When you are a trader it can be very lonely at times. When I first started and I was studying online I felt I needed a community to help me along on my journey. It always helps to know that there are others that have walked in your shoes or can sympathize with what you are going through and the emotions you might be feeling.
Just like when someone goes through a divorce, they feel like them might be the only person that is feeling this pain and difficulty in life. The reality is that many people have dealt with divorce. If you speak with others it can help lift you out of your personal funk and downward pyschological spiral.
All that said a trading community can help you with your trading in my opinion.
Connect with a community
There are more trading chat rooms and trading rooms and stock education platforms out there in which you can share with others. I know that for me the first community of traders I entered was a filled with a bit too much testosterone and one up man ship. Who was the best? That mindset was not the best for me because it made me feel poorly if I had an error in the beginning.
I then reset and joined a second trading community that offered 3 different points of views instead of just one traders viewpoint. This really helped me to learn that your winning strategy has to mesh with your capital that you can commit, your timeframe you can commit and your risk tolerance.
This acceptance by a community of traders virtually is great, however having a chance to meet with them in person is even more fulfilling. That was the whole reason why I developed the Modern Traders Summit.
The Basis of the Modern Traders Summit is for traders to come together in a real life atmosphere to share their experiences, their techniques and connect in person. The first trading seminar I went to was a year and a half into my day trading career and afterwards I realized that if I had visited one in the first 6 months I could have streamlined my learning curve.
So in 2018 the Modern Traders Summit was born to bring positive traders to speak to other traders and interact. This is not your sales pitch type summit it is to help other traders and really allow you time in person with some bigger names in the trading world. There will also be a live trading day on the second day so you can see them in action. No putting them up on a pedestal, they are right there with you to help you.
This year it will be held in Philadelphia Sunday and Monday July 12,13th right in downtown by city hall. Seats are limited and selling out quickly, so make sure to reserve yours before we sell out.
There are two methods of thinking the Glass Half Full or the Glass Half Empty. Do you have the scarcity mindset? Do you worry about not having enough money or enough free time? You have the ability to change that and it comes with the people that you surround yourself with on a daily basis.
If you find yourself in a trading room that does not fulfill your positive thought tank of yourself or your thoughts then maybe you need to assess if it is the best for you. I know I went through that in the beginning of my day trading.
You can beat yourself up or you can have environment that says hey learn from your mistakes you are along the way in your journey. You are new or learning a new strategy be kind to yourself and know that no one was perfect at the start.
There is so much psychology in Trading and if your trading community isn’t giving you the ability to self reflect in a positive way, then do you want to stay there?
I mean do you think that Surgeons knew just what to do their first day of medical school. I highly doubt it and you do yourself an injustice when you look yourself in the mirror and you tell yourself you suck or your are awful because you had a bad trade.
All that being said I want to tell you the traders that I mesh with the most in their positive environments.

The tool I use for scanning and alerting is Trade Ideas who offer an always free trading room. You can receive 5% off with Promo code CARPEPROFIT15 all caps when you sign up here for your first year or month
Trade Ideas will be offering the quarterly full access test drive of their software their software in Nov 2019 for the cost of data fees $9.
Another amazing software is Trendspider that has a new innovative rain drop candlestick that shows the volume for the morning session and afternoon session as far as the weight of it in price action. You can try them for free for 7 days here and receive 20% off with MTS20

We are in a very exciting time in the market when the cost to enter the market is dropping daily. In the past month we have seen all brokers drop their securities commissions fees down to zero except for Vanguard.
So no commissions means it is easy to practice trading with real money. You could buy 1 share or 10 shares depending on the value of the stock and really practice your entry and ext to determine your best strategy to keep risk to a minimum.
You could try trading the super low float, high volatility and high momentum stocks . You could try trading the blue chip stocks that have high daily range as well. It is the perfect time to practice with small money after you have learned basic knowledge of how to trade.
I am not recommending you to trade with zero knowledge about trading, as that is very important first.
You might say yes Jane I want to get into trading, but I have no money to trade with right now. This is something that I hear from people quite often.
In fact I know of a flight attendant and she wanted a better life for her family so turned to trading. However capital was a barrier.
If this is you then Prop Trading Firms might be your answer. However I only found one virtual prop firm for Stocks the rest are for Futures and Forex.
Prop Trading Firms
You might be wondering what on earth a prop trading firm or proprietary trading firm is and how can this help you.
Well a prop firm or proprietary trading firm is a firm that allows individuals to trade the firm money for profits for the firm and the individual trading the money.
There are always certain rules imposed such as the breakdown of the profits firm to trader, the maximum amount of drawdown or losses before the firm will cut you off, and certain education requirements
To be honest this is the only virutal prop stock firm that I could find. There are many 4 wall office prop firms, but you have to go in person. Tradenet hosts everything virutally allowing you the flexibility to prosper.
Tradenet can give you the opportunity to learn how to day trade, and potentially enjoy extra income. Learning how to day trade the markets, taught by our top moderators, Meir Barak and Scott Malatesta.
Since 2004, Tradenet live day trading academy has educated more than 30,000 professional traders worldwide.
They also offer a free 5 day demo account with 14K to trade to test out their methods.
If you find that you are interested in working with them they have 4 different programs that you can choose from in your desire of education in order to receive funding to trade
Intro Program after training has been passed then you are eligible to apply to trade a $14,000 funded trading account. You will receive 70% of the net profits you generate and will have a maximum drawdown of $700.
Student Program after training has been passed then you are eligible to apply to trade a $80,000 account. You get the account with a maximum drawdown of $4,000 and will receive 75% of the net profits.
Expert Program after training has been passed then you are eligible to apply for a $160,000 funded trading account. You receive 80% of the net profits with a maximum drawdown of $8,000.
Pro Program after training has been passed then you are eligible to apply for a $240,000 funded trading account. You will receive 85% of the net profits that you generate with a drawdown of $12,000.
Tradenet also has a virtual trading room live on Youtube during NYSE trading hours. As well as a free book by Meir Barak all about trading after 20 years of experience.
Meir’s Book is The Market Whisperer. You have two choices you can sign up to get a digital copy free or purchase from Amazon.
For now Tradenet is the only Stock Prop Trading Firm that I have seen virtually. All the others for stocks are a physical locations where you have to go into an office to work.
If you trade Futures or Forex them these firms below might interest you as well with their fees being low to enter to receive access to funds from $95/mo for $25,000 access up to $500/mo for $250,000 of funding.
One Up Trader is a funded trading account for traders that are interested in trading Futures securities instruments.
The way to open up an account is to go through One Up Trader’s 1 step assessment and then you will be able to sign up for a free trial of a $100,000 funded account for 14 days. Then you have the choice of the level of funding you want based on a monthly cost.
There are 4 options of Novice, Beginner, Advanced, Professional and Expert.
You have the choice of profit split between you and One Up Trader receiving 50%/50% or 80%/20%. I searched to see if they clarify who gets the 80% and I believe that it is 80% to the company and 20% to you, but I could be wrong.
The amount of funding for each of the different accounts is Novice $25,000, Beginner $50,000, Advanced $100,000, Professional $150,000, and Expert is $250,000.
One Up Trader’s fees are monthly based on your choice of profit split Novice ($95/$125), Beginner ($120/$150), Advanced ($240/$300), Professional ($300/$350) or Expert ($500/$650).
One Up Trader’s Trading guidelines are fairly simple, 15 trading days a month not including weekends, only the permitted products, you must be closed out by 3:15 CST, Maximum Position Sizing based on the account you choose, to reach your profit target, daily loss limit (if met shuts down trading for that day), not to hit your trailing drawdown, showing consistency in your trading.
I did look into if this is only available to certain countries and their website says if your country or city is not accessible on their sign up page then it is not available to you. It seemed to me that most countries are available.
The Top Step Trader Program Is for Futures only. Like One Up Trader you have to go through an evaluation to receive the ability to be funded.
Top Step Trader allows you to prove yourself in a simulated trading account with profits and risk management and then you have the ability to choose your funded account.
Now just like One Up Trader, Top Step Trader has their own parameters or rules that you must follow to remain being funded.
The Rules are fairly straight forward. You can only trade during permitted times, you can’t exceed the daily or weekly loss limit, you are not allowed to exceed the trailing maximum Drawdown, you can’t hold positions into major economic releases and you have to follow the scaling plan.
The final prop firm that I found that is good for Futures and or Forex Traders is Earn2Trade. Much like the other prop firms mentioned above you do have to go through a qualification process to be able to trade with their capital.
Earn2Trade is similar to Tradenet, in that they offer you 3 different training programs to reach your funding account.
The Crash Course consists of 60- 10 minute videos to help educate you on the market, risk management and technical trading. The cost for the Crash Course is $249 for lifetime access.
The curiculum is set up to run you over the course of 6 weeks. I’m not sure if you have the ability to do them more quickly
The Bootcamp is a 4-6 month long course with a price tag of $2499. What the biggest difference is with the Bootcamp is a personal mentor that is a licensed professional.
The Bootcamp is a 360 view of trading including Earn2Trade , Crash Course and then 4 more months of mentorship and the Gauntlet. Once you have completed the Gauntlet successfully you will receive a funded account offer.
The training program is actually a 2 part. They have the mini-Gauntlet and The Gauntlet. The Gauntlet is a 60 day program and the Mini Gauntlet can be done in as litte as 15 days.
The Gauntlet is a one time fee of $249.00 for $25,000 and The mini Gauntlet fees are monthly similar to One Up and Top Step Trader.
So you can see that the Mini Gauntlet is the newest addition but the monthly fees could really add up if you are trading more than the $25,000 capital amount.
Potentially with patience you could spend the $249 and then grow it up and it is a one time fee instead of monthly cost. I’m not sure if they would let you transfer from the mini-Gauntlet to the Gauntlet after a 60 day time frame.
