Let's review the markets and plan ahead to continue crushing the month of April while everyone is out enjoying their Sunday Funday at the bars :). I’m going to take a look at /ES, /NQ, /YM, /RTY, /GC, /CL, $DXY, AAPL, BA, DIS, JPM and SQ.
So after completing the $30k combine to become a funded trader with TopstepTrader, I decided to make a video to give an honest review of the company, their trading combine, the Tradovate platform and what it takes to actually pass the combine.
Not the most traditional path to take in trading. However, if you’re someone that wants to pursue a career as a day trader, but are limited on time, or don’t have a lot of capital (less than $5,000) to start with then futures trading is a great fit for you. Of course trading futures can be riskier then trading stocks due to leverage from low margin requirements. But that’s why risk management should be your number one focus.

Good afternoon and happy Sunday Funday to everyone! This will be the first of many stock market reviews on my blog so I can keep you all informed each week on what is happening with the markets.
This past week was mostly a consolidation week with a little bit of selling due to the Turkish Lira taking a plunge. This same scenario happened in late 2018 causing the markets to sell a bit more violent. However the dip was bought both times. 2800 on /ES acted as strong daily support with Friday rallying into the close.
Tomorrow is April 1st so let’s start off this new month in spectacular fashion!
In case you didn't already know, I am a BIG TIME surfer. I will drop everything if the swell and conditions are right to surf 8 hours straight (or until my arms feel like they are about to fall off). Yes - that even means calling in "sick" to my 9 to 5 job. In this post, I share with you 8 ways in which surfing is just like stock trading.
Before you can begin investing your money, you need to choose a stock broker where you can hold your money to choose your investments. Reviews.com does an excellent job explaining which brokerages are the best for online trading and investing. Reviews.com provides a lot of useful information such as commission fees and account minimums.
One of the most common questions I get when I speak with people just starting out with investing is how much money do I need to start. Luckily there are many options to effectively invest your money that are suitable for someone with $500, or someone with $5,000 or more. This post should help you choose which option is best for you based on your current financial situation.
The numbers will make your head spin, but it really just comes down to simple math. The less money you are spending on your car every month, the more money you have to put into other more important things: your kids’ college fund, your retirement, and paying off any other debt you might have.
To be clear, I have zero experience working in the financial industry. I am an ocean engineer by formal education and currently work as a software developer, which I taught myself in less than two years. What I do have is a passion for learning, problem solving and helping others, especially when it comes to personal finance and investing.
