Hello. This is my first post so please let me introduce myself.
I'm in a converstion stage of my outside of 9 to 5 income making. For a little over a year now I have been making outside income from playing cards for money. Basically the whole idea with cards is to play your edges well when you have the advantage in your favor. The problem is that this is time consuming and I am bored with it. There is also pending legisation to put an end to the kind of card playing that I do. So.......... I'm looking for something more legit, and something I can grow with better as my income and assets grow. Thus my search has put me here.
For now I have read the three books listed in the stickied posts: "Trading in the Zone", "Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom", and "High Probability Trading".
I do have a few questions right now though. What platform should I look at. Link in his book likes Tradestation however it looks like Metatrader 4 is popular here. What I would like in a platform is the ability to write code so the platform tells me when I have reached an entery and exit signal. I would like to program any system I use into the platform so that I can possibly move to a computer based system one day what will do trading for me while I'm at work.
Second: What trading system should I use to reach my goal stated above? Any suggestion?
For now though I think I'm going to have to start going through and writing a Trading Plan Template. I plan on using the one published in the stikies since it seemed to work so well for Isotonic (thanks Isotonic)
Ok a little long winded here. If anybody has any advice or suggestion to get me up and running, or to point me in the right direction then please share. I would appreciate all comments.
