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.
You'll need to register in order to view the content of the threads and start contributing to our community. It's free and simple.
Please register on futures.io to view futures trading content such as post attachment(s), image(s), and screenshot(s).
Like the last few years, 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 event: From now until the end of November, we will hold nominations where the users need to reply to this thread and nominate the candidates.
Then during December we will hold the actual voting, where users will cast their votes and select the winners in each category. Remember, we can only vote if first a name has been nominated!
So step one is to make nominations in each of the following categories:
futures.io (formerly BMT) Member of the Year
futures.io (formerly BMT) Thread of the Year
futures.io (formerly BMT) Journal 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
futures.io (formerly BMT) Webinar of the Year
Best Futures Broker
Best Forex Broker
Best Stocks Broker
Best Data Feed
Best Trading Platform
Best Trading Book
Like years past, if you have a suggestion for an additional category, please reply and let me know and I will consider it.
Indicators/systems/webinars/books etc do not need to have been created in 2011 in order to qualify. This thread is for the Best of Trading, which means the best that currently exists, regardless of when it was created.

Without a doubt, given the features in 7.11 and 7.12 and release cycle of new interfaces they've put out this year.
Best Futures Broker
Mirus Futures
I am moving my account to other brokers (for logistical reasons) but I still think they did a phenomenal job and will definitely be missed.
Best Forex Broker
PFGBest
For outsmarting regulators.
I'm thinking we should add a category for "futures.io (formerly BMT) Best Journal of the Year", since many of my nominations for thread of the year in the last post are actually journals.
Also, since we already have a MVP (member of the year), should we add a Rookie of the year?
What do you think?

Since there is too many journal in this forum, sometimes I don't know which one is the best to read. I only refer to the amount of replies and views to figure out which one I should read.
However, it only means that the journal had been exist a long time but doesn't mean it is the best.
