thanks for the post...yes, totally listening to and putting into practice much of what is shared..take the best and leave the rest...yes trading live and real now...trading futures...as for different products...yes, but any expert jumps back and forth before they find their specialty...please share your insight and what do you trade??
I officially invite and ask Fireplace to post real trades, charts and p&l blotter...you are welcome here! FP!!!
Any expert jumps back and forth before they find their specialty? Don't you mean any novice jumps back and forth before they find their specialty? If you don't commit to something long enough, whether it be a trading product, an indicator, a trading style, or a trading strategy you'll end up never giving anything a chance to work. You will be elated when it seems it works, but at the first sign of trouble you will abandon it and move on to something else without ever learning the intricacies of that particular indicator or product or whatever. You should pick something, probably one futures contract, maybe add 1-2 indicators max, and watch the same thing everyday. Screen time is irrelevant if you're looking at 10 different things and you're always changing things. I think that's called wasting time. I trade equities. I've never traded a futures contract and I probably never will.
you know TP...I totally agree with you...heading that way...ps--you need to trade Futures, once you do, you will never want to trade boring stocks again...
when, when, when, when, when, when will you start posting charts, trade results and p&l blotter...when!!!
If I wanted to go through the trouble of doing any or all of that I would have started my OWN journal! Time to 'get a clue' Inow
I trade for money and not for excitement. Stocks make more sense to me because there are thousands of stocks everyday that have potential to move. Even on the slowest, most least volatile days of the year there are good opportunities to make money in the stock market. For futures, if your product(s) aren't moving then you have no opportunity to make money. Stocks make more sense to me. Either way, the product that you trade is irrelevant if you do not make money. What is your style of trading? What is your strategy? Do you have a full-time job? Are you able to watch the markets that you're trying to learn how to trade all day? How long have you been trying to become a professional trader? Are you appropriately capitalized?
TrueProp, don't even bother. He will just lead you in circles with his answers. He isn't real, he's just some alias of some other user created merely for his perverse pleasure. People are strange!
