This past Saturday, Jan. 27th, MrTopStep hosted a webinar featuring a group of traders from the MTS IMPRO trading forum. The focus of this meeting was to not only showcase the talent level of the traders at MrTopStep, but to also emphasize the advantages of social trading. The benefits of having an entire collective of traders to bounce ideas off of throughout the day are truly endless.

Let’s face it, the retail end of this business has been dwindling for years, and those that survived this long have done so because they know what they’re doing. Walking in with a game plan, sharing that plan with your peers, and then opening your mind to receiving honest, straight forward feedback is just one of the ways we begin to transform ourselves from a ‘market participant’ to a ‘proactive trader’. It’s a difficult path, one that requires discipline as well as determination, that’s why we feel having a group behind you to evaluate and critique is invaluable.

The traders in our forum have been around for a while, and there is very little they haven’t seen. Take the time to listen to what they have to say here, it will change the way you look at the markets.

All of the presenters in this webinar are daily participants/contributors to the MrTopStep IMPRO trading forum. Below the video you will find all of their contact information. I encourage you to reach out to them with any questions.

This was something new at the time.

With Carr until 2000, Dave was floor manager overseeing broker operations in the equity quadrant on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
