Most of free trading rooms finally lead to selling something to you, such as software, indicators, newsletter, one on one training...here is my experience...
I attend a free trading room, in the room, the host, whom I respect very much, often tries his hard to induce people to buy his one on one training and newsletter, he always tell people that some advanced classes are for one on one training only. so I paid $1200 for the one on one training, at first few classes, he was fine, but after that, he start to kill time at training session, when he was teaching me, most of time he was typing and chatting with other guys, and lost the topic with me. Such things happened for the rest of classes. Sometimes he cancelled classes for personal reasons, he is a broker too, he hopes I can bring my clients to him, when he found he could not get my clients, he simply cancelled the whole course (the training is not finished yet).
Conclusion: very disappointed about this guy and his course, my feeling is to pay for getting fooled.
Hi Supermht, was this much earlier in your trading education? I remember in the CJ Booth free room a couple of years ago you were doing very well without need for CJ's setups.
I had a similar situation. Room wasn't free, I paid for one month. but the host wanted "everyone" to sign up for the "apprenticeship" which was about $4-5k; Luckily I realized the guy was shoring up the performance with trades after hours and he slipped up the room trades were all sim once. I felt like I was the only client in the room. Sometimes the host would talk to others but it seemed to be other "staff" or always the same "other" "clients". They didn't show how many others there were in the room. I did a review post on the place a year ago.
1) it is free of further monthly extra costs plus surprises
2) I know "I am the only one" in there anyway (except the cat)
3) the risk on any trade taken is solely on my side
4) every winner goes to 100% into my pocket
and last but not least
5) I have no need to cancel a costly membership
hmmm - forgot about the sexiest: I can trade on SIM
or for REAL and NOBODY cares
Hard work, harder work and more hard work.....honesty, self-reflection, accountability, mental fortitude and pristine money management. Your success is in your hands, and yours alone. Trading education is a wasteland. Few beacons of light. I would however recommend marketgeometry.com. Not a trading room. But a solid educational site run by a great, world-renowned trader (Tim Morge).
I recommend the Klowne Roome, links to which are posted in the futures.io (formerly BMT) Forum chat box from time to time.
It has charts that show some unusual ideas that may be useful in addition to normal charts of ES that you already have (don't you?) with stuff like VWAP bands for timing entries based on trend continuation, mean reversion, etc.
It's just an informal screen share and the only cost is having to put up with me. Can only hold nine visitors and I am not sure how much longer I will be doing it.

".........I strongly advise you stay away from ALL of these places. Look, I don't want to tout futures.io (formerly BMT) as the best place ever, but you really can learn a lot more from this forum (and for free, or the price of a small donation -- very tiny in comparison to these other sites) than you can learn from these other sites selling indicators or trade calling services. That is not to be said one of these places may be worthwhile, but for the most part, no one can sell you something that is going to make you a better trader, no matter what that something is. You asked for my advice so there it is.......
I agree with Big Mike on the above statement.
I have been to many rooms, paid or free, many are not trustworthy. Even the honest one does not know how to trade profitably. So those rooms come and go. Check out Paltalk rooms for trading. You will see my point. If you decide to go into a room, just watch and DO NOT actually trade for at least 1 months, not just 1 day or 2. IT's your hard earned money, don't loose it because it appears to be good. I have seen it many times. Some room owners was doing fine for the first few days or weeks then everything went against him/her. Also, stay away from those that sweet talk to you how good he is. One of my worst experience was with this Marek (polish accent guy) ,he is a crook 100%. Do not go into his room under any circumstances. If you want to learn Market Profile, James Pendleberry is a honest guy. But mp is widely used. IMO, price action is the best.
Join a room for your learning benefit and not for following others.
Just do what Big Mike suggested, learn yourself. I am now a better trader when I learned it all myself.
It many take time but definitely will save you money in the long run; so later you can use that money to trade when you are good and need it.
Then back that up with substance. Show your trades, the techniques being used at a high level. You don't need to review any secrets, we've been around the block long enough to be able to tell if something is valuable or not. Don't point us to some cheesy web site!
Also, you seem new to trading, winning strategies stop to work after market conditions change. Seasoned traders here can validate if your claims have any value. We've been on a strong uptrend, the market is very forgiving these times.
The value of this forum is exactly to avoid the hundreds of bad businesses out there, if you are not willing to contribute in that way, there is no point in posting here. We come here to help each other as traders and avoid the pitfalls that many of us went through when we started trading (btw, if you really are in this for the long term you will not really need any newsletter... )
Be careful out there and good luck!
