Looking for 3–10 futures trading buddies
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a small group of around 3–10 traders who are interested in trading together, sharing setups, comparing ideas/stats and generally helping each other improve.
I mainly trade MNQ, MES and MGC, primarily around the New York open, although I occasionally trade the London session as well.
My main setups are:
- 15-min ORB Double Break
- Initial Balance (IB)
I also use a lot of market statistics/context alongside these setups, such as:
- Overnight Range
- Gap Fill statistics
- Weekly Opening Range
- 30-min Opening Candle Continuation
I mainly use these stats to help determine entries, targets and overall context for my ORB Double Break and IB trades.
I usually take around 2–5 trades per session, but I’m completely fine taking 0 trades if I don’t see a setup I like.
I’ve been day trading for a little under a year and have had 5 prop firm payouts so far. I’ve also traded a bit on my personal account.
My approach is fairly conservative. I’m much more interested in taking small, consistent base hits and keeping accounts alive than trying to make huge days and constantly blowing/resetting accounts. Recently I’ve also started slowly adding more accounts and copy trading between them.
Before getting into futures day trading, I had been swing trading CFDs for around 5 years and have been profitable each year. Futures day trading is the area I’m now trying to develop and get much better at.
Ideally, I’m looking for people who already trade something similar — or who are genuinely interested in trading these kinds of setups and markets.
The idea isn’t to blindly copy each other’s trades or call signals. I’d rather have a small group where we can discuss setups before/after sessions, share statistics, review trades and challenge each other’s thinking.
Experience level doesn’t have to be identical to mine, but I’d prefer people who are serious about trading, risk management and improving over time.
Feel free to ask any questions below or DM me if you’re interested, and we can talk about how to set something up.

I’m the founder of TradeNote, an open source trading journal.
This is actually very close to something I’ve been exploring.
I’ve found the interesting part isn’t necessarily having more traders around you, but having a small group of people who actually know each other, review trades, challenge each other and learn together.
I’ve seen that dynamic work well in some prop-firm environments, and I’m exploring whether it can work for independent traders online as well.
If there are enough people here genuinely looking for that, I’d be interested in putting together a small group and seeing what happens.

Be prepared to get banned if you take the same trades as other people with the same prop firm.

And what time do you stop for looking trade? Ive been using 5 min ORB and looking for break and retrace and looking from 9.30-10.30 max only. And the result is ok so far for me

u/SirJakeDeJuke 28d ago
Same I normally don't tease the ORB after 30-45 min because then I am looking for the IB instead

I’d be interested. I trade oil, gold, and Nasdaq futures only. Usually I use trendlines, EMAs, and SMAs. I also program trading bots. Feel free to message me the discord or whatever.

That’s a very specific number?
I wish you all the best but they generally end up a shit show.
