Hello,

I would still consider my self a beginner. I have been swing trading equities for about 2 1/2 years. Getting a handle on my emotions and making better rule based trades. I have ventured into forums before but found them to be a whole lot of B.S.

So I am giving the forums another shot. It would be nice to chat with others who understand the personal work involved in being a trader.

This is still a part time process with the intention of doing this full time.

 

When I am not trading I build Christmas Village terrains, garden, cook, and read . I love to study the why? we do things the way we do, the study of the human brain.

 

Lorraine

May all your trades be green

and your loses small with large lessons

That's pretty interesting. I used to do lots of coding on MT. Why don't you share some of your results. You can also share your robot or some code in our forums.

 

Welcome btw!

Niko,

 

I like what you say about a plan.It's a very simple fact that is often overlooked.

The typical trader does not look upon his trading as a business.As a result he approaches the market without a plan It seems to come with the territory like losing an acct to pay your dues. ( and I am not calling the kettle black here, I have lost the obligatory acct).

But in just about any other field a sloppy attitude towards one's profession will quick be corrected.

Hi,

I'm trading futures (CL, QM, ES, C) since 2010, but traded also forex and stocks for many years. I'm a 100% mechanical/quantitative trader, and I used to develop my systems on my own. I traded many strategies on TradeStation and NinjaTrader platforms. I'm currently interested in sharing ideas and projects on this nice forum.

Hi Albnd,

 

Welcome to TL - mechanical traders are a little under-represented here, so I look forward to seeing you around the forums!

 

Kind regards,

For sure. Honestly I feel a bit confused, 'cause the forum is really huge. Do you know of any specific "place" (thread, etc.) related to mechanical trading over here? Any orientation is welcome.

 

Thanks.

Option Trading is a fun place to begin in learn. There is more risk involved but higher reward. If you get the right training you can have success and a lot of it. I found a cool site that helped me called TraderMinute. They do option trading. They offer a $3K to $100K challenge. Turn 3,000 into 100,000. Its a lot of fun. They offer coaching as well for beginers that can be requested. Its helped me a lot. Hope you find something that helps you get started!

Hi All,

 

I wanna be a trader. Please advice on how to familiarise myself with the language, charts, and basic steps on how to begin trading?

 

I would suggest you to start with a demo trading account and read as much as you can about technical analysis and the threads in TL.

 

If you want to learn about Futures and Options, you can read my threads. I generally posts on options.

 

Happy Learning

    • Date: 16th May 2024. Market News – Stagflationary Risk for Japan; Bonds & Stocks Higher.   Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks and bonds gave a big sigh of relief after CPI and retail sales came in below expectations, supporting beliefs the FOMC will be able to cut rates by September. The markets had positioned for upside surprises. Wall Street surged with all three major indexes climbing to fresh record highs. Technical buying in Treasuries was also supportive after key rate levels were breached, sending yields to the lows since early April. Fed policy outlook: there is increasing optimism for a September rate cut, according to Fed funds futures, BUT most officials say they want several months of data to be confident in their actions. Plus, while price pressures are receding, rates are still well above the 2% target, keeping policy on hold. But the market is now showing about 22 bps in cuts by the end of Q3, with some 48 bps priced in for the end of 2024. Stagflationary Risk for Japan: GDP contracted much sharper than anticipated, for a 3rd quarter in a row. This is mainly due to consumer spending. The GDP deflator though came in higher than expected but still down from the previous quarter. The sharper than anticipated contraction in activity will complicate the outlook for the BoJ, and dent rate hike bets. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex slumped to 103.95, the first time below the 104 level since April 9. Yen benefitted significantly, with USDJPY currently at 154.35 as easing US inflation boosted bets on the Fed easing monetary policy this year, weakening USD, boosting the Yen. Gold benefited from a weaker Dollar and a rally in bonds and the precious metal is trading at $2389 per ounce. At the same time, the precarious geopolitical situation in the Middle East is underpinning haven demand. Oil prices rebounded slightly after the shinking of US stockpiles and the risk-on mood due to declined US Inflation. However USOil is still at the lowest level in 2 months, at 78.57. Market Trends:   The NASDAQ popped 1.4% to 16,742. The S&P500 advanced 1.17% to 5308, marking a new handle. And the Dow rose 0.88% to 39,908. Treasury yields tumbled sharply too on the increasingly dovish Fed outlook. Additionally, the break of key technical levels extended the gains to the lowest levels since early April before the shocking CPI data on April 10 boosted rates.

    • Date: 17th May 2024. Market News – Asian and European futures followed Wall Street lower. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The Dow topped 40,000 for the first time ever, but was unable to close with that historic handle. Concurrently, the S&P tried for its 24th record high this year but failed too. The rise in Treasury yields after stronger than expected import prices, and a drumbeat from Fed officials that rates need to remain high for longer, encouraged profit taking. Most Asian equity markets and European futures have followed Wall Street lower, after US data dented rate cut hikes. Chinese data showing slowed consumption and a drop in home sales, although industrial production numbers looked relatively robust. Japan’s core consumer inflation slowed for a 2nd month in a row in April from a year earlier, while the core consumer prices index (CPI) is expected to decelerate to 2.2% from 2.6% in March, the lowest level in 3 months, but still at or above the central bank’s 2% target for more than two years. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex firmed slightly to 104.518 and up from the day’s nadir of 104.080. But it held a 104 handle for a second straight day. It traded above the 105 level from April 10 until May 15. Silver has surged nearly 25% this year, outpacing Gold and becoming a top-performing commodity, though it remains relatively inexpensive compared to gold. Both metals have hit record highs due to central-bank buying and increased interest in China. USOil is 0.75% higher at $79.23. Market Trends:   All three major US indexes closed slightly in the red after posting all-time highs on Wednesday. The NASDAQ closed with a -0.26% decline, while the S&P500 lost -0.21%, and the Dow was off -0.1% at 39,869. It was a corrective day for Treasuries too. Bonds unwound part of their recent rally that took rates down to the lows since early April. Always trade with strict risk management.
