Ready To Challenge Wall Street?

Are you a dedicated trader? Are you good enough to make trading your career?


Then you will want to become part of the Independent Trader Movement that has started today!


The Independent Trader Movement is an alliance of talented and dedicated Independent Traders who are coming together with the view of challenging the professional traders on Wall Street.


You may think you joining The Movement is not significant, but in reality you are making a big difference. Separately, independent traders can be talented, but TOGETHER they can become a HUGE Independent Trader Movement.


You may be good. In fact, you may be the best! But you need to prove it. You need to show you have what it takes to join The Movement. And so, www.TradeSlide.com has developed the tools to rate the skills of independent traders with a view to facilitating this great movement.


Being part of this Movement will act as evidence of your trading skill as well as give The Movement the required credibility.


In order to ensure that only the best traders join, TradeSlide is by invitation only. You haven't received your invitation yet?


The Movement needs to make a lot of noise to make itself heard and to do this, invitations will only be offered to those Independent Traders who show their commitment by any of the following means:

•Twitter – Interact with @TradeSlide (http://twitter.com/Tradeslide) Every so often invitations will be offered to dedicated users!
•Read and comment on this post and other posts related to the Independent Trader Movement where invitations will be posted every so often.
•Trading Blogs – We will be active on many trading blogs so keep an eye out and interact with us if you see a post! We want to hear from you!
•We are also active on Facebook: (http://www.facebook.com/TradeSlide?ref=stream)


Any questions? If you want to join the movement, comment here or Tweet @Tradeslide using the hashtag #IndependentTraderMovement to get your invitation!

I signed up with the site. Uploaded my investor logins. We'll see what happens.

Hi TPO,


Thanks for accepting our invite and joining the #IndependentTraderMovement!

We have reviewed your account and have seen that your broker hasn't reported all of your trading history and so your TS score is lower than it would be if calculated with all of your trading data, since we were not given your opening balance.

We have calculated your score starting on the 14th of January 2013 which is the date of the first information provided by your broker.

We will get in touch with your broker for you to get all of the information. Please note, your score will be updated as soon as your broker gives us all the information.

Congrats on such a good score in a small time period!


Regards,

Your TS Team

You will not get additional info from Oanda regarding short account history in MT4. Their reasoning is that clients should access it through fxtrade's trade history.

What you could do is request for Oanda's third party access like forexfactory and myfxbook did

http://fxtrade.oanda.com/trade-forex...d-party-access

Or if it's possible i can send you my broker statements to allow for better scoring. it won't be in MT4 statment format, but fxtrade history format.

Or do nothing. i can just continue trading and hopefully grow from this point. Missed a couple of good months since i started, but hey..if i can show that i am a good trader and not just lucky..it wouldn't matter in the long run.

Thank you for your response, we will try to get in touch with Oanda and let you know the outcome.

In the mean time, please continue to use and enjoy TradeSlide as you said and don't hesitate to contact us with any issue.

Don't forget to connect your Twitter account to TradeSlide in the "Mentorship" tab as you can see in the attached screenshot and you will get 3 invitations to recruit other Independent Traders!

Happy Trading!

TS Owl,
you created more than 9 threads to promote your site, so which thread should we follow? Is this the latest and most updated thread? All other threads are closed? Will you be creating new threads and we miss your updates? I was subscribed to your previous threads as of March 6th and didn't notice until NOW that you have this NEW thread.

mmaker,

Thanks for the inquiry. Our progress was increasing rapidly and so we created new threads every so often to keep updated. In hindsight, you're right, we should have stuck to the one.

This thread is the latest and we will be posting here from now on so this is the only one you need to subscribe to.

Have you had a chance to use the site yet? We would be grateful if you could give us your feedback!

Regards,

Your TS Team

I couldn't upload the picture I wanted for my profile, gave me the below error message.

Also, I didn't like the part about having to spam 5 of my friends (within 19 days) in order to score more points and having to Twitter. I just trade, and I want to enjoy my time outside trading. I don't want to be "forced" to Twitter or Facebook in order to win points. I think the TS Score should really be based solely on trading skills and track record and not on helping the site to promote and get referrals. Of course that's just my personal opinion and I'm sure I'm the extreme minority. If other members get more points because they're willing to spam their friends with email invitations and post massive amounts of Twitter, so be it. That's just not me.

I also want to see the membership count. For example on ForexFactory and many forums, we know how many members are online and how many have registered on the site since inception. At RAPA Cap Intro, we know there are 1083 active members competing for trading capital.

mmaker,

Just to be clear, your TS Score depends solely on your trading skills which are rated using the different badges.

With regards to the invitations, you are not at all obliged to send invitations to your friends or to Tweet and like said above, this will in no way effect your TS Score, we just want to give you the opportunity to share with your friends if you like the service.

We will look into the issue with your image and appreciate all your other comments and suggestions.

In your efforts to create a website to rate traders according to TS Score, you have probably forgotten about how to rate the ease-of-use of your web interface. In one word, your site is "complicated". I won't say confusing because it takes time to read the Help and find out the details, but it's not easy. The only thing I can understand is the TS Score .... the higher the number the better. That's about all, the other badges and color codes and ratings are all too complicated. If you compare to Myfxbook or FF TradeExplorer, the ease-of-use and clarity of presentation is apparent. For Myfxbook you have Browser to see each trade detail. For TradeExplorer you have Open Chart to see each trade detail. But for your site's TS Journal, it takes a PhD to understand what those graphs and timelines are supposed to represent.

Your site designer and programmer are probably very intelligent. Unfortunately for websites intended for wider audience (even if for professional traders) the level of complication needs to be toned down for the lay person without mathematics degree or PhD. Of course, for traders with proven track record looking for recognition and endorsement, all they care is the TS Score similar to how they just want to obtain a RAPA Score at RAPA Cap Intro.

i agree. The unique character of tradeslide are the badges. None of the existing tracking site has this. So make that part of your service very user friendly.

As far as other metrics...i would suggest try and copy the best features from other sites. There's no need to reinvent the wheel with overcomplicated analysis. All the other sites have gone through the 'debugging' mode and you should just 'copy' their style.

Dear mmaker, dear TPOTrader,

Thank you very much for your comments, we really appreciate your feedback.

As expressed in former posts, TradeSlide seeks to help independent and dedicated traders to make their trading career.

In this process, we could have "copied other styles", as you suggest in your post, but we have rather preferred to offer new tools and features that complement the already existing ones in order to maximize the independent traders' opportunities.

No one ever said that becoming an investable trader would be easy. Same as becoming a doctor or a lawyer, becoming an investable trader requires not only talent, but effort and dedication, too. However, if you are willing to live off your passion, at TradeSlide you will find the required tools to improve your trading skills and to show the world that you got what it takes to make your trading career.

It is not about reinventing the wheel, but about offering new features and tools that are complementary to the "already existing wheels". Such tools, together with the required dedication and commitment, shall help independent traders to make their trading dream come true.

You may prefer to stick to other options; we will keep on working hard to offer independent traders FREE tools and FREE advice to become investable traders.

Kind regards and happy trading everyone!

What tools do you offer besides the TS Score? The only thing we need from your site is the number. Just like the RAPA Score at RAPA Cap Intro. If you're talking about analyzing trader risk profile and performance metrics, the simple yet comprehensive "Advanced Statistics" on Myfxbook or "Trade Report" on FF are quite sufficient one-page at a glance tool.

Suggestion: set up a poll either on this thread first post, or at your site, or through email survey. Ask for feedback on whether your site is easy to use/difficult to navigate/somewhat complicated to understand/not sure what's going on there/put off by the over-emphasis on recruitment. Ask for feedback on which is easier to understand, the colorful but cryptic badges (can only see one at a time using <> keys) or the simple one-page statistics presentation at Myfxbook and TradeExplorer. It may be clear to you and your site designers and programmers, because you're all heavily involved in creating these badges and know the color codes in your sleep. But ask any "new" user and I guarantee they have no idea what these colorful circles are about. It's not intuitive and frankly not at all useful.

Anyone visiting this thread, make a guess what these colors and codes represent. No hint.

Why is my account stop updating from 4/17? tried to change the date but it's stuck on 4/17
