#What this community is

Gain Trades is an exclusive Discord community for Nasdaq (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES) futures traders (and the smaller MNQ and MES contracts). Four experienced traders, our callers, post their signals in their own channels. Gain Bot, the server's own bot, follows the market after every signal and records how it really ended. That is the whole service: signals, discussion, education, and a record of how the signals did.

#Not financial advice

Nothing on this website or in the Discord is investment, financial, legal or tax advice. A signal is one trader's call, posted for education and discussion. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell anything, and it is not tailored to you. Nobody here knows your account size, how much risk you can take, your tax position or your situation.

Neither Gain Trades nor any caller acts as your advisor, broker or money manager. Every order you place is your own decision and your own responsibility: whether to trade at all, what size, where your stop loss goes, and when you get out.

#Education only

The daily analysis, the live commentary, the curriculum and the strategy calls are teaching material. Use them to learn how experienced traders read the market. Do not treat them as instructions to trade.

#Past results do not predict future results

A caller's place on the scoreboard, their wins, losses and breakevens, and their points are a record of what happened. They are not a forecast of what will happen next. Markets change, callers have losing streaks, and a strong month can be followed by a weak one. A result the bot records is also not a result in your account: the price you actually get, your size and your exits will differ from the signal as posted.

#Live figures and example figures

A visual on this website says in a short line under it whether it is live or an example. A visual marked "Live from our bot" shows the bot's real record, as called, one contract, before costs. A visual marked as an example shows prices, points, times and counts that are made up to show how the bot presents a signal and its result: they are not real trades, not real results, and not typical results. The coin-flip picture on the home page is a simulation of coin flips, not a track record. Where the site states a number as a fact (member count, plan prices, the recap time), that number comes from the owner and is kept in one place so it can be corrected.

#Leverage, contracts and accounts

• Futures are leveraged. A small move in the index can mean a large gain or loss compared with the money you put up, and losses can be bigger than your deposit.
• NQ and ES move fast during the US session. When the market jumps or spikes on news, a stop loss can be skipped over and you can get out at a much worse price than you set.
• MNQ and MES are smaller versions of the same contracts. Know what one point is worth in the contract you trade before you place an order.
• Funded and evaluation accounts. If you trade one, its rules (daily loss, drawdown, position limits) are yours to follow. Signals do not take them into account.

#Your responsibility

If you do not understand the risks of futures trading, do not trade. Consider talking to a licensed professional about your own situation before you risk money. By joining, you accept that you alone are responsible for your trading decisions and their results.

#What the bot does

Gain Bot follows the market after every signal and records how it really ended. It works from the signal as posted: the entry, the stop loss and the target. It does not take anyone's word for how a trade went. Wins and losses both count. No cherry-picking.

#One result for every signal

Each signal gets one result: what happened if you followed it as posted. The entry, stop loss and target the caller posted count, and so do his exits. When he says he is out, or that his stop or breakeven was hit, the trade ends there for everyone. A suggestion, such as "you could take profit here", does not end it.

How much the caller traded, or what he took off early in his own account, is his business and does not change the result. When a call is unclear, the bot asks the caller in his channel, and a person checks anything still in doubt.

#Wins, losses and breakevens

Every tracked signal ends as a win, a loss or a breakeven. The bot records the result in points (points are how far the price moved). The home and Results pages also show those points in dollars at one contract: $20 a point on NQ and $50 on ES, before costs. That is simple arithmetic, not anyone's account. The bot does not know your size, the prices you got or your account, and neither does the scoreboard.

#The scoreboard

Callers are ranked by their tracked results, so you can see who is consistent. Nothing a caller says about their own trade moves them up or down. The numbers in the server are the bot's numbers.

#When a result is in question

If a result is ever in question, a person checks it before it counts. The reviewer looks at the signal, the price record and the question raised, and decides what counts. The bot can be wrong; the human check is there for that reason.

#What is not counted

• What the caller says they made. The bot goes by the market, not by anyone's word.
• A result that is in question, until a person has checked it.
• Your own trades. The bot records the signal as posted. It never sees any member's prices, size or exits.
• What anyone made in dollars. The bot records points. The dollar figures on the home and Results pages are those points at one contract ($20 a point on NQ, $50 on ES, before costs): arithmetic, not anyone's account.

#Where to see the results in Discord

Each caller posts in their own channel (#sabb, #vuhn, #vx and #alex). The results have their own channels, and you can ask the bot directly in the server:

#How close calls are counted

• Entries within 10 points count. When the market comes within 10 NQ points (1.5 ES points) of a posted entry, the bot counts it as filled at the posted price. Callers type a signal a few seconds after they act, and the price moves while they type. If the caller moves or cancels his order, or says he never got filled, before the market trades his own price, there is no fill.
• Targets within 3 points count. When the market comes within 3 NQ points (0.75 ES points) of a posted target, it counts as hit at the target. A stop loss counts only when the market trades through it.
• Taking profit in two halves. Only a first target posted before it is reached splits the result: half at that target, half where the rest closed. When a caller takes some profit on his own (“taking half off here”), that is his own trade management and does not change the result.
• Breakeven means zero. When the caller says his breakeven stop was hit, the trade ends at 0, as long as the market came back to his entry (within 5 points) before he said so.
• “I'm out” is final. Once the caller says he is out or stopped, the trade is over for everyone, and a later “still in” does not reopen it. If he closes for his own reasons and says his target still stands, the trade runs on to the target or the stop.
• Timed to the second. Whenever the result depends on the moment the caller wrote something, the bot uses the market price at the exact second of his message.
• Calls made live. A call made on stream or in voice counts only when the caller logs it in Discord with /signal the same day.
• Posted calls stay posted. A caller cannot quietly remove a call that was posted and filled. It counts, unless a person checks it and agrees it was a genuine mistake.
• The website is 15 minutes behind. A new signal appears here 15 minutes after it is posted. Members see it live in the Discord.

#What the bot cannot see

• The bot uses the market's own price record. It reads every trade with its time, and checks the price at the exact second of each of the caller's messages.
• The bot compares prices. It does not know whether you could actually have traded at that price, so a target the market reached may not have been reachable in a real account.
• The bot is software written and run by the server. It is not perfect, it is not independently audited, and it is not a guarantee of anything. If you think a result is wrong, say so in the server and a person will look at it.
