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 can't thank you enough for the dedication and effort you have put into this journal. I have actually read to page 15 of this thread and have had to come back to the start to say, the time you have taken here to collate all your thoughts and actions has, is and will be of continued benefit to many, so thank you.
I hope with sheer force of will and the insights you and many other are sharing here on futures.io (formerly BMT) I will be able to learn and approach trading as a newbie with a clear and thought out approach.
You state above "Being a recording engineer in Nashville, Tennessee, I think trading would be a wonderful second career for me, as I enjoy the technology involved. Technical Analysis is fascinating."
Q: How long did it take you approximately from being first introduced to trading to get to the point where you committed to buying a platform on which you would trade?
I ask this question because it seems at this point you already had some foundation and knowledge about trading. How and where did you get this foundation from?
All the best,

Q: I've seen you refer to the "10/30 EMA trick" or similar "EMA trick" on other days in your journal. Could you or anyone that knows explain what this is, please? Thanks in advance.
All the best,

It is statements like this that let me know Big Mike is the real deal and has the best interest of the people on this forum. That being said step by step I believe we can get to that goal of making a living trading. I am far from there at the moment but with guys like Big Mike around watching over us there is hope.
