Hi there,

I'd like to start off a thread where everyone can post to say hello or ask a question. I personally am an experienced trader and not a beginner. However, being a new member of the TL team, I feel I do qualify!!

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.

Hi,
New member of the TL Team as well. Started out just over 6 years ago and trade
Forex exclusively. In the beginning I made all the noob mistakes you read about, and
have several blown accounts to prove it. I then had the very good fortune of having an experienced trader take me under his wing and get me moving down the right path.
For the most part, I am a counter trend trader. I trade off the 1 minute thru 4 hour charts.
My favorite pairs are the GBP crosses.

In addition to trading, I love Sailing, Scuba, and Motorcycles.

Hi,
New here, just found this place. Very nice.
I guess I am still considered a beginner. I have been trading Forex about 2 years.
Progress has been slow, but I am at the point where I am gaining a little bit more than I am losing. Still have a lot to learn.

Hi GlassOnion,

Welcome to TL! I am sure you'll find lots of great info here and if you don't find what you are looking for, you can ask away. Everyone is pretty friendly and happy to help in general.

Cheers,

TheNegotiator.

Hi Folks

Have been on TL for a little while, and recently broke through to small profitability. Since then the breakthroughs have seemed to continue, and I am currently feeling positive about my future as a retail FX trader. I would like to say that I am confident of giving up my day job, but I'm not really, though I have cut back the hours a little now.

I love to share what I learn (except my personal trading setup ) and I love to write about trading. Currently working on my blog, which is not quite ready to launch. That won't drag me away from a great forum though - glad I found TL - refreshing good manners here.

Always on the lookout for new things in trading, and enjoy the great interaction I am finding on TL.

Welcome Mysticforex and The Negotiator, and GlassOnion - I look forward to great discussions with you guys on this forum.

Thanks Ingot54!! It sounds like you have plenty of useful experiences to share. I take it you are intending on using our blog section then?

Thanks,

TheNegotiator.

Well, no actually - I had not thought myself worthy to write a blog on TL

But I will certainly consider that. I am constructing an off-forum type of blog, with a link to Traders Laboratory gratis. It means a lot to me to have found a forum where there is a distinct interest in learning, and I would recommend all my readers to make TL their home too.

If TL have a small logo that would link to the site - that would be a welcome addition to my Blog.

I have found some (to remain unnamed) forums here and there where bullies abide, with their trolls, and that is decidedly absent here. Well worth preserving this etiquette.

Cheers

PS - I am a frequent visitor to the Blog section of TL - not sure how popular it is,
but for me it is like a visit to the library - you can end up in directions you never
intended to go, but glad you did.

Welcome Ingot54,

I am enjoying your thread "Psychological Self Help for the Budget-Challenged".

AND your post to Charles1 in "How to Stay Busy" was great.

Looking forward to hearing more from you.
