what trading communities do you hang around?

What is your favorite trading community? Reddit, discord, telegram, etc.

Telegram for discussions about prices, tokens, and new exchanges. Bitcointalk community for knowledge, and Reddit for funny and sometimes useful links.

for trading purposes, I think the Trading Discussion section here on bitcointalk can give you enough hangout place for some ideas on how you could increase your chance to profit.

Indeed bitcointalk is underrated when it comes to the information you can gain. I learned a lot about bitcoins in general from the forum, whether it was how to sign a message using the private key or it was about how mining actually works. The trading Discussion section is sometimes repetitive in terms of content but it's still useful and everytime I visit, I learn something new.

Telegram is full of scammers so I rather prefer channels for knowledge and some selective groups that I know don't have many spammers.

The problem with joining groups is that anyone can message you in private from these groups and tell their story with a common motive of trying to scam some money.

Great discussion everyone!

I wasn't very clear about what I am looking for. Basically, I am trying to get involved with people who deal in crypto in general & looking for a good community of traders to discuss topics with.

I am not looking for signals or pump & dumps & I am not coerced easily by social media posts & such without my own research.

Where I live, I do not know anyone personally who is in the crypto space & not expecting to find anyone, anytime soon. Like @TheNineClub has answered, looking to build more personal relationships to share thoughts & more, so if anyone knows a good group of people whom welcomes anyone, that's what I am looking for!

Thank you all for the responses & hope to get to know all of you & more soon enough!

You're probably not going to find a trading community that doesn't have some sort of pump & dump/FUD element to it. There is just no way.

Even when people seem to be professional (as they appear to be on Tradingview), they are just pulling TA out of their ass and using it to support their arbitrarily crafted investment thesis.

Perhaps bitcointalk would be your best bet, then. The speculation community generally holds some truth amidst the chaos. I would advise you stay away from TG groups.

Probably, one of the good platform to get an information about in trading communities is Altcointalks forum, Beermoney forum, and
Bitcointalk forum, these platforms are very helpful to everyone who wants to feed themselves about in learning cryptocurrency, Bitcoin and etc. This is just a thought and observation of mine only.
