It would be great for us to have a discord channel where we can discuss things that are relatively live. I'm just floating ideas here.
I am in a 0dte discord channel and it was super helpful to see others in the same boat as me discussing what works and what doesn't.
Thanks Huey. Yes, I can well understand the value of such services and looking into similar. Will check out Discord which is new to me.
It's free to set up a server and invite people to join. People only pay for things like badges, custom images, emojis, etc
This is my first ever post and the reason that I am posting is to support the idea of the discord channel. It is one of the best learning experiences for communicating ideas in current time, and it is very easy.
Also here just to say that discord would be very nice. Give some students a place to chat about their ideas, review each other's trades and learn together.
I am also very supportive of this idea!
There used to be a Slack group, but it wasn't very busy. It would definitely be good to get something like this going again.... Since Al is only doing the trading room 2 days a week a slack or discord group might be more popular so that we can help and support each other.
Discord would be great!
There is a Discord channel which has now been classified as official for BTC members. Maybe Richard will be able to help here. I tried opening the link to share here but seems like the link expired, not sure what happened there.
Not to sound like a killjoy though, in all honesty, would having a Discord channel be really helpful? We have the support forum here where the big guys(there are a quite a few of them) answer the questions when inadequately answered by relatively beginner members(someone like me).
In all honesty, if you don't have someone like them looking over the content you're discussing, odds are you'll be discussing technically inaccurate stuff which is a grave mistake you shouldn't be committing. BTC is a highly technical course and you need to make sure you're getting your stuff right which doesn't happen without proper overlooking by these big guys.
Over and above that, most serious traders would refrain from discussions on a forum during live trading hours. So, my humble opinion - instead of creating another place for discussions where not so tech savvy people like me would feel lost, why not keep all the resources for future reference purpose at one place(that is this forum)?
That way we all can learn from everyone's experiences and doubts.
I consigne what Abir is saying.
I agree in theory but the Facebook group had a lot of personal chit chat / negative comments which I didn't enjoy - it was to your point exactly - without the more experienced traders clearing up the confusion it was all subjective advice without clear trading-edge probability/risk / reward / trade-off parameters... ie opening breakout, but it failed, what are the options... Al doesn't base his trades on feelings unless he has some clear procedure which has a profitable traders equation first... having said that, Discord is great for live chat if there is a way they can keep the standard high!
I agree, questions relating to BTC should be left here in this forum, that being said I would also join a discord server dedicated to the teachings of Al Brooks and the members of the course.
Would have to be careful as to keep the discord private to members of the course only, and to make sure no one is divulging course information in the discord. In those senses, it may just be best to keep discussion here on this forum. The admins here do great and we do not need anything else. If anyone wants to start a personal discord to just talk price action, and he al brooks method they can create their own. If so, send me an invite! Id love to talk about it
I agree!
I'm in a trading Discord channel and it's great. To the ones who don't know Discord, it's like an evolved chatting service.
If I can be of any help, let me know.
I love Al's technique and a Discord to share with others who are on the same path would be great!
A discord would be great. I am in one but the group trades volume profile. They do have multiple channels for different aspects of trading from theory to charting to computer setups which is helpful but everyone is focused on volume profile and the DOM. It would be easy enough to set up separate channels for different topics and even have a hang out spot for chit chat.
Hi guys and gals,
Ok, have looked into Discord and have to agree with the majority view that it can be a useful community tool for those who take to it. I personally find it a distraction from trading, as Al himself has confirmed to me, but I can get one setup soon to see how it goes. Give me a little more time as so much other stuff to do.
I am talking with the BPA Admin guy and can try a trading room channel for those in room to use - without Al himself using/answering questions.
The support forum still has a role for us all so do try not to lose yourself in Discord or any other online community out there. 😊

@abir Can you share more on the Discord channel you are referring to? Or has it gone?
We will have an "official" Discord channel very soon. So keen to find any rooms out there with BTC members who need to join the "Brooks Trading Course Community".
To be clear, this support forum will continue as it provides a totally different and valuable service. Discord is a chat room which will primarily support our upcoming expanded trading room service. Stay tuned. 😎
Hi Richard,
This is the link I was talking about Here . It was first shared here, Blog report . Eventually, at some point it was said by the blog writer that this had become the official Discord server for BTC members, I can't recall where. Now, the link does not work(or at least that's what it feels).
If you are looking for BTC members in groups, I think you can contact Carpet H. He/she/they is founder/member of a Telegram group that has quite a few members. He/she/they might be able to help you out in putting the members together at one place.

If it is something official, I suppose it will add value to the members. So, I would look forward to it. I would request you to keep moderators over there as well to minimize chatter(and hence distraction). Good luck!
I would like an update when a Discord channel becomes available!

Carpet H has done a good job with the Telegram group but in my limited experience with Discord, and from reviews I have found, Discord is more rich in features and so easy to set up separate folders/channels.
Plenty of good words for Discord in this thread so can anyone give me a really, and I mean really good reason not to go with Discord?
I will be announcing enhancements to trading room service very soon, and want a good chat room available in time to support room.

Just wanted to clarify, I am by no means endorsing him, I am not even part of this Telegram group. Was just pointing out that he is currently coordinating a Telegram group, which for all I know could be similar to a Discord channel. Like I pointed out before, I am not very familiar with technology(new).
Looking forward to what you have in store.
