Hello everybody, 

I am Olus, from Belgium. I work as a Consultant in Financial Services after +16 years working in Brokerage where I held commercial & operational positions. 

I trade for more than 12 years now,... Although I am good with investments management, I suck at trading where all of my 12 years have been in the red. The reason is simple: I tend to TILT after a couple of losing trades and begin revenge trading with overleverage, with a well known result: blowing my accounts & losing it all. 

When I look to my past performance, I see that 10 to 15 trading days are causing my accounts to blow. I can have 10, 15, 20 positive days but when it have a 3-4 losing trades streak, things get wild and I lose control. 

This is thus the area I work on and the reason I have joined this community. Ensure to follow my trading rules & stick to my plan. 

I know that it is the losing days limits which allow us to have positive results at the end of the year. I have read tons of books on Trading psychology, which is a passion of mine. It is now time for me to respect the process. And I count on the presence of the members to support & motivate me on this path.

Hello,

I'm Eleanor, from Ontario, Canada. I've been a BBT member for a couple months now and recently started sim trading with the funded account. I work a corporate job that I enjoy, but have been in the same role for a long time and wanted to learn something new, and I have been intrigued by day trading for a long time and decided now was the time to learn. I love the community focus of BBT and hope to see many of you in the chatroom!

Hi BBT Family,
I'm Harry. I became a proud BBT member on May 30, 2024.  I learned of Andrew in his first book, How to Day Trade for a Living. Soon after, I bought and read, Day Trading for a Living.  Recently, I bought and read the Introduction to Trading Psychology.  In becoming a proud BBT member, I've received the Advance Techniques in Day Trading, which I'm planning on reading soon.  

I've been an option to swing trader or investor for nearly 20 years.  After reading Andrew's books, I'm interested in becoming a Part-Time Day Trader.  

Looking forward to becoming a valuable member of BBT family.  
Thanks,
Harry

Hello Everyone! 

I'm Jeremias Lopez, and I started my membership a few days ago. I have no experience in trading, but I read Andrew's "How to Day Trade for a Living book" and that got my hooked. I then read a book about Charting analysis by Fred McAllen. I am really eager to learn and practice in the simulator once I feel like I got enough knowledge. I am an IT professional. Been working in IT for the past 20 years and looking forward to slowly switch into a different way to generate income.

Thanks,

Jeremias

Hi gang - I have heard some very good feedback off the site so I thought I'd give it a try.  I was a member over at Warrior Trading years back, but I am of limited means.  This is a strictly an educational adventure for me for the time being.  I am here to absorb, and hopefully make a few mentors.   Best regards - Jon
