      Stevecb06 Swing Trade Journal

      By Stevecb06 · Posted

      Hey all! My name is Steve, a lifetime member here at BBT.  I have tried a few times over the years to day trade, but due to my circumstances I think I have finally accepted that day trading is just not for me.  I have a pretty demanding career (IT Manager) and have found that staring at charts all day keeps me from being productive in my role.  I love my career and want to keep it as my priority.  I view trading as more of a side gig than something I want to go full time with, so I think swing trading is going to just be a better fit for me.  I know this community is focused more on day trading, but I want to journal and log my experiences with swing trading here to try to give back to the community in any way that I can. Although I have been reading and experimenting and learning about trading for several years now and consider myself to have intermediate knowledge on the topic, I have never shown that I can be consistently profitable, so I am still considering myself to be a novice.  This journal will hopefully document my journey to becoming a profitable trader. I am starting out very small, targeting a risk of about $5 per trade.  Only after I show that I can be consistently disciplined and profitable will I increase my risk, and even then, I will increase my risk very slowly. I will document and chart all my trades here, and provide a monthly update along with P&L.  I hope this journal can be useful for both myself, and you all.  Happy trading!

      DAS TRADER PACKAGE TO BUY

      By cellardoor23 · Posted

      Hi,  i still don't get the difference between these "normal" plans and the one for BBT Members:     I want to trade stocks and I would like lvl 2 like Thor etc. As far as I understand the plans the "normal" deluxe user plan with swap from OPRA to Arca  would match my requirements. But what is the bonus for the BBT members in the plans ... this plans are really not good described. Another question: Has the simulator DAS Plan really the same price as the full IB plan ?    Thanks in advance
