A World-Wide Community!

Why Joining a Trading Community?

Dr. Brett Steenbarger, a trading expert and psychologist, and the author of great trading books such as The Psychology of Trading and The Daily Trading Coach, once wrote:

“There is no question in my mind that, if I were to start trading full-time, knowing what I know now, I would form my own “virtual trading group” by connecting online (and in real time) with a handful of like-minded traders.”

Trading alone is difficult and can be emotionally overwhelming.

It is beneficial to join a community of traders and ask questions, talk to them if needed, learn new methods and strategies, get some hints and alerts about the stock market, and also make your own contributions. There are many experienced traders in our chatroom that we learn much from each other every day, and we tip each other off about potential good trades and setups. It is extremely important to remember that if you are in any community of traders, you need to be an independent thinker. Generally, people change when they join crowds. They become more unquestioning and impulsive, nervously searching for a leader whose trades they can mirror. They react with the crowd instead of using their minds. Chatroom members may catch a few trends together, but they will also get killed together when trends reverse.

Chatroom Content Schedule

Along with what is listed above, throughout the week we have several events for our chatroom members to partake in. Below is the schedule of events and a brief description of each event.

Premarket Show
Join Carlos and Norm for the premarket show to find stocks in play as well as the daily levels that we will be watching.

Morning Trade Session with Andrew
Join Andrew while he trades the open, live. You will be able to hear him talk through his trades and watch his trades in real-time. Andrew usually starts around 9:15AM and typically trades for an hour or so. Sometimes he finishes up earlier depending on whether he hit his daily goal or not.

Day Trade and Market Review
Brian discusses the trades that were taken from the open as well as looks at the overall market to determine how the rest of the day may play out.

Midday Markets with Norm
Norm’s Midday broadcast begins about two hours after the market open and leads into lunchtime. Usually a slow time of the day, we look for any late reversals and keep an eye on the scanners for stocks moving on breaking news or other catalysts while also winding down any long running positions from the open. As the market slows down, this is the optimal time for members to ask questions on just about any subject involving trading. This includes strategy questions, platform setup, psychology, or just about anything else you can think of.

Monday Swing Trading Session
Brian does a high level market status review, goes over some swing trades he is either currently in or looking at for an entry and takes traders questions on their swing trade ideas.

Trade Review: Improve your Trading
Submit trades to be reviewed live for technical and psychological analysis by a Bear Bull Traders team member. These sessions help you to find your weaknesses, pinpoint your strengths and improve your future trades.

Workshop Wednesday
In our hour-long, weekly ‘Workshop Wednesday’ series, different moderators discuss different elements of trading, such as trading a small account, risk management, journaling, etc. Each week is a new subject and a different mod presenting. Please note: These sessions take place in the classroom.

Live Trading with Peter
Join Peter and watch the markets through the afternoon looking for great trade set-ups. Trades will be called out live in the chatroom.
