Elite Trader is predominately a forum based site. It caters to traders of all types, where type may be newbie/experienced, forex/equity/commodity, day-trader/swing-trader, to name but a few combinations.
The forums include coverage for a variety of topics. Here are but a few: Trading,
Stocks,
Wall Street News, Economics, Trading Journals, Psychology, Order Execution, Automated
Trading, Technical Analysis, Retail Firms, Prop Firms, Software, Educational Resources,
Futures (many categories here), Currency, Options, and Politics.
In addition to the forums, the following are rated, reviewed and commented upon, pretty
much on a daily basis: books, brokers, and software.
There is also an ability to chat in
realtime. There are quite a number of interesting Chat Room Transcripts.
Forum search is comprehensive but could use some improvement from a user-usability
perspective. Even so, I do find myself getting side tracked on to other threads,
finding useful pieces of information in most every forum I visit.
In a nutshell, even though there are the usual cranks and heretics, the site is rich in
content. I do visit the site regularily for the knowledge as well as the laughs. And
talking about humour, hidden away in there somewhere is a decent compendium of trading
and related and not so related jokes.
