I will introduce myself i'm Kristof i'm 26 year old , working in a factory and my dream is to become a daytrader!
I started 1 year ago with trading stocks march 2009 first motnhs i was buying and selling stocks without learning someting like charts, chart paterns ,... Until November I discoverd a real learning website the people are great there there goal is to learn people trade. My first motns I was doing swing trading sometimes take a profit sometimes a loss (whatever it's trading :-) ) . Stocks where not the kind of thing that I would like to do so my goal was to daytrade on the future markets! In June this year i started with my future trading account, first month was a shock lost 40% of my account. July and august where basicy flat. Begin december i went over all my trades most of the time ddin't take a stopout or avrage in on the rwong time things you have to learn! From september take a new start the month started verry good until the end of the month I was flat again . Needed to work on beter entry prices and let winners run and take out losers soon . The month ockober was verry nice toke a 11% gain on my account not bad :), November i give 5 % back to the markets some mistakes again 2 times a stop was not in place ..... Oke so from this month stop are in place any time going from 1 contract to 2. The first day of december was a gapp and go day hard to take a short on low volume in the markets + Fed proping up the markets . Today was aslo a hand sitting day did 1 trade give me a nice couple of $.
Oke gonna enjoy my eavening and will prepare my charts for tomorow ;-)
