's Virtual Stock Exchange (VSE). My goal is to one day day trade for real. I've been...

Hitnrun, can you give me some names, links to research? Seems every firm has some good reviews some awful...how can anyone find a good, legit firm to trade with?

I am just now starting to do some due diligence on a possible prop trading firm I would like to use, Broad Street Trading. I see decent reviews, and the person who I've been communicating with via email has explained everything pretty well so far. Here's my problem. Being new to this type of...
