My Favorite Trader Websites and Blogs

http://electroniclocal.blogspot.com/
This is a blog I found helpful the last few months. Some of my trader friends find it confusing. Decide for yourself.

http://www.futurestrader71.com/
Great professional trader shares his knowledge of market profile and other trading tips free - when he isn't too busy.

http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/
http://becomeyourowntradingcoach.blogspot.com/
Best blog on trader psychology. Great articles on both the market and on trading psychology.

http://www.elitetrader.com/
Great info on brokerage, proprietary trading firms, trading jobs and scams, etc. Many traders wrote their experiences here. Good place to rave and rant.

http://www.tradethemarkets.com/
I like their free videos - new ones available on most trading days. I don't much care for their pricey indicators. I get enough indicators on Thinkorswim and NinjaTrader -free.

http://esecfutures.com/
(Vlad seen to have been busy or away for some time now)
Vlad provides free charts and analysis of the ES and Euro on most trading days. Great free chat room for traders to share market observations, charts and trading ideas. After NYSE trading hours, there is more social banter and fun discussions. Most here trade the eminis and currency futures. Some play options and ETFs.

http://scalperindicators.blogspot.com/
Good technical info for scalpers. Gary of Ann Arbor shares his expertise here. He quite a quant.

http://stockstop.org/
This grew out of the Yahoo SKF message board. It is a great place to share trading ideas on stocks, ETF and options.

M6E (Micro Euro futures) is my main trading vehicle at the moment. M6E ($1.25 per tick) is my way to transition out of paper-trading. I like to trade 6E, YM & NQ in a few months - when I have more consistent profits with M6E.
