Introduce Yourself!

[Lauren 5]

Hi Everyone!

I am an Optometrist in Canada but I've always had a secret interest in trading I just didn't know how to start. My husband actually bought the book off of amazon a few weeks ago for himself but once I got my hands on it I couldn't put it down. 

I joined BBT a few weeks ago and have been watching the classes and morning chatroom. What a great community. I just started in the DAS simulator -- Right now I'm working on customizing hotkeys and layout and focusing on 1 strategy at a time. If there are any other new traders practicing in the simulator that want to connect, I would love to get a small group together to throw around ideas/tips. Please reach out to me!

Look forward to getting to know a lot of you here.

Lauren

Hello all,

I'm living in Bangkok, but originally from Canada. Have been spread betting for about a year without knowing what the heck I'm doing. Tired of the slot machine and the hulk days and I'm now ready to really learning from first principles and getting my trading act together. I've quit my job (before all this covid stuff) and decided to focus full time on trading to immerse myself. 

I just joined last Monday and had my first few days of sim. Already learned so much from the trading vids and the chatroom. Also the community has been great and already learning from others here. Looking forward to becoming a consistent trader and being in control of my psychology. Feel free to send me a message if you see me in the chatroom - I'm RickBKK

Cheers,

Richard

Hola amigos

I started studying day trading about a month ago, when I had to close my business due to a little thing called covid19. Maybe some of you have heard of it?   My experience over the past month has been pretty wild. This is all before finding BBT. I decided to jump right in and open a TOS account, join a few chat rooms, take a few cheap online courses, and crossed my fingers. Unfortunately the world that I fell into was penny stocks. Whoa, what a crazy ride that is. I got into some pretty wild covid19 players and my account skyrocketed. As you could imagine that didn't last very long.

After about a month of that I thought that there had to be another way.  I quickly figured out that I like technical analysis and price action way more than trying to figure out the fundamentals of a company. I also realized that I don't have the emotional stamina for penny stocks. 

After doing some research I found Andrews book and quickly became interested. I joined BBT last week and have been loving it. The community and support seems amazing and, with a background in psychology, I love that this group really takes that part of trading seriously. 

I live in Portland, Or with my wife and 2 daughters. If anybody is ever in the area let's meet up. I would love to meet other traders. 

I am also on the lookout to network and find other traders who would be up for starting a small group within BBT to help each other out and keep each other on track. If anybody knows of a group that exists or is up for creating one with me let me know.

Adios, Casey!

Welcome to the club.  I live in VA as about 4-6 hours from you down next to TN.  There's lots to learn in this community fromt he education section of the site as well as from the Moderators during the pre-market as well as during the day. Just remember to take it slow and learn as much as you can so that you don't blow up your account.

[Romell Roberts 7]

Hey BBT,

My name is Romell, I'm a Correctional Officer in the Bay Area, California. I started trading April 1st after finishing Stock Investing for Dummies( don't recommend this book at all). Thanks to that book my swing trading portfolio is doing pretty well though, but it always felt a little too "hands off" for me. 

It turns out a friend of a friend was a professional day trader for 3 years using Andrew's books. Him and I had a long conversation about it and it seemed like it would be a much better fit for my personality. 

So right now the plan is for me and my wife to practice in a sim account and learn as much as we can. Hopefully in a few months we'll be using real cash and this can become a decent second income...or my new career, who knows...

Hi Romell, welcome to BBT! Make sure to stay disciplined in sim so you can be profitable in real!
