Hey everyone! Below is my humble trading desk, that I hope to convert to a standing desk in the near future. I thought about cleaning it up, but it is in fact this messy most of the time lol. Please forgive my ugly mug blocking the pretty charts. BTW this is my wife's least favorite part of the house, so here's to you guys fighting for your own private real estate!
Rule number one in the markets is to never lose money. Well since that isn't realistic, I say if you're going to lose some money anyway then lose small, but when you win, give it all you've got and win big!
Congrats to everyone who participated in the October Battlestations event! The event officially ends in nine hours, and I will calculate the winners tomorrow.
Please make certain you've voted by using the Thanks button!
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this event!
My apologies for being slightly tardy with tabulating the results -- most of you know of my recent surgery, which has been time consuming to say the least.

It is my pleasure to announce a new challenge event for January 2019: Battlestations! (with $750 in prizes)
With this event, we are encouraging members to share pictures of their trading desks.

There are just a few simple rules to follow:
a) The contest begins January 1 and ends January 31. All decisions made by futures io are final.
b) One of the photos in your post must show the futures io logo on our website. Don't forget!
c) Take a selfie or have someone take a picture of you at your desk! For at least one of the photos, we want to see your face! We are making this optional but highly recommended.
d) The photos need to be uploaded here on futures io. No linking to external sites. No videos.
e) You may submit multiple photos (please do!) -- but only your first post in this thread, containing photos, posted between January 1 and January 31, and following our rules, will be considered for the contest.
f) Winners will be chosen by counting the numbers of "Thanks Received" on each qualifying post.
I am looking forward to seeing a lot of great trading desks! Please remember to follow the rules, and please remember to vote by hitting the "Thanks" button.
