    Normal initiation into this community, weed out the un-serious. This is mild compared to what some of us went through.

    If you are serious, keep coming back, don't ask for general help, ask specific trading questions and you will get much better receptions and answers.

    Also, read, read and read as many trading books as you can, not for their recipe but there are some general principles that any successful trader has to follow and if you can follow them you will find your footing.

    On ET read the Journal section and learn what to do and what not to do.

    Take care.

    You make it look so easy:

    Buy Support,
    Sell Resistance,
    Chase Breakouts,
    Trade with Stops

    I've heard that before I think!

    AI2trader,

    I think the posters encouraging you to focus on your education to develop a solid vocation while continuing to read books related to trading are offering sound advice.

    There are threads in this forum where members have described books that were helpful to them. You can find them by searching thread titles. As an example the text below is something I posted a while ago.

    Kaufman's Trading Systems and Methods book was suggested earlier in the thread and it is outstanding and definitely worth the time it takes to go through it, but probably best to start with simpler books first.

    "I have read many books. Some were good primarily because they were very interesting/ entertaining (e.g., Pit Bull, Winner Take All, Liar's Poker, Schwager's Market Wizard books, Confessions of a Street Addict, Running Money, Trend Following, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Evidence-Based Technical Analysis, Hedgehogging, Fooled By Randomness and several others).

    There were only a few that I thought were extremely practical, so much so that I would recommend them to a new trader. The most immediately useful ones that I wish I had been able to read when I started out are probably Weissman's Trading Like a Casino, Elder's How I Trade For a Living, Chande's Beyond Technical Analysis (2nd ed.), Tharp's Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom, and possibly the psychology and performance-related books of Mark Douglas and Brett Steenbarger. I don't agree with everything written in these books, but I believe that they have a lot of good, practical advice that makes them among the best that I have seen."

  4. Thanks for the advice, I'll take note and read them later. I've already started Kaufman's. Do you know who could coach me?

    You have your journal while I have my live trades. But unlike you, who is rigid as hell, I know how to flip forward and backward and everything else in between. :sneaky:

    Nevertheless, everything checks out fine in the end, so we're all cool. Now go back to your YouTube porn and leave me alone in peace.

    你可以看看这个市场中什么是正确的榜样。像所有普通人一样,试图找到从交易中发财的秘诀是绝对错误的。每个人的成功都是因为他拥有一定的资源。这不是你看到的因为天赋、努力或坚持。我在一家证券公司工作,所以我很清楚它是什么

  7. That is natural honestly to be facing losses early on, your determination to progress and learn at this age is amazing. Kudos.

    A few problems with your post.

    1. You use the word "nigga" instead of "nigger". Proof positive you are a newbie to online shit, because your use of the word "nigger" here would have been totally appropriate.

    Because you don't know shit.

    2. The music I post is not shitty, It is older than you, wiser that you, and maybe you should listen to it. NEVER judge music by the title cover. It is generationally above your ken, and you could learn shit from it. That is why I post it, you dumb punk. Try learning some shit.

    Step off, you white nigger.
