Hi everyone!

Like most day traders, I blew up my account a couple times and lost enough money to make most grown men weep. After I regrouped I started trading with common sense and with control of my emotions.

Later, I decided I wanted a forum to share my ideas as well as learn from others. I created my blog on April 17th, 2009 in order to meet this goal, as well as hold myself accountable for my trades and actions. I wanted a way to be able to lookback and ensure I was following my own advice.

The blog introduced me to a lot of fellow traders, some struggling, some doing exceptionally well. Talking with them everyday has really helped my trading and given me a lot of new ideas as well. In turn, I hope that I have provided them something useful that helps in their trading.

Since the blog did very well I decided to create this forum, and it was born June 11th, 2009. The forum was designed with the specific goal of having a small community of traders focused on making money. There are other sites out there but I never really felt at home with many of them, their userbase is too focused on proving someone wrong instead of trying to help.

You can find some more information about me in my profile.

Hello everyone — I’m Earl. My background is in quantitative research and decision-support design for traders who operate in fast-moving environments like the SPX. Over the past several years, I’ve been developing The Volatility Engine™ — a research-driven framework that helps visualize and interpret market structure, compression, and directional bias in real time.

My goal here is to learn and exchange ideas with others who value disciplined analysis and clear decision processes. I’m especially interested in how traders here approach volatility regime shifts, structure mapping, and trade preparation during high-energy sessions.

Looking forward to contributing to the discussion and learning from your experience — and thank you to the NexusFi team for maintaining such a professional and respectful environment.

— Earl

Hello Everyone!

I came across this platform and felt very interesting. Not a profitable trader yet, I am still learning and I felt this would really add some value. When I feel there is something worth sharing I would definitely do so. Excited to be here

Hi Elactix,
Nice to see a trader from India @ Indian Markets

RPS. VINOD

Hey, new to this futures trading gig. I got interested in futures by watching videos and researching on the web. I am not new to trading, but have not been very successful. When I first started out I "thought" I knew was doing and lost my butt. Quit trading for a year or so. I am back in the game now and want to create a little extra income a month. I know you don't win every trade, but I would like to be more successful than I am now. I have tried other services and none have been successful. First off, I am not against joining another service if one can be recommended here and also looking for the best indicator for MES or MNQ to help me be more successful. Thanks, and I am looking forward to being a part of this community. Any help would be appreciated
