So what is it that you do? Build web sites or trade?
I will go easy on you since you admitted to being under the influence, and I certainly don't mind if you offer us your two cents. I will take issue however, with your claims, statements, irrelevant comments and possibly your grammar and composition.
What kind of example is the amount of time it takes to design a new website? What does that have to do with carrying out a traders ideas? What does that even have to do with trading? Once again, I ask, do you trade or build web sites? If your idea of a traders idea is to get your firm to pay you for designing a web site, then maybe you should give up on the idea of trading in your time off from building web sites.
As for an internal chat medium (assuming that that's what you mean by "chat for internal traders"), what is it that you would want? Someone to type in all their trades and ideas to you so that you can read and follow? I know I don't want to watch anyone trade who has the time to type in a chat forum all that they are doing and thinking. However, if that is what you want there are plenty of those websites on the internet that you can subscribe to for that. This one here has it and it doesn't even cost anything. Maybe you would like a chat medium so that you could communicate with the ECHO staff if you had a question, comment or problem? Well we have always had that ability as I am sure you must know. Finally, as it seems you are uninformed, we do have an audio broadcast available to our traders.
Let me tell you a little story.
I went to a restaurant last night and I got great service and the food was great they really treated me like a customer. I really felt like a customer, I was a happy customer.
Then they came over and gave me the bill, and with the bottle of Cristal and dinner and everything it came to $750. I was so upset because I only had $300, so I told them, "look, I am the customer and I think the customer is always right, and this bill is more than I can afford." They were very nice about it, they even let me order some dessert after that. I was a very happy customer. Then, I realized that I needed a glass of Grappa after my dessert and you know what they said? They said that if they gave me the wine, my bill would be about $900 and since I was only going to be paying $300 they thought that I should not have the wine. They were still friendly about it, even though they were going to lose money on me, but I just could not believe it. I got very upset because I could not have an expensive glass of dessert wine for free. So as soon as I got home that night after having a few beers I went on a restaurant review forum on the web and I gave them my '0.02cents'.
The moral of the story for those of you who missed it is: ......
