Thanks a ton, I'll check him out. If he is what I really need, I will think about using his services..
Because trading allows me to sit in front of the computer and allows me to utilize my own abilities to potentially make money in the financial markets.
You still haven't answered my question. I suspect the reason is that the real answer -- something along the lines of, "Because I wanna be rich-rich-RICH and the futs are my best shot at getting what I want" -- embarrasses you. If that is correct, I can tell you right now, Ryan Watts' course isn't going to get you where you want to go. (And, yes, I purchased Ryan's course -- back in the days when I thought I could buy the keys to the kingdom -- so I speak from direct knowledge...)
Well, from a mentor, I'm looking for someone who is just willing to sit down with me over the phone or in person and coach me about trading. I'd kinda look up to him/her as a role model for trading. He would help me place disciplined trades and such. I don't agree with the one-size fits all mentality these guys try to push, however, I accept that they do exist. I'm just looking for someone who is willing to go out of there way(like i would if i were as qualified) and help a very hungry up and coming trader. My trading style sadly varies, I don't have a solid approach to the markets yet. I use more of a day trading style when the time is right and swing trading style(if i'm losing a lot of money, lol) .. I just feel I am too chameleon sometimes with the markets and don't have a solid strategy in place. I trade the indexes and sometimes the euro(i used to trade the euro and crude oil a lot). My entries , I try to time those and get in now days at a good price so I can make a little more money from the start of the trade. Exits, I'd like to have those down and techincally defined soon. I should definatly put more focus into my exits though. I don't really use stops because I don't know if price is going to dip and come back(i've lost some money by that happening)Although I should use stops again. I hope all of this information helps. Take care, thank you and continue to ask those thought provoking questions. You definatly helped me answer some of my own questions. -BnB
The very thing you want, you will never find on ET. I think about your offer and I think it is hilarious. Run from this place, get a job at a firm like Goldman Sachs, Citadel, Susquehana, Timber Hill, a hedge fund, or a market making firm, or possibly a place like Bright Trading if your education does not allow other choices. Those people bring in money nearly every day FOR YEARS trading WITH VERY LITTLE RISK. Learn how it is done. All you will learn from people on ET is patterns, indicators and more useless crap. There are probably 50 people on ET worth listening to (I was going to write 10, but decided to be safe and make it a really big number). Not one of those people would take your offer seriously. Unless you stumble onto something by luck, you will go to your grave misunderstanding markets, and how to extract money from them. Even if you find a pattern or an indicator that works today, it will stop working and you are back to square one, or square minus one when you blow out if you don't realize it has stopped working. More likely, even if it does work, you probably won't have the confidence in it nor the capitalization to see it through. Heed what I put in bold letters above. Come back in two years and tell us what you learned. I am looking for specific words to come out of your mouth. If they don't, you learned nothing. See you in two years. nitro
Are you hanging onto daytrades that are losers and thus they become losing swing trades? If that's the case, you should stop doing this activity immediately. I could be mistaken, but it sounds from what you're saying that you're holding the ES overnight. You should not be establishing swing/position trades based upon failed intraday trades.
