Thank you for reading. and guests and newcomers, ET can be a very great place and it is.
Where can you go to get honest and sometimes abrupt commentary from professional traders and experienced retail traders....You can hobnob with the Elite here...
ET is simply the best and Austin I am admonishing you to not leave ET, as we need your commentary...
Of course everyone realizes that ET is not a free advertising ground for charlatans...so leave your wares at home guests... and lets get down to discussing trading....
This is a fully moderated playground for you, including the PM's and no one will abuse their privledge here as guests and I can assure you that you will not be innundated with spam here...so lurkers join!...guests...contribute!...and learn from everybody ok?
May I remind us, that there is a complain button in the bottom lower right of EVERY post here...USE IT. There is a team of moderators standing by...now enjoy and please visit often.

Surf, always a pleasure
In no way do I mean to disparage ET. At all. However, the true viewership does not appear huge. There are several large public sites that you (or any trader) could post in that cost nothing OR ACTUALLY PAY to post pertinent, educational content. That would mean educational, how-to based content... which likewise attracts people serious about trading as a profession.
For anyone who wants to promote = conduct business, contributing to several other professional online venues would get far more eyeballs at no cost or even paltry checks in the mail. Compare that to the structure of this forum. ET can be a nice place to pop in and visit, no different than the local neighborhood pub.

Leave one alias per heartbeat, eliminate the rest.
Count all unique users who have logged in within the past 60 days. Ignore the rest.
Eliminate all posts - clicks in the forums not related in any way to trading.
Recalculate true serious-trader viewership based on that.
How "huge" do you think ET is? I have my own opinion, please conclude yours. I would imagine any paid sponsor would like to know how many unique users with sincere interest in trading products - services they are exposed to. Multiple, myriad usernames and some number who have zero interest in trading are not target-rich environments.

These sorts of actions will be considered, but I am not that sort of moderator. Perhaps reading this thread and my contributions might get the intended mileage...lets leave it for a while...
Now I have a question...Why can't the adults here post accordingly and follow the rules of conduct? we are all adults here right?

Sorry, I agree this belongs in chit chat or a similar forum but it looks like you all miss the point, nowhere did I say that austinp is not welcome or should not post anymore, the discrepancy between what he says (I will NEVER post.....) and what he does (posting over and over gain) is just a fact

Well ... ET is "big" enough to attract a set of vendors who are constantly putting up $$ to show themselves here. Just a fact. I dont believe these vendors would be here if they were not getting results in referral hits and business. The number and quality of consistant advertisers and forum sponsors suggests to me that ET must be a significant "player".
BTW, Austin i appreciate your posts re content as well as the way in which you handle the assholes and ElectricSavant. So, dont leave, dammit.
cheers

How is that "better" than doctored blotters? Each party calls a trade. There is no proof the caller actually takes the trade. It might even be the "other side" of the callers loser trade. No different than some of the journals around here. With photoshop, unless the user is a true graphics pro, telltale signs of doctoring are left behind.
Austinp, don't waste your time with these ETiots.
