Hi guys,

I am new to this forum. My interest in finance started early and casually met a person involved into metal hedging. Then I started studying by myself technical analysis since 2010. Started trading live, lost money, paper trading, made some profit, lost it and so on. Now am I planning a new Trading System and we will see.

Thanks

I'm retired. Have a normal portfolio, which is fine. But, it takes ... so ... loooonnnng.

 

Tried a little swing trading a few years back (before retirement.) Now that my time is my own, I want to get back into it.

 

I would consider myself a total noob. This time I need to start from scratch and actually learn what I'm supposed to be doing. Those pictures with all the squiggly lines and numbers and such probably mean something I should know.

 

So, that's what I will endeavor to do. I intend to study using my current portfolio and then transfer the influx of that knowledge to my online portfolio and not lose my shirt or my pants or my cats or my pigs or my dog.

Hi Jordy

 

Might I recommend a Twitter account if you do not currently have one. It is a great place to connect with tons of traders and people are always sharing their ideas. I myself use Twitter to not only see other traders ideas but also to share my own in real time.

 

You can add me @eatsleeptrade7

 

Twitter has surprisingly become one of my greatest tools. I look forward to sharing ideas with you.

Hi Andrew

 

Paper trading is a great place to start and honestly a must for beginners. Unfortunately paper trading tends to be incredibly easier than real trading for a couple of reasons

 

1. There's no emotional connection to paper like there is with real money. It's very easy to hold losing positions with out having much worry. And decisions tend to be non stressful unlike when your losing real $$

 

2. Depending on what paper trading program your using it may not incorporate realistic prices during purchases and is much easier to get filled. There are no worries about bid / ask spread and available volume if shares are actually being traded.

 

Just remember to start small and manage risk when starting with real $$

 

 

 

 

 

Hello

I am new to this, but have been playing with paper money($25,000) on TOS for 3 months..So when I use real money it should all be the same... right?.:roll eyes:

Andrew..Thanks for having me.

Hello,

 

I have always been interested in the idea of trading for profit, however I do not know where or how to start. Lets say my current knowledge is that of a blank slate, however I am very teachable. In short I would love some guidance from the very first step to the very last in order to really give me the best shot at trading successfully.

 

Thank you for your time and your support,

 

Todd E

Hi,

 

I have been trading for a short term (~1 year), and at some point I made the mistake of blowing up my account. I need to reform my method and need to start learning again. I figure a good point would be with wyckoff's method and I'm also interested in learning Dalton's market profile. Hoping to learn and share with other people on this board :). I have a serious passion for trading but am currently a masters student. Nice to meet you all ;)

 

John

Yes, you should gain knowledge regarding various aspects of Forex and also you should select the best broker after analyzing past records. I have been trading with my broker since 3 years and I have earned a lot through it.

    • Date: 23rd April 2024. European PMIs Paint Mixed Picture, ECB advise a June Cut is Certain. The German DAX recorded its highest monthly increase as investors continue to predict a weaker EU monetary policy. JP Morgan again advised stocks are overcrowded and may see a stronger downward correction. However, economists advise this is only possible if geo-political tension escalates or companies fail to beat earnings predictions. Gold witnesses its strongest decline in 2024 falling 2.64% on Monday and a further 1.32% during this morning’s Asian session. The Euro is the best performing currency after the day’s PMI releases. However, investors should note that the US Dollar during the Asian session was performing significantly better. USA500 – Visa and Tesla Ready Shareholders For Earnings Release! The SNP500 rose 0.87% during the US trading session and also broke the previous swing high. However, JP Morgan again told journalists there are signs that the stock market is “overcrowded”. When institutions are overexposed to certain stocks or industries, it only takes one big fund to start de-levering and then others will follow. Though, investors should note that this would also depend on three factors. The first is earnings, the second is geo-political tensions and the third is inflation. This week, investors will largely watch earnings, particularly Visa and Tesla. Visa and Tesla currently hold a weight of 2.00% and are two of the most influential stocks. Tesla continues to be one of the worst performing stocks, but Visa’s earnings are less certain. Visa has beat earnings and revenue expectations over the past 4 occasions but has been struggling over the past 30 days. Analysts expect earnings and revenue to remain at the same level compared to the previous quarter. However, higher earnings can potentially increase demand. Visa stocks have risen 5.20% in 2024 and have a dividend yield of 0.76%. However, as mentioned above, the performance of the stock market will largely depend also on inflation and geo-political tensions. Though these are not likely to change within the upcoming days. In regard to inflation, investors will be eager to see if inflation again rises, in which case, interest rate cuts will likely not be possible for 2024. If this scenario materialises, stocks can decline between 20-30% ($3,700-$4,220). GER30 – ECB Ready To Cut Rates In June 2024! On a 2-hour timeframe the price of the GER30 is trading above the 75-Bar EMA and above the VWAP. In addition to this, the asset is obtaining buy signals also from oscillators and price action. The index has retraced since the release of the European PMI data, but if the price rises above 18,067, without breaking the day’s low price, buy signals will become active. One of the key drivers, along with this morning’s PMI release for Germany and France, is the latest comments from members of the ECB. According to ECB representative Mr Villeroy, even if oil remains volatile, the regulator will look to cut in June 2024. In addition to Mr Villeroy, Mr De Guindos told journalists that a rate cut in June is “crystal clear”. The guidance given is increasing the demand for the German DAX as are indications of stronger economic data. The French PMI data saw the Services index rise above 50.00 for the first time since May 2023 and beat expectations. However, the manufacturing index continues to struggle and fell compared to the previous month. The German PMI was a similar picture. The Services PMI rose to a 10-month high and beat expectations, but the Manufacturing Index read lower than the 42.8 expectations and is at a 6-month low. Always trade with strict risk management.
