Hi
There are still a few places left in the new no-fees forex chat room I am setting up, using the ivocalise browser based (java) software. I am happy to pay the ongoing cost of the room as it is a relatively small fee. I am also keen to let potential members know that nothing will ever be sold in the room. My motivation in doing this is soley to help pass the trading day, as boredom/isolation is the biggest threat to my trading.
I am trying to develop a friendly productive chat room where traders can hang out during the trading day/their trading sessions that is both friendly and enjoyable as well as being a useful/productive/engaging place as a result of the intelligent discussion of technical conditions/fundamental matters affecting the market.
I have been involved with a few chat rooms over the years, some good, some not so good, and the same problem (s) seem to afflict them all sooner or later rendering them empty. Meglamaniac/ego driven traders/moderators, false calls, disruptive elements and/or the 'lurkers/hangers on' not contributing but demanding answers to the same old questions is what seems to drive the good traders away.
This room will hopefully be different by limiting it to maximum 20 traders and having it invite only/password protected, and by having a mix of traders/styles and experience, trading mainly the 4 major $ cross pairings. 20 members is a good number and should ensure that there will always be a handful or more members in the room at most times.
As an example I tend to specialise in gbpusd and trade a fairly intense methodology designed to capture small intraday positions. All styles are welcome though and your discussion can be limited to the general technical/fundamental conditions affecting the majors, without having to give away your trading edge.
What is important though is that if you wish to become a member, you do contribute to the discussion so that we keep things lively/engaging. Of course there are times when the market (s) are flat and this has an effect on the amount of discussion, but too often these rooms are full of participants with only a small handful contributing to any discussion. If you want to make trading calls, that's fine too, as long as they are timely, and what is more useful is an explanation, that may prompt further discussion, of the reasons behind your entry to the market.
Early September is when I intend that we should begin with the chat room and if you want to have a look at the ivocalise software in the meantime http://www.ivocalize.net is the link. The rooms have a whiteboard,and also enable the easy posting of web pages/charts as well as full text/audio facility (it will be an audio room) and recording.
If you wish to become involved please private message me here with a brief description of your style/experience and any any other pertinent details, so that I can send an introductory email to all members ahead of the opening of the room, introducing us all to each other.
However the room develops I can give you my guarantee that it will be a place where people are pleasant to each other, free from bullying/ego, and hopefully, it will become a lot more.
Thanks,
bbmac.
