Hopefully right forum, and this post conforms to posting guidelines.
This is not a commercial/business post. No memberships, fees, mentorships, or any of that stuff.
This is a discord chat server that is geared towards the serious ES futures trader.
First, the why.
Before I get there, let me tell you a bit about myself. I've traded futures for a decade. Currently, I open positions with 40-120 contracts. I don't work for a hedge fund, a prop firm, or any firm for that matter. I trade my own capital. I have done well, especially the last couple of years. It is a full time job, even though I am degreed in a professional field. I made my money there, and found out I had a knack for trading my own money.
It appears that most chat rooms fall into the "guru" catergory. That is, people spend money per month to have someone tell them what to buy and why. I make (or lose) more in a couple of handles than some of the fees these "gurus" are generating. Given the time and expense (did I mention time?), that it takes to fleece gullible members, why would anyone who is a serious trader do that? "Let me collect $100 from 100 people per month, for a whopping $10,000 per month while I engage in constant marketing and administrative time, whereas I could have devoted that time to improving my trading for the month and made 10x that? The second are prop firms chat rooms. Nothing against prop firms, but chat rooms should not be an adjunct to a money-making scheme, otherwise it becomes subservient to the success of the prop firm.
Whether you trade by technical analysis, sentiment, order flow, a dart board in your office or a monkey in your closet, we all have one goal- buy (or sell) high, and sell (or buy) low.
I spend about 60 hours a week trading in which time time I might make no trades or a whole bunch.
I am looking for fellow traders in the same situation as I am. I am a big believer in the efficiently rigged market theory; having more information is always better than having too little information.
I would join a chat room if a) it existed and b) it wasn't run by low net worth scam artists looking to derive their primary income from pretending to have an edge on the market. So far in my search, I have yet to find one. That is not say there isn't an ES trading room that is out there that meets my needs, just that I haven't found one. So the next step is to hope one is conjured up, or just do something a bit more likely, albeit a bit more work, and start one.
The discord chat invite is linked below. It is public (for now at least), will never charge or engage in anything like that, and may not be much for now, but hopefully through the ES trading community, plus a bit of luck, pluck and persistence, it becomes a worthwhile tool for all its members.
I am going to post this same wall of words in a few other sites. Hopefully, we will see you in the channel.
