Hi, it's Neilyo.
I started learning price action in February 2025 with the goal of becoming a full-time futures day trader. Since then, I’ve spent a full year trading on a demo account, followed by two months on a $10k live account, which I stopped trading after taking a 50% loss. I then transitioned to prop firms, where I blew 5 accounts and only managed to pass one evaluation—though I never successfully secured a payout. Currently, I am back to trading on demo.
Previously, I was learning from the strategy shared on Forex Factory. However, my heart has always been in futures rather than forex, and I feel like the strategies on FF don't fit well to the futures market. After seeing some members on FF mention that futures.io is a dedicated platform for futures trading, I decided to join. I'm here to learn from a strictly futures-focused perspective and to connect and share experiences with other traders.
As you may have noticed, the site futures.io was rebranded (I think 1-2 years ago), as the owner at the time wanted to expand the site's user base accomodating other financial instruments too.
You will find, however, that the site is still very much heavily futures-oriented.
The experience you mentioned is a pretty typical one in the financial market. You will find several reviews (and wildly differing opinions) about "prop firms" (a word of caution, the ones offering perpetual evaluation accounts for a fee are, in fact, self-styled prop firms, not to be confused with actual prop firms) and their business model.
In any case, I hope you enjoy your stay here. If you have any questions just let us know.
