futures io is the largest futures trading community on the planet, with over 90,000 members. At futures io, our goal has always been and always will be to create a friendly, positive, forward-thinking community where members can openly share and discuss everything the world of trading has to offer. The community is one of the friendliest you will find on any subject, with members going out of their way to help others. Some of the primary differences between futures io and other trading sites revolve around the standards of our community. Those standards include a code of conduct for our members, as well as extremely high standards that govern which partners we do business with, and which products or services we recommend to our members.
At futures io, our focus is on quality education. No hype, gimmicks, or secret sauce. The truth is: trading is hard. To succeed, you need to surround yourself with the right support system, educational content, and trading mentors – all of which you can find on futures io, utilizing our social trading environment.
With futures io, you can find honest trading reviews on brokers, trading rooms, indicator packages, trading strategies, and much more. Our trading review process is highly moderated to ensure that only genuine users are allowed, so you don’t need to worry about fake reviews.
We are fundamentally different than most other trading sites:
We are here to help. Just let us know what you need.
We work extremely hard to keep things positive in our community.
We do not tolerate rude behavior, trolling, or vendors advertising in posts.
We firmly believe in and encourage sharing. The holy grail is within you, we can help you find it.
We expect our members to participate and become a part of the community. Help yourself by helping others.

Like last year, futures.io (formerly BMT) is holding its annual "futures.io (formerly BMT) Best of Trading" awards where the users can select the best of the best in a wide array of categories.
The award process is a two stage process: During November we hold nominations where the users need to reply to this thread and nominate the candidates. Then during December we will hold the actual voting part, where users will cast their votes and select the winners for each category.
EDIT: Fri 11/11/11, added two categories - PLEASE NOMINATE IN THESE CATEGORIES, TOO!
So first, we need nominations for each of these categories:
futures.io (formerly BMT) Member Of The Year
futures.io (formerly BMT) Thread Of The Year
futures.io (formerly BMT) Programmer Of The Year
futures.io (formerly BMT) Indicator Of The Year
futures.io (formerly BMT) System Of The Year

EDIT: Added Fri 11/11/11: I want to make it clear that the indicator/system does not have to be created this year to be eligible. It doesn't matter when the indicator/system was created, all that matters is that you guys think it is the best!
Please reply to this thread and start nominating --- please make it clear in your post what you are nominating for.
EDIT FEB 1 2012:
The winners have been announced. I apologize for the delay.

I'd like to remind everyone to step up and nominate their favorites for each category. We should be looking at a large number of nominations. And then in December we'll take all these nominations and make a list so everyone can cast their final votes and winners be selected.
And yes, before someone asks... I put NinjaTrader on the list, even though I haven't used it in a couple years... as I am considering looking at it again (haven't decided, largely a matter of time and priorities).
