Hi Anna,
You've picked a good attention grabbing title for your thread! However, the content - thus far anyway - isn't quite what I (and others?) expected. A few points that you may like to consider:
1. You've put your thread in the 'First Steps' forum which, as the name implies, is aimed at new members - many of whom will be also be new to trading. For their benefit - and mine come to that - please keep it simple. You're only three posts into the thread and already you're trading futures, options and stocks - which isn't appropriate for many traders - novices or otherwise. Additionally, your OP says that you'll be daytrading but, by post 3, you appear to be swing trading?
2. There's no explanation of any kind as to your methodology and why you're taking each trade? In your OP you state that your goal "is to show you how to make a million dollars" which is great. However, just posting trades that you've done isn't especially interesting and not at all instructive. It doesn't show anybody anything of any value. Details of trades with clearly annotated charts is a must.
3. I note that you're a vendor. Cynics will argue that you're merely trying to drum up business for your training and coaching activities. If you offer really good material which is clearly explained so that members can understand your ideas and methodology - and you stay within site guidelines - then personally I don't have a problem with this. However, as things stand, you're liable to be dismissed as holy grail vendor, for which you can expect to receive considerable disdain from most T2W members, including me.
I hope you prove me wrong by addressing the points raised and manage to turn the thread around. But don't hang around: in spite of this being a community of traders, we're not noted for out patience!
Good luck and Happy New Year to you. 😉
Tim.
I will post charts etc. I am here to show others how to trade, share my ideas. When I started to trade years ago, nothing was available. I have seen so many traders lose so much $$$ and spend so much on classes, books, etc and still are losing. I will post my charts etc. I have other post on T2W, under QQQQ. Sorry, that you had to beat me up, without knowing how I trade. In order to settle this, I'll prove my point, and I will be declared the winner. Charts will follow. Cheers Anna
