I added "Today" to the Activity Flow section on homepage. If you viewed it early on you might have asked why it was going up and down -- it was because I initially was using 24h as the period.
I changed now to reset at midnight server time, so it makes more logical sense since it will only increase.
As of now, non-Elite Members can no longer download attachments inside of posts.
This was a difficult choice, but a necessary one to preserve the community. As we've grown over the last 15 years, more and more Elite content was posted outside of the Elite section(s) of the forum. This enabled free members to access Elite-only content when it was accidentally shared in other posts.
Now, as of today, that is no longer a concern. Only Elite Members can download attachments.
As always, if you want your content to not show up on Google, then you should place it behind our paywall - in the Elite section(s).
Thank you to all Elite Members (30k of you!) over the years!
Not sure if that will help. I have entered minute for the duration but i do various things, options and day trade which may last a few minutes or more and for options it depends, it can be weekly or monthly options. Options are new to me so it may change in the future. Aiming to get some passive income from options (harvesting premium mostly). As you can see, your parameters are too narrow to determine the style of someone.
Can you help me come up with better parameters? I just wanted to inform users your primary trading method. There is no one size fits all, but are you not able to classify the majority of your trades as one of the options in the dropdown?
Mike raised some concerns about the fact that you made those "trade frequency" fields compulsory.
I think his concerns are legitimate, i.e. to avoid the risk of falling foul of various privacy regulations around the world, you would be probably better off by making these fields optional.
I agree that the trading frequency information should be optional and not mandatory. While this information could be useful to others, it can be difficult to boil down a stance on the market to one cut and dried category, as was mentioned by . One possibility is there could be an additional category such as "Various" or "Flexible" or even, for those searching for their method, "Undecided".
As an example, recently discussed his trading. He mentioned long-term investments (perhaps years), option trading strategies (perhaps weeks) and short-term futures (including day trading.) What's the correct way for someone with that perspective "to inform users your primary trading method"? There isn't one. And why ask for one?
So while I think that it can be a useful item of information to know someone's time horizon and trading perspective when they discuss a trade, it would be better to make that optional information for them to provide, or not, if they think it is relevant to their trading as a whole.
I do not have a strong opinion on the "location" field, but there may be concerns, as and have said, in some jurisdictions. But it seems that some locations that were acceptable in the past are not OK now, and you can't get into the site without it (although it seems that it can be anything you want, which is not a great advance -- now has "Who cares.")
I do think that making people fill in these fields in order to be able to get into the site, when they have been able to get in up to now, was too abrupt a change, however. And not everyone is going to be willing to place themselves in any one category, no matter what the list.
