There are dozens of stock forums out there to chit chat about nothing. I joined ET to learn about trading futures and commodities from folks that know. This can be challenging when negativity reigns supreme.
What is all this "I don't share" stuff? Why? Do you really think anything shared here makes one lick of difference in the bigger picture? Do you really think if you tip your hand the S&P or DOW is gonna move?!!! Secret systems? WTF?!!! I am laughing my ass off. Come on... get a life. If you were that good, you would not be withering away time here. Am I not right?
Ya'll need to lighten up. Lets all make money together.
JS.... you go. Good on ya.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." -F.B.
"Lets all make money together."
That's cute to read, but in futures that is not possible, at all, only in stocks can all make together until that one day and huge trader or company going to force market other way.
Here are my facts I have learned the hard way, I could post all my charts for past year to you on day trading and it never be enough cause unless you understand chart reading better than you can thread a needle blindfolded thousand times, it not going to happen. Day trading was the hardest thing in the world for me to accomplish and it has helped me in so many other ways, in so many ways. Hell, it is very easy to find places to enter, but unless you can read charts, you be entering at wrong places. Learning long term better first, let's good rules sink into brain and have all night to think about trade whereas day trading seconds. Too many people think sitting and watching screen is fun, I never found it fun, nerves on edge, rather do anything else and going to soon. Set it and forget it as Ron Popeil would say.
I never wanted to learn about programming and about risk, well...I learned about it and in 8 more trading days, guess what, I won't be manually trading any more, going to have a new life. Prison term almost over, YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO.
You want to learn how to long term trade commodities, one guy who worked at Commercial that I was applying for a job told me to think about a Bell Curve and that's what they did, so I did exactly that, stay out of the middle and go in opposite ends and hedge. I have posted ongoing trades over months on Cattle, Feeders and Hogs which are very tough markets to trade, nobody likes slow trading which is great, boring is money.
You want to learn an extremely boring way of trading, learn Spread trading, Bone one of the best.
No one going to give your money a second thought, best you do.
