Thank you for the replies. I've been trading for only a year so I think for me the difficulty is in really knowing what my style of trading is or has been because up until now my winners and losers have felt random. Even on days or even months where I have made decent money I don't really know how or what methodology I used. The trading style I was taught was completely discretionary focusing almost all decisions on what occurs within level II quotes.

wsam29: You said you "use" to trade stocks. What made you switch from stocks to something else?

torero: I agree completely that prop firms leave very little room for creativity. They focus a lot on burning tickets and getting in and out very quickly. It is tough to find help in learning new trading styles when everyone around you pretty much does the same thing. Which is why I am here, to learn from all of you guys different insights and new ideas.
