Live Trading Room (European, US, and Asian Markets)

Sunday January 20, 2008

Live trading rooms are online chat rooms where a professional day trader trades live, while other day traders watch, ask questions, and trade along with the professional trader. Trading rooms have many benefits to all levels of day traders, and they come in several different formats. If you are unfamiliar with live trading rooms, full details about live trading rooms are available in the live trading room glossary entry.

The Day Trading Site's Live Trading Room

I have been considering opening a live trading room for some time, and I have decided that the start of the new year is a good time to start a new trading room, so the day trading site's live trading room will be opening shortly.

The day trading site's live trading room will be suitable for all levels of day traders (and some long term traders), and will primarily focus on live (or simulation) trading, and discussions of various day trading topics. The trading room will be active during the European morning (approximately 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM Central European Time), and during the US morning (approximately 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM Eastern Time, which is 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM Central European Time). The markets that will be traded include the European, US, and Asian stock index futures, some European and US stocks, and the US currency futures. The trading systems that will be traded will be the trading systems that I teach in my seminars (some of which are not yet available on the day trading site), but I will answer questions about other trading systems and day trading in general as well.

If you are starting to think "a live trading room must have high monthly fees", then keep reading ...

In keeping with the concept of the day trading site, the live trading room will be free, and will be accessible using a password that will be posted to the day trading blog at the start of each week. I want the trading room to benefit the largest number of day traders possible, which is not going to happen if it has high monthly fees.

I am currently choosing the format and the software to run the trading room, and I would like to get an idea of how many traders (or potential traders) will be in the trading room. If you are interested in being part of the live trading room, please send me an email (daytrading.guide at about.com), or leave a comment in the blog.

This is a great idea. I believe I have the potential to make a very good living, but I do need some guidance. Perhaps this is the answer. By the way what do you, or any of you think if these infomercials such as Investools or better trades–do you think they provide consistant yearly returns?

ThankYou! Sign me up!
