    Hi Brashy & Jaimie - welcome to the AZ BBT club!

    All the best in your trading journey. From my side the update is that I went live in Jan this year using CMEG after 6 months of SIM paper trading. Tried for couple of months, lost quarter of my capital (luckily had started small) and quit day trading in March. Instead have been trying my hand at swing trading, still trying to hone my strategy with it. Biggest lesson in my live trading journey - whatever you do, have a stop loss!!

    Hi Guys,

    Sorry, I wont be able to join today. Got some stuff to take care from my day job. I pulled the plug on day trading & closed my CMEG account. Am inclined towards giving Swing Trading a try, Brian has his weekly take and suggestions and I have also joined the 4 week free trial of Swing Trader - will see how it goes. BBT membership is always going to be there so lets see.

    You guys have fun!

    Hi James/JJ;

    I'll try to make it on 3/11 too - though I am taking a break from live trading to regroup & rethink my next step. Thur is a working day for me so I'm not 100% sure I can get out for a couple of hours, it's a long drive from my place in Ahwatukee.

    Thanks,

    Upendra

    Hi Jason,

    Hope it's going well for you with Aiman, let me know how that's going in terms of improving your skills - thought it must be costing you some??

    I had a week off and restarted today. Hit daily loss target and stopped. Trying to discipline myself and avoid another hulk day.

    All the best!

    Pretty lousy week...finished 30 days of SIM trading and things don't seem to be improving. This week did away with the target of having daily profit/loss goal, just tried to learn how to pick a strategy and execute it. Another area of improvement was to try and limit per trade loss to 25$, assuming a 5000 bankroll and 0.5% per trade loss target. Did a better job of that limit. Need to improve the RR ratio, right now it reverse 2R, lose twice as much as gain.....also need to make win ratio higher, it's hovering around 50% mark.

    Hope you guys had a better week. Take care & stay safe!

    Hello everyone!

    I'm Upendra, living in Phoenix since 2007. Just became a lifetime member about a month back. I've been in the IT industry for long time now, currently in a business development role with a local IT company. Family of 4, wife & 2 sons, elder son is studying CS here in ASU, Phoenix and younger one is in 8th grade.

    I got into trading quite late, only after the commissions were eliminated. Due to the covid WFH had time & started dabbling with day trading, swing trading just based on gut instincts and some tips from online articles & another friend who is a regular investor. Made some & lost some, decided to make an effort to learn about trading. Andrew's book was the catalyst to make me believe that it was doable and the right way to find out was to try on the SIM and see for myself. Like some of you guys, tried Ross Warrior Trader, he is good but compared to BBT, I found it to be a 1 man show and the low float/low price stocks were too volatile for a beginner like me. After the 2 week trial on both BBT & Warrior Trader I opted to join BBT and am glad that I did. For now I'm trading on DAS SIM, with modest goal of trying to first stay green consistently, then make $50/day, then $100/day - after that start live trading.

    Lucky to have got couple of fellow new Life Time members who joined me as a small group and we are trying to help and learn from each other.  Whether or not I make the grade to become a full time day trader it has been a fun journey so far & its great to see so many people like me trying to make it to the next level.

    Take care & stay safe!

    Upendra
