@KosherTrader, I want to address the issue of Elite. I think most have answered you with why the $100 is really worth it, as oppose to your idea that information shared by others should be free.

Let me address this: The idea of the $100 is a business savvy idea that separates people who are just all over the net seeking free stuff versus those who are committed to reading and participation.

The growth of any community depends on 2 things:
1) Readerships (actual time that they stay on the net, measured and indexed by Google)
2) Commenting, which would mostly come from those who want to participate with input and/or ask questions that are for the sake of knowledge. This grows content, provides good input and presents different aspects to the same issue.

Therefore, the $100 is a “door qualifier” in my personal opinion where a better community would be built due to higher readership and participation. Those who pay are committed, free seekers or “moochers” come and go.
Look at some other forums: Their readership, participation and views are in a state of decline. Why? Quality is lacking and scarce. If they charged for it, half would be gone, but quality would stay.

Most of those who can’t pay $100 can’t afford to trade, and sooner than later stop participation in the site because trading is just another fad and not a commitment for them.

I know there is a lot of good info outside of trading that floats for free, and some of it is really good. But, everything and anything eventually leads to a sale. At least at futures.io (formerly BMT) is outright honestly upfront.

I think Mike really tries to help customers and the development of this site, hosting, webinars, etc and that does cost money. Finally, it’s his business, and I respect that he can do whatever he sees fit in order to grow his business. After all, it is America.

Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

Hmmmmm $100 for the 'best threads'?

Not really, try:

- A bunch of software
- A bunch of educational material in the form of exclusive webinars
- A bunch of discounts on various products/services

@KosherTrader - I think Mike is clearly offering something in the above that is not available on other forums.

There's no push to have Elite members create threads only in the Elite section.

If you have any questions about the products or services provided, please send me a Private Message or use the futures.io " Ask Me Anything" thread

One good reason is that because it requires a small but still monetary contribution, many or most tire-kickers and spammers will stay away of it, or after banned once won't do repeated registrations as it is not worthy for them.

Trade to live. Not live to trade.

Does anyone recall this same topic being covered a few times before in other threads. I feel like I've seen this same exact question covered in a previous thread...

The most interesting thread (2012) here:

I see the price is at $100/mo, I thought it was at $50 a few weeks ago. I don't think it's been adequately explained why some posts / downloads are only accessible to Elite members. I had read it was due to prevent indicators from being widely disseminated..but lots of good posts seem Elite only. Please explain why this is, then I will gladly subscribe if this is adequately explained.

And I'll throw this in for good measure, based on all your other replies:



This answers your question.

I also noticed a similar thread was started on ET around the same date you started this thread.

Forums - nexusfi.com (formerly [AUTOLINK]BMT[/AUTOLINK]) Elite Membership

Same banned people over and over. There is another thread that addresses that in more detail and lays out facts, but it is only for Elite Members so no need in giving you the link.

I don't understand why people keep thinking bmt is a vended system or needs to be a broker verified vended system just because it requires a fee. It almost makes me want to hit my head against the wall. It would be comical if it weren't so redundant.

No worries. It's working as designed, serious people support the site, and most the others stay out.

Personally I've found many of the webinars posted on youtube hugely valuable, so paid the $100 to say thanks to BM for organising those. Everything else was just a bonus.

Elite membership of futures.io (formerly BMT) requires little explanation. It's a no-brainer IMO. Look around and you'll soon realize what you're missing. Good luck.

This is my second post here and this quote said it all. I have spent about two weeks looking at the content outside of elite and it was truly a "No Brainer".

Eta: Sorry to the mods for drilling up a old thread, you guys do have a wealth of information and the cost is truly insignificant for the benefits one reaps for being an elite member.
Thanks to BigMike and the Staff!
