PS How can I save threads or subscribe to them here?

To subscribe, scroll up to the top of any page. Click on the button marked "Follow."

Also, in UserControlPanel ("UserCP") > Edit Options > Messaging and Notification > Default Thread Subscription Mode, you can choose to automatically add a thread to your subscribed list if you post to it (the default).

In UserControlPanel > Subscriptions you can view your subscriptions and remove any you don't want to keep.

Also to unsubscribe, scroll up to the top of any page where you are in a subscribed thread. Instead of a "Follow" button you will see "Unfollow."

Bob.

Hi guys,

It is my pleasure to announce a new challenge event for March 2020: Battlestations! (with $1,500 in prizes)

With this event, we are encouraging members to share pictures of their trading desks. We will be giving away $1,500** in prizes in total, as described below.

Prizes:
  • 1st place: $500 of Shark store credit, or a $250 Amazon Gift Card
  • 2nd place: $300 of Shark store credit, or a $150 Amazon Gift Card
  • 3rd place: $150 of Shark store credit, or a $75 Amazon Gift Card
  • Everyone who posts a selfie* will receive a 50% off Elite Membership coupon code

These prizes are provided by @SharkIndicators, a site sponsor on futures io, and futures io is providing the Elite Memberships. Please thank @SharkIndicators for their contributions to our community, and for agreeing to sponsor the March Battlestations event!

* The 50% Elite Membership coupon code will be given to anyone who makes a qualifying post that includes a selfie. You can use the coupon code yourself, or give it away to a friend.

** The $1,500 prize amount is estimated, calculated by taking the SharkIndicators prizes and adding an estimated number of Elite Membership discount codes we anticipate giving away. Actual amount can only be determined after the event is over.

Here are the rules:
  • a) One of your photos must show the futures io logo on our website. Don't forget!
  • b) Take a selfie or have someone take a picture of you at your desk! Optional, but highly recommended!
  • c) The photo(s) need to be uploaded here on futures io. No linking to external sites. No videos.
  • d) You may submit multiple photos (please do!) -- but only your first qualifying post in this thread will be considered for the contest.
  • e) You are ineligible to win if you have previously won a Battlestations event within the last 12 months.
  • f) The contest period is March 1 to March 31, 2021. All decisions made by futures io are final.
  • g) 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 @SharkIndicators as the site sponsors for this event.

For Elite Members, SharkIndicators also has two special offers: a) Receive a $150 discount on a BloodHound Ultimate, and b) Receive a $250 discount on a BlackBird trade manager.

Not to be combined with any other offer, one use per customer

Get more information & receive the SharkIndicators discounts:
Elite Members.

You can find all the available Elite Offers here:

Please visit SharkIndicator's website to learn more about their products and services:

Have a question about Shark's products? They have an AMA thread with Zac White (Co-Founder):


(Note: This post is written February 16th to let you guys know what is coming in March. But remember, don't submit your Battlestations post yet -- you need to wait until March to qualify for the prizes!)

Mike

Battlestations, March 2021 edition -- has begun! I look forward to seeing those trading desks!

Mike
