I'm interested in feedback on the forum titles

Much more to trading than picking one winner a month!!

Yes, I'd say a hall of fame for a monthly stock tipping competition is a bit far fetched considering what sort of selection process I use to select my pick for the month. As mentioned before, this comp is great for what it is but if you actually use it to trade serious money then maybe we should open a hall of fools instead.

Happy trading

Thought I'd bump this old thread to see if everyone was still happy with the number of forums and their titles:

1) ASX Stock Chat
2) General Chat
3) Beginners Lounge
4) Derivatives
5) International Markets
6) Trading Tips/Strategies

Personally, I'm not a big fan of sites with dozens of forums, as many of them end up lying dormant with very few new threads or posts. However, if anyone has a good suggestion for another forum please let me know.

Just want to make sure we have everything covered.

 
I think it's working well Joe.

Thats very true and anything out of the ordinary can just be put in General Chat.

The only additional forum which may work is a forex forum....but don't think there are enough forex traders here at this stage...something for later on maybe

Cheers
 

Hi Joe,
I agree with WayneL, you done a great job with the layout, I can't see much that needs changing atm, perhaps a prompt now and again to those who post in the wrong forum but they just have to read your forum description on the home page under each title to be clear. Sometimes too many forums can confuse people and it can break up the flow.
 
Hi again everyone

Just wondering how people feel about the idea of a Technical Analysis/Charting forum? Or does this fit under Trading Tips/Strategies?

Perhaps the Trading Tips/Strategies forum just needs to be renamed?

Any feedback would be appreciated.
 
Joe the topics are very different in my veiw.

Having thought about this a bit more and seeing more chartists on ASF I think we should start a TA forum as Joe has suggested. It'll help tidy things up imo. The current Trading tips forum can be for trading plans, money mgmt, general strategies etc. Let's go for it Joe!!

One issue, if a stock is posted in the TA forum the funnymentals people may have to post a new thread on that stock in the stock chat forum- hence duplication. Or maybe all stock specific chat should be in stock chat unless it's a specific TA view/tactic on the stock.
 
Joe,
I think there is some merit in a T/A forum, with a rider that it is about T/A. I agree with the other posts, you pretty much have the right number of forums. Too many and it becomes too busy, overcrowded, etc. I like the way it is designed at the moment. Congratulations!

 
I think keeping the forum condensed is a good idea as well. I think a charting one would be great.

I imagine that a charting one is going to see allot of embedded images of charts in posts etc. This will raise your disk usage and bandwidth and may cost you more particularly if the forum gets really big. Maybe this is not a problem for you I know hosting costs have come down allot in recent times. Just wanted to mention it.


Cheers,
MarkyMark
 
I agree re the number of forums.

There are some O/Seas sites that are so large its only possible to follow a few threads.Mind you they have 50000 members.

I also agree interative chart postings particularly with REALTIME examples rather than hindsite analysis will be great for discussion.
