just really bored here... stopped trading for today and i'm just killing time. what are you trading and what are your thoughts/experiences? me: trading s&p e-minis. been trading for about 2 months. it really frustrated me at first... well it still does but i'm SLOWLY improving. i've had...

well, they fired the TA research team because they weren't worth it. it doesn't mean that their knowledge is rubbish do you plan on taking the next 2 levels? how was the difficulty of the exam? buying those books must have cost you quite a bit. especially murphy's book

well i don't think it's a scam. some employers do recognize it. it's affiliated with the canadian securities institute as well which speaks for itself. i think the problem has more to do with the fact that they just tell you to read a bunch of books that you can buy at indigo and charge you a...

"What kinda companies would require CMT in order to get hired?" maybe not a requirement but a strong asset

thanks. the program is pretty expensive given the cost of the books. i guess what this program does is force you to read the books. alright, so the knowledge aquired is a given... has the (or pursuing) designation helped in finding a job?

CMT - chartered market technician has anyone gone for this designation? i'm not particularly as interested in the street value (resume credential) of this program than the relavent information needed to improve my trading. of course, it's always good to add credentials the website is...

thanks man. no i'm not experienced. i understand that you can lose a lot of money in the futures. a bad idea for a beginner. i assumed that you said that swift trade is a bad place to trade futures because there's another firm that may offer a better profit split

well you have the potential for income whereas paper trading does not. also, just like paper trading, there is no capital risk. trading futures takes a lot of money. why not have a company provide that for you?

why is it not the best place? you incure no risk at swift trade other than no income. wouldn't it be a good place to learn? what other places do you suggest?

what do you guys think of trading futures at swift?

i'm new to trading. can you explain to me why that would be scalping? it seems like going up 2 and 3/4 handles is a lot. isn't scalping "going in and out" very quickly? when i scalp i try to take 2 ticks and i'm good. to each his own i guess but going up 2.75 would take quite a while. what is...

thanks drock for the first positve reply, i appreciate it i'm still learning

LMAO. it's funny how people continue to nitpick at insignificant things. you obviously know nothing about the investment consulting industry. i was working behind the scenes as a student and i become an investment advisor upon graduation. it is 98% sales. you really know nothing until you...

*sigh* i just wrote a long ass post but my PC froze. the point that you're bringing across is not harsh, the means is harsh. no need to be rude, but hey, maybe that's just how you operate. remember i'm new to trading (1 week). i'm slowly becoming aware of the trader's culture. it's a...

wow! people are harsh here! you don't have to share if you don't want to. i was just going along with the alien joke that lefty brought up. no i'm not an alien nor an investment advisor (anymore at least). to be honest, i just quit as an investment advisor because as many of you may know, it's...

i would hope to take one strategy back to my homeland in a far away galaxy. i have 8 kids to feed and one has to go for chemo but i bought a plasma tv instead.

please share your strategies on how to successfully trade these contracts 1 at a time. i have level II and charts. i have my strategy that involves watching for hammer formations and confirming it with the occilator, MA, and breakouts but i would like to know more advanced stuff. even some...

mike is correct. you're 16 so it's absolutely great that you're starting early. however, make sure you build a strong foundation

hey man, i really think you should read up on how to trade before you actually start doing it. do you have a time horizon in mind? you have to define that before you come up with a strategy. the best thing you can do is read.
