Hi Team,

I can’t find a thread for silly beginners questions, so I thought I’d start one myself. Hopefully the senior traders will get a kick out of reading this threat and chime in from time to time.

Here are a couple silly questions to start us out.
1) Assuming you are trading futures part time, do you get to adjust your losses from your wins come tax season?
2) What are the most useful tools when trading using ninja trader?
3) Would anyone be able to suggest an effective volume indicator on ninja trader?
4) Can anyone suggest any good books on trading?
5) What markets do you guys trade and why?
6) What are some of the rookie mistakes you made when you first started and how can we avoid them?

You are better off using the search function on the site, and finding detailed threads on these subjects to educate you than trying to cram it all into one thread.
