Hi Members


I utilize Ninjatrader exclusively for both mechanical and discretionary paper trading and would please appreciate any links or information from members on what route produces the likelihood of successful traders who trade as a living.

I am a 20 year veteran as a stockbroker and would like to trade as a living. I’ve been searching the net and have found very good info but really nothing that provides a road map so to speak.

I'm not sure if utilizing and working with a NT support partner is a good start or perhaps join a prop firm?



Please, I understand this question has a many different answers. I'm simply looking to obtain sound advice in the basics of trading direction. Questions such as which markets are the best to trade, money management, bid/ask spread on various exchanges, recommendations to only watch price charts are topics I've read in the past.


Appreciate any links or advice.


Thank you for your time.
