I scalp ETF's for a living. Recently left my prop firm to trade independently. I miss having a live chat room to chat with other traders about calls, entries, exits, picks, current market direction, TA, watch lists, current events, etc. Not looking to form a group for the purpose of me spitting out calls all day (I am NOT always right) but I will share my entries/exits & winners and losers and would like to see what others are trading as well. No bashers, no winers, no obscenities. Let's keep it clean (G-rated), professional and purposeful. If interested , private message me.
honestly...your best bet, if you want a truley "quality" group rather than just wannabes is to wait. Talk with guys you meet etc, maybe some of your old prop buddies, etc, and after a while you'll start to develop a close knit group of trading "friends". You may not all have the same methods, you may not all have the same style, but after a time you'll know if you are dealing with real traders or just blog hoppers. Thats what I did, actually had a blog up for a about a year, met some "regulars" who actually made quality contributions, and eventually (as of March 6th) created a private blog/chat system for me and the ones who actually contributed rather than just stole ideas. Small group, 8 guys total, and we all trade futures, although everyone seems to trade something different with a different style (spreaders, outright guys, intra-day, swing traders, even one stat guy!) Everyone brings something to the group, and we all benefit, and I like to think that we've all become quite good friends as well. But you won't get these "connections" posting on a site such as this, you'll only get them over time.
half of our group is spread traders...trading mean reversion or hedged direction on intra and inter commodity spreads. the other half just trades outrights...directional biased trades on a single instrument.
Hey been thinking of setting up a chat room.. one of those freebee places.. paltalk etc. Tired of the Guru pay me $300 per mth to listen to my calls!!! Crap!!! Im telling you not many people actually make $$ daytrading. I challenged many Gurus.. and they could never cough up a statement. I have no problem showing my trades for the day. If you want me to host a place.. cool or what ever.. I dont want to moderate or entertain... just pit ideas.. some entries.. call it a day... btw this is my 1st post
