    Hi everyone,

    I'm Yasser, a 29 year old Engineer living in Kuwait (originally from Egypt), working a normal 8 to 5 job.

    I'm tired of being part of this economic slavery we're all living in, so I decided to take matters in my own hands, and put the effort & time needed to have my financial freedom.

    I took the decision to start this journey on 28th of June 2019, and in these 4 months, I've read & summarized the below books.

    - How to day trade for a living - Andrew Aziz

    - Advanced techniques in day trading - Andrew Aziz

    - Technical analysis of the financial markets - John Murphy

    - Beginner's guide to day trading online - Toni Turner

    - Mastering the trade - John Carter

    I'm solid on theory as a beginner, but now is the time to start my simulation stage. I'm not in a rush, and ready to take my time.

    Lastly, I'd like to say that I wont give up no matter what until I reach the financial freedom I deserve, and I wish you all the same.

    Cheers

    Hello Yasser! Welcome to BBT family,  make sure to take your time in simulator, don't rush going live:D I believe you'll be able to make it!

    Hello everyone, my name is Jason and I live on the coast of Georgia.  I have been trading on and off for a bit over two years.  I started while deployed in Afghanistan when I decided it was about time to find a new line of work.  I am still in the National Guard, but have found it to be a struggle working in the civilian world.  Thus, I am completely focused on becoming a full time trader.  I have followed BBT on Youtube for a good while and decided it was time to try out the room.  Really hoping to make this work.  I've traded a good bit, but without consistency.  Essentially, I am at break even for my trading career.  Looking forward to turning the corner with some guidance from the BBT team.

    Hello Jason! Welcome to the community! I really wish you best of success, continue the hard work and hopefully it'll pay off eventually

    Hey everybody, I've actually been here for a year and a half, but I never really say much.  I figured I'd put an introduction in here and say hi.  I've been a member since march 2018, live since November 2018, and mostly breakeven months, other than June which was a nightmare month for me.  I'm in Seattle, so if there's ever a Seattle meetup I might be interested in that.

    Hi Thomas! Break even stage is actually really good, you're one step away from consistency! Regarding meetings, you can always arrange one and see if there are members from seattle who are willing to join!

    Hi Everyone, my name is Kyle. I've been day trading for a year now. I've been wanting to join the community for a while and am now happy that I did.

    Hope this doesn't discourage anyone who is just starting out. I've had a pretty rough time as a trader so far. Lots of inconsistency and losses over the past year. I guess you could say the only thing I am consistent at is losing. I know it's all a part of the learning process (I try to look at it as paying tuition), and I'm trying my best to be patient and to maintain a long-term perspective. The last five weeks have been particularly difficult though. I've literally had one green day. To say the least, it was quite demoralizing when I finally convinced myself to go back to the sim.

    I've been in other chatrooms and never really felt a sense of community or genuine mentorship. I guess that's what drew me here. Anyway, hope I didn't discourage anyone. I'm sticking with it and am looking forward to connecting with some of you guys here at BBT.

    Hi Kyle! Welcome to the community! Day trading especially at starting is really tough, hopefully being in a community going to help you as it already helped me! If you have any suggestions for us as a community let us know, and if you've any questions don't hesitate to ask!

    Hi Carlos,

    Thank you, that is very helpful.  I wish I would have known that the sim came with the DAS Trader Pro.  I would have just created the Pro Trader account.  I have paid for 3 months of sim, is there a way to upgrade that to the Trader Pro?

    Thank you for your help.

    Kelly

    Well, if you pay for DAS trader pro it'll cost you 150$ a month, whereas Das sim purchased from BBT costs 100$ a month. If you're willing to trade live + sim the same time then yes, PRO is the deal. If you're willing to just stick to simulator then I think the 3 months SIM will be a better offer for you.

    If you already purchased the 3 months of sim from BBT and started using it then unfortunately there's no way to upgrade/refund it 😞 If you just purchased it without choosing the date you want to start at then there might be a chance to refund yet.

    g with TWS is the difficulty of partialling out. Using their limited options to partial out will remove any stop loss you have associated with your origi

    Hi Patrick! I don't know how TWS works, but on DAS I've configurable hotkeys(Kyle's hotkeys) Automatically calculates my share size depending on where I want to put my stop at+automatic stoploss

    I also have hotkeys which I use to partial after which my stoploss automatically goes to b/e, if you don't want it to be at b/e you can just set it so that it doesn't stop you out at b/e. I think DAS is really configurable and you can play around with it to suit your trading style!

    I never had any issues with DAS and it satisfied me even more thatn I expected so I really recommend it

    Hi! 

    Trading the 1 min chart can get us in a mess, I honestly have been trading the 1 min chart for like 5 months. Imagine it, 5 months of only 1 min chart and I was convinced I was doing great until I decided to trade other timeframes.

    I use the 1/2/5/15/30/daily, but the main ones for me are 1/5/15. I use the one min chart mainly the first 15 mins, but I also pay attention to the 5 min chart, maybe the 1 min chart is giving us an abcd around the 20 on the 1 but on the 5 it's the third huge white candle in a row. Doesn't that indicate that the stock is extended and better waiting for a pullback? Yes I see an abcd on the 1, but it's so extended on the 5. After 9:45-10:00 I switch to 5 min chart. I want to see a setup on the 5, but my entries are on pullbacks on the 1. My stoplosses based on the 5 min chart, my targets are based on the 5 min chart. Later on the day I use 5/15(in the afternoon) I think it's even better if I just eliminate the 1 and watch the 5/15 in the afternoon which is something I'm working on right now!

    Regarding Andrew, don't forget he's trading the open and most of the times he's done the first 15 mins which is why he uses the 1 min chart a lot. Basically at the open the 1 min chart is everything you can base your desicions off. The 5 is important but you can barely find a setup on the 5 min chart the first 15-30 mins

    Yeah we'd love to know more details about the stock you traded, how much margin you needed to use and what's the broker. Or simply message the broker.

    The problem here is that some brokers don't allow you to use your margin(or part of your margin) on some kind of stocks. Basically it's their way of managing risk. They don't want you to lose their money.

    Thanks Aiman for the reply. yes, I've done the shading and I've just unchecked the premarket data for the 15 min chart... would be nice if there was a feature when premarket turns off once the market opens.. 🙂 

    You're welcome! By the way, you can always e-mail, or live message das support! Maybe your suggestion might get considered and we'll have that option in the future)

    I think you said it yourself, there are different ways of trading, none is better than the other. If you think about it, trade ideas scanner calls out for orbs after they break above the wicks, most of us here including Andrew take it after the break of the body(cuz it's the place where the candle closed as you mentioned, and as you said, getting in after the break of the wick can be so far, bigger room for stop, less size, and more difficult to get to the target. 

    In my own opinion, ORBs are more difficult than they look like, it sounds easy to trade them, take the break of the 5 min, 1 min, 2 min, or whatever time frame you wanna take, but it's not that easy, you've to analyze the price action, the power of sellers and buyers, and have a bit of bias according to premarket action or the ma's/daily levels below, above, or from which the price action bounces

    The best for me is to see an abcd on the 1 when taking 5 min orb, abcd on 5 when taking 15 min orb, or seeing the price action holding some kind of ma and according to it take the orb with stop below that ma, basically it comes up to an ORB, but with a mini setup. Not to forget the main rules for an ORB which are small body candle, small wicks, closer to vwap

    So bascially, if the setup on the 1 (abcd) is completed, and the C is visible, new 1 min high is the break of the body of the 5 I'll take it to the long for the break of the body. If the mini setup is completed with a perfect entry but above the wick of the 5, then I'll take an ORB when it breaks the wicks, it all depends on the indicators we've, what they're telling us, and the bigger picture we see after combining the small details!

    No trades again today. I only had about 30 minutes available this morning before having leave for the train. Everything seemed to choppy for me, as I am not one of those traders that trade before the 5 minute mark. There were some nice 1 min and 2 min Orbs this morning.

    Looking forward tomorrow.

    it's good to stick to your rules, and good that you don't rush a trade cuz you've only 30 mins available, a problem I really had and suffered overcoming! Sometimes white day is better than a possible red one)

    First recap of live trades on 8/9/19 by other half of EagleBear team.  Learning from losses and wins while practicing with triangles. Two good winners but too many small losers ended in a slightly red day. Working on being selective with setups.

    Just watched you recap! You're doing well! Love your early entries, and entries on pullbacks, that gives u decent R/R most of the time! Keep up doing what u r doing right now!
