Hey all , I'm new here to Big Mike's Trading forum but like what I see and look forward to finding my way around and getting to know some of you.
Some of you may know me from another great forum which I have been and am a member of since 2007 and I'm still there, but looking around this place makes me want to be a part of the community here as well and learn from all of you and hopefully contribute a thing or two as well, I am not much of a programmer and originally found this place looking for some knowledge in programming and indicators, I see that many of you are very knowledgeable and talented and kind enough to share your skills with others, Thanks
I watched the Webinar mike posted on introducing the forum and talking about his history and it really hit home, I am very appreciative of you taking the time to share that video and I can absolutely relate to many of the things that were said .
My biggest problem is myself, I have the knowledge (everyday I learn something new, I certainly don't know enough, ever), and have spent the long grueling hours on end reading, watching, trying platforms, datafeeds, gizmos, indicators, strategies, even guessing (which sometimes seems like the most successful) , my charting is great, i am often able to see where the markets are going and how they get there, but I trade like crap, I am stubborn, greedy, don't follow my own rules, overtrade, give back fantastic gains, and beat myself up emotionally. I am well aware that I am doing it but continue anyways and it's not the way I want to continue so hopefully starting fresh and coming here will help me change myself.
I'll try to keep up on this thread and add some of the things I look at and use and welcome all feedback and try to respond.
This morning I am long ES from 1259.25 in Sim account I am looking for the bounce to continue at least in the morning, a Gap fill @ 1266ish and looking @ 1270 perhaps 1277ish if bounce gains momentum
