Hi, I am from Indonesia. I like forex trading and now I think forex is my life. I trade in some brokers. In my opinion by trading in some brokers, I will know their advantages and then select the best. I can share here or by mail.

Hi everyone!

Donald is here, and I'm very excited to be a part of this whole thing. Just recently started learning and trading, so not yet a professional, but lets give it some time I say! I am very passionate about the things I do or did in the past, and hopefully that won't be my fault in this experience. Also every suggestion is welcome!

Hey Donald,

I think I'm kinda looking for something like them. I checked their website, but still not sure. Can you tell me some more about how they work?

Well, their package has a bunch of video lessons. After the lessons you get quizzes which I like a lot, because you can test yourself if you just watched them or you actually understood them :D So far I haven't really used their other services, but one step at a time. Will let you know about more when I get there. Videos are high quality by the way, and very educational.

Thanks Donald, I really appreciate any information. At their website, they mention private mentoring sessions and webinars too. Have you tried any of them?

Not the webinars, but I had one mentoring session so far and it was pretty good I can say. Made me understand a lot more about the markets and they pointed me into the right direction. It was worth it for sure.

Hello, my name is Brian. I have been a small time buy and hold investor for about 20 years or so. I began with a mutual fund. I watched the price go up or down again quarterly, and never knew what I should do about that. Live and learn. I have been trading in stocks and ETF's for the last 7 years or so, with some success, in that " Hall of Mirrors" known as the stock market.  I have recently become interested in the idea of actively trading, which for me means weekly/biweekly short term positions, using fundamental analysis, market/economic information and advisors ratings as guides as to what to purchase and when.  I want to use short timing to increase my current income, and I am hatching an idea to do this and not to give up my day job. With some skepticism, I would say  am a devotee of Warren Buffet, as I have read several of his books.

Hi,

My story may sound familar to anyone with software development background.

I'm an experienced software engineer with 20+ years in the market, mostly trading my own products. Unemployeable since 2003, when I launched my first successful venture.

I came into the market with an idea of becoming a consistently profitable trader in few weeks, then develop some tools for personal use which may become great products over time. But I soon found that I can't be a trader and a software developer at the same time. Trading is about earning screen time but I always missed every hour without coding.

I almost gave up, when I got support from active traders I met along the way. The solution was to focus on what I'm good at. Not trying to become a trader but rather developing products for other traders. It seems like a failure but it was the answer for me personally.

I'm still at the beginning of the journey, my first product (Forex Simulator) isn't perfect yet but it's evolving really fast. I hope to make it the best product on the market in the next 3-6 months.

I came here to learn from successful traders, to help them make their work more effective, profitable and fun. It will be great to get any feedback: ideas, suggestions, feature requests and bug reports.

I can also help others who are following the same route. With my 20+ years in software business there is a lot to share.

Hello, and welcome to the forum! The app seems to be nice, I will give it a go sometime soon.

Thank you!

I plan to add automated backtesting after I research competing products in the next 1-2 weeks, better wait a bit to get a better first impression :)

By the way, the amount of interesting and valuable information here is outstanding. I wonder why there almost are no active threads. When I read the forum and see something interesting or worth discussing, I just look at 2008 or 2012 as a date of post to remember that I'm not a necroposter. So, I just wandering around, reading it carefully and liking posts :)

I am just beginning to trade with a goal of becoming proficient over time through knowledge and practice. I have read: How I made 2 Million Dollars in the Stock Market; How to Make Money in Stocks; Invest like the Best; The Complete Idiots Guide to Technical Analysis; and a few others within the past few weeks. I am currently working through Market Wizards. I subscribed to Value Line including their Analyzer, Investors Business Daily and utilize Worden's TC2000.

I am having difficulty trying to utilize these tools to effectively locate stocks with recognizable buy points. A recent purchase was SBUX on 7/11 expecting it to work back towards its 55-56 price point.
