Confidence to trade for real...

j790137 · Apr 16, 2009, 11:23am

have been looking at trading the emini from home for the last 3 months, so far i am putting in 3 hours an evening, just looking at the markets & paper trading, so far i am earning a small profit (2x contracts with 2-4 ticks average) per night but need a bit more confidence to trade for real.

I am using Market delta as my tool of choice and Infinity Futures to run the trades.

I have been reading tons of forums, blogs, people trying to sell me knowledge or worse tools to make me rich ! has anyone got any positive experiences of starting to trade to becoming a profitable trader for me to draw some confidence from as this seems to be my biggest hurdle so far ???

Thanks all

JJ

Have a read of DON MILLER blogspot (google it) he trades the EMINI S&P.

ONly real way to get confidence is by keep on doing what works.
