Hey everyone, recently signed up.

I'm a complete beginner, still on the learning curve. I'm always interested in hearing about your experiences when you all started trading.

Best,

Hello to All!
My name is Roy and I work an as Insurance Auditor and day trader in the futures markets. I normally will trade pre-market or at the open for approximately 1 hour before starting my work day. I would like to find a good trading system for trading the London open in the evening so I would welcome any suggestions or ideas. I have never traded options and I am starting the process of educating myself and any suggestions in this area would be great. I am always open for communication and collaboration and will always welcome new trading ideas. I look forwarding to communication with you all.

Hello,

I am a ES futures scalper using Bob Volman 70 tick method, I have been scalping for few months. If scalping is successful I'll make trading my full-time job.

Nice to meet everyone here!

Here's your first tip - you should not be trading NQ. You're brand new. Practice and earn the right to trade NQ. You don't start racing at F1; you start at the Soapbox derby. You didn't start your education in High School - you started in kindergarten (or preschool).

There's an argument to be made new traders should not be trading futures at all. However, if you want to start with Futures, start with MYM or M2K. You need to survive, first. While you're learning, keep the self-inflicted damage to your psyche and capital to a minimum.

Don't take my words for it, though. Take a scroll (stroll, heh) through the trading journal graveyard https://nexusfi.com/trading-journals

Hello Mike and friends.

My name is Eddie and I just recently got into futures trading as a "side hustle" to help put my kids through daycare. I have never traded before and was gifted the Peachy Investor course by a relative. I was immediately intrigued by the ability to make money when the price goes up or down. My small amount of knowledge regarding trading stock, from TV friends or conversations told me price going down is not a good thing. I have gone through the course material on futures trading and learned a fair amount of TA to get me started. I am trading doing TopStep combines. I've blown a few accounts already but understand its part of the process. My big thing is finding time to dedicate to this. I have a full time job, family of 5 (2 kids and a dog) and I find it hard to really dedicate to this. I used to game allot and i know to be good at anything is going to take some practice, I've replaced most of my gaming with trading and learning more about trading futures. Its nice to be part of a community of like minded individuals. Hoping to learn from you all and maybe one day ill get to pass some knowledge down to others. Thanks for putting this together!

Hello everyone,

My name is Youssef, and I specialize in trading U.S. Treasury Bond Futures – ZN, ZB, and UB.

I currently trade on a Live Demo account (real market feed, not playback) during the New York session, using advanced Order Flow techniques like Footprint charts, Delta analysis, and reading the DOM and tape.

I'm passionate about market structure and intraday behavior in bonds, and I'm looking to connect with serious traders or firms who are also focused on fixed income futures.

I’m happy to join this great community and excited to share and learn with others!

Best regards,
Youssef

Hi all, I have been trading consistently for about ten years, mainly CFD's on metals, US Indices, energies, forex and grains. My track record has been littered with a few blown up accounts as I made all the usual mistakes trying out various techniques. I am now increasingly profitable and have been using Gann techniques, volume profile, support and resistance, trend lines and channels for analysis. My focus is on weekly, daily, 4hr and 1hr charts with an occasional look at 15min. I use TradingView for charting and have linked my CFD account so that I can trade from the chart. I am looking forward to learning from and contributing to the community.
