Hi, if I may add some of my thoughts .... I think a private setting has its pros and cons. As you've pointed out, most of the materials are already presented here. For those who take the effort to read, re-read, ask, clarify and practice, they will be able to pick up the necessary skills to survive in the market. The main advantages of a private "forum" would be the (1)freedom to share posts/videos beyond the constraints of FF, (2)a place to catch up and chit chat without cluttering the thread for newcomers and (3)maybe the possibility of sharing trading strategies in greater details (not sure how feasible as every trade is a different trade by itself or maybe we can start a small trading game as you've mentioned earlier).
That being said, I also feel that there's good value in FF. Besides the tools it provides, there are different views presented by a more diverse group. Even nasty posts can sometimes be beneficial as they train our mindset as traders and help us to see clearer our response to adversities. Each good/bad experience has its value to draw from. Furthermore, it is also less taxing for you as an individual to give your thoughts in comparison to maintaining a private "forum".
All in all, I would say that if you so decide that a private forum can help to better relate to friends here, we should have a go at it. Otherwise, I think many here are very much contended with what is already given
Have a blessed new year!

DislikedHi.
i had been thinking very deep about if i should carry friends to a private environment.where there would be freedom to move towards whatever direction we decides to go.
The issues i am thinking about generally are these.
If I reinvent the wheel.
Can we achieve what have been achieve here.
Just looking at FF's main page alone already i find difficulty navigating thru.
Think about those day nearly half a decade ago. Just to get proper unbias calander of event would had been a task. without pro pages from reuter or bloomberg, it would...Ignored
