Hi everybody, I've been thinking about giving the room my own personal touch as I often found my self during the last few months having difficulties with the small chat and all the messages... Short Story I aimed for this goals : Giving some more space for the main chat Reduce the tab selection section in the middle of the column so that it does not overflow in several lines Give some clean icons that clearly identify the content while keeping the tooltip Hide the Alert Panel while keeping it accesible using the mouse over it (autohide) Change the font for a readable one with a smaller size as I use to have the chat in a 40" TV The final result is this ( original colors on the right, darker theme on the left) : If interested in getting more room for the main chat, just install Stylus and Darkreader (if you like the dark theme ) plugins on your browser : Chrome: Stylus: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne Dark-reader: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh?hl=es Firefox: Stylus: https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/styl-us/?src=search Dark-reader: https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/darkreader/ After the easy installation, just go to the top right cornor of your browser and click on the "S" then on the "create new style option" while being in the tab of the chatroom. Copy the CSS text that you can find attached to this post and then paste it in the editor area. Check the name you want to give to this style on the upper left corner and the URL that should be monitored : https://protradingroom.com Save the changes and go back to the room. If you want to activate the dark theme just go to the DarkReader plugin and manage your settings ... Hope anyone finds this usefull.

Was bored and wanted to nail these down since these are the current hot flavor of the week in the chatroom I thought others might be interested. Change it to your liking since I made it super low energy. It's UGLY. I just got it on paper so you don't have to. The VPA section is stolen from Anna Coulling's book. But I couldn't remember in real time what each anomaly meant. This is meant for someone whos read the book otherwise it might not make sense. If you haven't read it, I can send the book to you. Just PM me. Also almost any other TA book. The camarilla pivot point cheat sheet is just to remember what and how to use each as S/R and trade off it appropriately. VPA&CamarillaPP Cheat sheet.pdf

Yes https://www.tradeinsights.net/ + OneNote. I import trades into trade insights and OneNote for charts screenshots and notes: What did I do well / bad, what could I improve, what did I learn and how I will implement learnings. I also have a daily table for mistakes / broken rules to make sure I improve my discipline in the most frequent errors / broken rules. I have a page for daily summaries and a calendar where I use colors to grade my days so in a glance I can see how my month is going. (Each month is a Notebook and I use the sections (like tabs) in the top for each trading day, summary, errors and final performance at the end of the month.

Hi, watch this video by BBT member Jessie

You can follow some simple performance indicators like: PnL ratio: $$ earned in winning trades / $$ lost in losing trades Accuracy %: ## winning trades / ## losing trades You also want to have some performance indicators by setup / strategy: top winners / losers, accuracy, average winning / losing, etc. In the process side, do you have your rules and playbook? How is your discipline following your rules / tradebook? You want to grade your trading days not only in $ (you can make $$ averaging up / down and breaking all your rules) but also grading your discipline following rules. So a green day in $$ can be a very bad day in terms of rule compliance, and a red day in $$ could be a great day in terms of discipline. You don't want to go live because you had a lot of green days ($$) in sim to discover you built bad habits that will put in danger your account trading live.

Hi Brandon. I recently went live, and the most important change I've noticed is how sometimes in the sim you simply "don't care" if it goes very bad because it's fake money. I went live in september, and since then I've came back to sim 5 times because my mental struggles get in the way while trading live. I guess the most important thing you should have is to be aware of the amount of money you are willing to risk per trade and have that risk in control. The first time I went live I did not have that risk matter under control, I thought I had, but I didn't. I ended up losing $3k in the first two weeks, but going back to sim has helped to correct some heavy issues. Be aware that the sim is always going to be available, but it's crucial that you go live, at least one day in the week, so you can experience the thrill of risking real money and start developing the mental skills to handle it. Also, don't look at going back to sim as a failure. The first time I decided to go back to sim I was feeling defeated but it's far from a loss, in fact, going back to sim has given me new skills to improve my performance in live.

Hey @Nperez13 I have tried various techniques. My latest approach is using BUYING POWER and buttons like below. I am liking this so far. I am a momentum trader mostly - so I have to make quick decisions and all the risk/reward calculations etc was too much to handle. Not many people are going to like my approach 🙂 I guess you have find your own technique. B 200 -> buy 200 shares B .20 BP -> buy 20% of buying power S SL 25c - > (set for shorts) stop loss 25c above the price S SL $150 -> (set for shorts) stop loss to fixed $150 total above the price based on the total price and quantity of of the shares I guess you will be able to figure out the rest.

Intro to Futures Trading would be great. Thanks 🙏

Hi, started trading stocks with BBT 16 months ago and never got the hang of it. Switched to futures 4 months ago and doing great. I only trade ES and watch it on four time frames. I find the 15 and 30 min to be very reliable. It usually does not have a morning ORB so you may need to sit it out for awhile. Watch the first one min candle and if it has a big wip just walk away for at least 15 min. It usually has a nice run at the close also. The best thing is you don't need $25,000 to trade. I use Ninja Trading and can buy 1 contract for $500. 2 contracts a day can easily make you $400. I hear taxes are also less with futures but have not done them yet so I'm not sure. Good luck!

Hey @Rob C, That's great to hear! I switched from live trading stocks to live futures (MES, MNQ, and MGC) in the last couple of weeks. Have been profitable. I've been looking at NinjaTrader, but have a lot invested in TradeStation and ThinkOrSwim (I mainly execute trades on TradeStation), so don't want to add learning a new platform just yet. Maybe we can chat with @Andrew Aziz about a futures focus group within BBT. Buck
