Hey everyone! Below is my humble trading desk, that I hope to convert to a standing desk in the near future. I thought about cleaning it up, but it is in fact this messy most of the time lol. Please forgive my ugly mug blocking the pretty charts. BTW this is my wife's least favorite part of the house, so here's to you guys fighting for your own private real estate!



Rule number one in the markets is to never lose money. Well since that isn't realistic, I say if you're going to lose some money anyway then lose small, but when you win, give it all you've got and win big!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this event!



My apologies for being slightly tardy with tabulating the results -- most of you know of my recent surgery, which has been time consuming to say the least.

First, let me thank Stage 5 Trading again for providing these prizes:

Please visit Stage 5:
https://stage5trading.com/

We will be giving away $500 in Amazon Gift Cards for this event, plus $447 in autographed trading books, split into (3) as follows: 1st place $250 Amazon Gift Card + autographed copy of the Global Macro Edge, 2nd place $150 Amazon Gift Card + autographed copy of the Global Macro Edge, 3rd place $100 Amazon Gift Card + autographed copy of the Global Macro Edge.

The details on the autographed book "Global Macro Edge – Maximizing Return Per Unit of Risk", written by John Netto (a $149 value), can be found here:
https://theproteantrader.com/products/the-global-macro-edge-maximizing-return-per-unit-of-risk

The winners are as follows:

#1 @RDK91 for a $250 Amazon Gift Card, plus autographed book
#2 @00cedge for a $150 Amazon Gift Card, plus autographed book
#3 @miskhr for a $100 Amazon Gift Card, plus autographed book

These are excellent prizes, for excellent contributions by the members of our community. Thank you to all the members who have chosen to become Elite Members to show their support, as always.

I will be in touch shortly to arrange/coordinate the prizes.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi guys,

Just to follow-up, all info has been shared with Stage 5 so they can get the prizes to the winners, as of now. I am sure they will work on it quickly.

We will hold a new Battlestations event in January.

Nice. I think there were some pretty cool Custom Rigs for Flight Simulators in @tturner86's X-Plane / MSFlight Sim Thread

Hi guys,

It is my pleasure to announce a new challenge event for January 2019: Battlestations! (with $750 in prizes)

With this event, we are encouraging members to share pictures of their trading desks. We will be giving away $350 in Amazon Gift Cards for this event, plus $400 in commission free trades*, split into (3) as follows: 1st place $400 value [$150 Amazon Gift Card + $250 commission free trades*], 2nd place $250 value [$100 Amazon Gift Card + $150 commission free trades*], 3rd place $100 Amazon Gift Card.

These prizes are provided exclusively by GFF Brokers, a site sponsor on futures io. Please thank GFF Brokers for their contributions to our community, and for agreeing to exclusively sponsor the January Battlestations event!

There are just a few simple rules to follow:
  • a) The contest begins January 1 and ends January 31. All decisions made by futures io are final.
  • b) One of the photos in your post must show the futures io logo on our website. Don't forget!
  • c) Take a selfie or have someone take a picture of you at your desk! For at least one of the photos, we want to see your face! We are making this optional but highly recommended.
  • d) The photos need to be uploaded here on futures io. No linking to external sites. No videos.
  • e) You may submit multiple photos (please do!) -- but only your first post in this thread, containing photos, posted between January 1 and January 31, and following our rules, will be considered for the contest.
  • f) Winners will be chosen by counting the numbers of "Thanks Received" on each qualifying post.

I am looking forward to seeing a lot of great trading desks! Please remember to follow the rules, and please remember to vote by hitting the "Thanks" button.



Thank you to GFF Brokers as the exclusive site sponsors for this event, donating the (3) Amazon gift cards totaling $350 for this event, plus $400 in commission free trades*.

Please visit GFF Broker’s website to learn more about their brokerage and platforms:
https://www.gffbrokers.com/

GFF Brokers also has an AMA thread with their CEO (Greg Khojikian):


* Commission Free Trade offer details: Exchange, Clearing, NFA, Technology Fees are excluded. Available for new customers only. Accounts must be approved by the FCM and IB; minimum account opening balance of $2,500. Customer will be charged commission in his/her/their account and then reimbursed within 30 days of the last trade. Free commission will expire 30 days after initial trade has been placed in the live account.

There is a substantial risk of loss in trading futures, options and forex. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.


Offer to Receive free CME Market Data for all of 2019



For Elite Members, GFF Brokers also has a special offer to receive FREE CME Market Data for all of 2019:
FREE CME Market Data for all of 2019 – limited time off expires on January 31 2019 February 28 2019!

Elite Members use this link:
Elite offer: FREE [AUTOLINK]CME[/AUTOLINK] Market Data for all of 2019

Client must submit the online request form to opt-in to this offer. Offer expires on 1/31/2019 2/28/2019. Free Market Data is limited to Non-Professional CME market data for new clients only. Accounts must be approved by the FCM and IB. Must Fund with a minimum $5,000. Non-Professional CME market data will be billed on the account and then reimbursed by GFF brokers each month for up to 12 months; expires on December 31, 2019. If there is no trading activity in the account for more than 30 days, GFF Brokers reserves the right to deactivate the market data on the account and client forfeits the remainder of the free market data. There is a substantial risk of loss in trading futures, options and forex.
