"How to connect to S&P and NASDAQ FUTURES Daytraders

There are lots of trading chat channels that are hosted on the Othernet servers. Everyone is welcome to
join them. There are several programs that you may use to connect to the
Othernet servers. We recommend you use mIRC. To join them, please do the
following steps:

1. Download mIRC. www.mirc.com for a copy.

2. Install the mIRC program by double clicking the file that you have
just downloaded.

3. Start the mIRC program.

4. Click on FILE, then click options. Under the category connect, you
will see a pull-down menu. From the pull-down menu scroll down until you
see the OTHERNET servers. Choose any Othernet server that is close the
your location. Then click OK. (if that does not work for you for some
reason, you may join an Othernet server by typing this in the status
window with no quotes:
"/server irc.othernet.org" This should get you on an Othernet server.)

5. Click on the lightening bolt on the upper left hand corner of the
mIRC program.

6. Once you are connected to the Othernet server, a screen should pop up
and ask you what channel you would like to join. At the top of this pop
up screen type
"#s&p" - with NO quotes. Click on JOIN.

7. Now is the time that you need to come up with a nickname. To change
you nick type this with no quotes: "/nick (nickname)" Example: /nick

one of the interesting features of this irc is the realtime posting of trades.
you can use a few macros and easily post when you buy or sell.
I know a trader who paper traded that way for a while with help and advices from the other traders.
the futs chat rooms are usually more interesting than stocks ones because there is no hyping relevant (or pump and dump etc..).
also at any given time you can check who is long or short, very informative.
