Back in action today after the Thanksgiving time off. Ended up salvaging my day, but not efficient at all. 23 trades. Got messed up bad in this sideways action this morning. Traded into lunch period when we started getting better movement. image I ...

Probably legit. I would message them on their site or call them to confirm. Basically, you were hedging i think based on their email and I don't know how you even could hedge on futures because taking the opposite trade would just close out your ...

More contracts makes it easier, but I guess it doubles your trouble too when you are wrong. Last time I did the futures, i worked my way up to doing 2-3 contracts, but that didn't work out so good for me. I haven't figured out yet how much I want in ...

I'm trying something new I haven't ever done in the past- taking withdraws. Withdrew 1/2 of Friday's profit and have requested another withdraw for 1/2 of Sunday/Monday's profit. Maybe I'll change it up in the future or do weekly withdraws, but I ...

Sunday night open trade. Not great trading, but I'll take +12 for 10 minutes. The buy trade at the open would have been great for 25+. The trade I took for +12 would have also been 25+, but I chickened out and took my profits off the table since the ...

Looking back over the day's price action and marked all of the places of divergence showing from the stochs and the price action at levels. These types of trades would be my ideal scenario. Wait for a level, watch price action, confirm divergence, ...

This was the trade I was waiting for and missed this morning since I cut off the trading. Actually had a buy limit there at 6332.50, but took it off when i quit for the day. Oh well. Going to shut down the charts so I don't get tempted and can focus ...

1st day back to trading in a while. I'm doing the NQ futures again. I had a good morning session jumping in just before the 9:30 open and am going to stop while I'm ahead. Plus, I'm behind in my regular job work and need to focus on that. I won't ...

I agree this style is easier and less stressful if you are averaging in small enough positions to keep the stress level low, but for me, i can have 18 winning days in the month and then 2 losers where I keep averaging and next thing you know the ...

just to be clear, i make nowhere near $20k per month on the job, but to leave it all behind and run a trading business, I would want $20k per month to be able to set aside business savings for the down times, money to reinvest back into the capital, ...

You have the experience and I'm sure you are right, but that was my idea in regards what it would take for me. Yes, I have positioned myself past the point of no return right now in suburbia hell life and it takes alot of overhead to run the family ...

I've have a work training trip and have to be out of town for 1.5 weeks, but planning to make another run at it when I get back. Not sure yet if I'll venture back into EURUSD forex or go back into NQ futures. In forex, I really like the ability to ...

Haven't updated here in over 1/2 a month. Sort of changed my strategy abit doing some testing and trying out. Of course, that did not end well. Day to day, it was working great, but only took a 2 day surge from last week's ECB to hammer down on me ...

bro- don't know what your situation is like, but if I could pull an avg of $1k net per day or $5k net per week, I'd be done with my job for sure. That would give me $1500 to put up for taxes, $1000 into savings for rainy day fund, $500 back into the ...

Gotta take this 4 figure call real quick. BRB. You should check out Sunday gap trade at 6pm est too. You can find some money there and it's not like forex where there is a huge spread at the open that you have to worry about.

Taking that money is a great feeling. The feeling of being invincible. It's the way i like to trade when I'm in the zone, but it always seems to catch up with me at some point because I get too greedy and too reckless and somehow find myself trading ...
