This member is the original thread starter. Howdy yall.

Wait, did someone in NY say "howdy".
I'm glad I stumbled on this site on a random Google search. Thus far this is my favorite site I've found and plan on calling it my trading home site.

Quick background on me...I started in October 06' with swing trading stocks. I began as most do, with pinks/pennies and lost 50% of my equity within 2 months. I fought to learn quickly and came into this year down "only" 40%.
At one point I made it up 20+% around June but started hunting for the holy grail again, though I knew price action backed by supply & demand was all that matters. I decided to try something new (futures). I've learned alot in the last 2 months. Lot's to go, but I'm pretty consistent on paper and will go live in 2-4 weeks barring any emotional setbacks.

I look forward to interacting with "yall" and though I'm a moderator here it seems like a pretty professional place where adults interact on a mature level so I should have a very easy job.

My name's Mike BTW or most on the web call me MC.

Good trading

Glad to be here and entrusted with being a mod James. Thanks for all your info and for creating the best site for future traders.

I'm going to create a thread here to track my daily P&L soon. I'll put it up from when I started paper trading for real and hope to get feedback, including a smack in the head when I do something dumb. I'm feeling pretty good about going live and think I may be just a few weeks away. Then I can finally start using the Tradestation platform and get tick hooks in a proper fashion. For now I'm stuck using stockcharts.com and having it refresh every 15 seconds instead of streaming.
I have several internals windows and then my Ninja trader layout and have to flip back and forth, it's very in-efficient the way I do this now.
