Hey everyone,

I'm Tim, a Chicagoland native and full time trader as of October 2009. I trade the E-mini S&P & Euro FX Futures. I've been involved with trading since 2007 beginning with stocks, learning how market internals work, moving to options, and ended up where I am now in futures as a day trader.

When I’m not trading I'm usually outside riding or racing my bike. I blog over at EminiMind and am involved in a weekly entrepreneurial mastermind group. I like mountain biking, microbreweries, exploring new places, and good design. I look forward to getting to know some of you on the forum.

Hey Tim!

Nice to have you with us. I had noticed you posting in the forums already and so it's nice you formally introduced yourself to everyone!

Cheers,

TheNegotiator.

Hi Tim, and welcome!

Ditto The Negotiator's sentiments completely!

Not to go too far off topic here but, I just got my motorcycle endorsement in early Oct 2010.
4 days later I bought a new leftover 09 KAWI Ninja. 500cc. It's very forgiving, a good learner's bike. As a matter of fact, the temps here hit mid to upper 40s today. Just got back from 2 hours of twisties. What are you riding?

BOING!!!!! A light bulb just went off. Think I'll start a Hobbies Thread in the Lounge.
I'm sure a lot of us have a lot more in common than just trading.

hello folks. total noob here- you guys are all gurus in my eyes! still reading, absorbing information & trying to put together a system before paper trading (stocks) in a couple of months. i've decided to start my 16 y.o. son on the adventure with me. even though i've read more than him, he seems to understand the concepts better (it's funny how the kids run circles around me). we're focused right now on candlesticks, chart patterns and price/volume. so much to learn!

Hi Lightstar, and Welcome!

Remember, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

That's awesome Mystic, I actually race mountain bikes (bikes without motors). Street bikes get me in too much trouble, haha. Heading out to AZ the week of March rollover actually to get some riding in before race season starts. Good idea on the hobbies section, I bet lots of us have more in common than we know.

Hi Guys,

Newbie here too. I'm just a college junior who's about to enter finance through an internship this coming summer. Looking to learn more about trading through this forum to better prepare myself for the real world.

Nice to meet you all.

Cheers
