futures io is the largest futures trading community on the planet, with over 100,000 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.
I want to put together several polls in the coming weeks so that in December everyone can cast their votes for the "best of trading", a series that I intend to hold each year going forward.
I will then place these polls on the forum home pages during December and will update this thread with the results at the end of the year.
Here are some categories I've identified so far:
futures.io (formerly BMT) Member Of The Year
futures.io (formerly BMT) Indicator Of The Year
Best Futures Broker
Best Forex Broker
Best Stocks Broker
Best Futures Data Feed
Best Futures Trading Platform
Best Forex Trading Platform
Best Stocks Trading Platform
Best Free Trading Room Service
Best Trade Management/Journal Software
1) If I have missed some important categories please let me know.
2) Please use this thread to start submitting nominees for each category.
I will have our graphics design guy create a set of trophies for each category.
Due to time constraints, please do not PM me if your question can be resolved or answered on the forum.
Need help? 1) Stop changing things. No new indicators, charts, or methods. Be consistent with what is in front of you first. 2) Start a journal and post to it daily with the trades you made to show your strengths and weaknesses. 3) Set goals for yourself to reach daily. Make them about how you trade, not how much money you make. 4) Accept responsibility for your actions. Stop looking elsewhere to explain away poor performance. 5) Where to start as a trader? Watch this webinar and read this thread for hundreds of questions and answers. 6) Help using the forum? Watch this video to learn general tips on using the site.

But why have you not included a category for 'Paid For' Trading Rooms?
I appreciate issues about promoting commercial vendors, but you do have categories for best broker and best data feed etc which are commercial endeavours.

That's what this thread is for -- I'll listen to everyones comments for new categories and in the case of a paid trading room category, I'll read everyone's posts that are for or against the idea.
Thanks for your post.

I vote ninja trader as the red headed step child award for the year. I think this is a valid vote since maybe they will finally realize there are customers in their business model
