I'm unsure what I can bring to TL that hasn't been already said by many posters who are vastly more experienced than me. But I know I ought to be a bit more active, so here I am.

your (and many other silent traders') participation is valuable because we all have different point of views, ideas

I absolutely agree, I lurked for ages before posting and find when I post something I think about it in a different way, both in writing the post, and in the responses of those who reply.

I trade E-mini futures mainly S&P 500. I am a full-time retail trader. My main concepts are auction theory and volume analysis. I try my best to listen to the market and control my basic human instincts!!

Cheers,

TheNegotiator.

Hello Everyone,

I initially started trading back in 1998 but stopped as the Internet Bubble crashed and I realized how little I knew about the markets and trading. Back then, all you had to do was throw a dart at any internet stock and you were almost guaranteed to make money on the uprising trend.

I stopped trading until this year, January 2012. My life is more stable and I am able to apply my efforts towards trading again, which I have really missed all these years.

I've still got a lot to learn, so gathering experience from others is important to me. As I get more comfortable and consistent with my trading, I intend to return the favor by helping others achieve that optimal trading state where they can be successful in their trading.

First, work on me and my trading, then help others...that's the goal, anyways.

I have limited my trading to ES,NQ for now. I have really appreciated the posts and comments from TheNegotiator, JoshDance, SoulTrader, gosu, Tams, roztom, and Steve46 just to name a few. These are the folks I have seen posting on the ES market. As I expand my focus area, I'm sure there will be plenty more people to add to my "thank you" list. The TL community is huge and I've only scratched the tip of the iceberg.

I look forward to being more active within the TL community.

Thanks,

CYP

Hi,

I am Badsal, I am new to this forum. I just discovered this website today. It will be interesting. I thought this was an interesting article:
http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...excursion.html

I use a trading journal to calculate the channel percentage of my stops on failed and successful trades. I find the data useful as I can apply it to the different markets I trade. Each market has different successful stop percentages!

Hi to all,

just happened to stumble on your website/forum by chance.

From what I`ve read so far pretty cool.!

I also am very new to trading and like the majority of newbies have also made a lot of mistakes, I think the main thing people new to trading need to have or learn is patients.
Dont jump in to soon risking your hard earned money, take your time, do the trading systems research, find a system and time frame that suits you then try to perfect and run with it. Even if it takes 3 years to master the benefits and results will be fantastic.

Thanks
