    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    If you were the 'money finder' for a fund, why would you go on ET and make so many stupid posts and piss off so many people? If I met him and considered him for a position and then found his posts on ET I would run, walk, try to fly in the other direction. Does not make sense.... I guess...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    Nope wrong again. Nothing to sell. I would like to avoid ET going out of business and all of the content on this site being lost. I have not backed up some of the older helpful forums that I refer to from time to time. As a developer I also respect the time and effort Baron has put into...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    Baron: another idea is to allow members to vote on the posters value to the conversation and then post the average of all of their votes below the screen name. You could have catagories such as: Master Mentor Valuable Contributor Motivated Learner Beginner Frequent but Low Value Forum...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    What is sad is that if less than 5 people where banned -- no changes would be necessary. Individuals desiring to build a content repository on a specific subject could do so without being harassed. In less time it would take to implement and test the proposed changes Baron could permanently...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    Baron, another suggestion is to allow members to 'ban' an individual. This should not be limited to moderators who should for the most part be invisible. If anyone receives X number of complaints with Y number of days from Z members he or she is banned for 90 days. Simple. Moderators can...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    Predictable --- imagine a party where you are having a conversation on a topic you find interesting that you wish to explore in greater depth. Then, you notice the party loudmouth join the discussion and completely hijack the topic and the tone and tenor of the discussion. Fine, it is a large...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    I have been reading since 2005 and of all the comparable sites this one has changed the least. New features needed: A place to upload scripts and exchange indicator tools. A forum for regular webinars provided by vendors and profitable traders. Really nothing here. Quality content...

    The Kelly criterion - is it good...or bad?

    Some good comments from Cutten, thank you. The attached research paper describes using a fraction of Kelly to produce a 'never look back trading goal' to reach a point where your chances of giving everything back to the market is very small. It is one of the better papers I have seen on the...
