I'd like to see trade usernames allowed for people who arent paying to be traders.
I believe that people would be more likely to give good valuable information to the forum if it was against the name of their company and that by forcing them to essentially post anonymously so no one knows what company they are from it makes them less likely to post (Karl for example IMHO probably would include not being allowed to use his company name as part of the reason for not posting anymore)


I realise the downside to this is that paid traders would gain less of a commerical advantage over non paid traders, and that consequently would probably result in a drop of revenue for IB, but personally I care more about the forum being more useful than about it being more profitable.

I realise the commercial implications will no doubt mean my suggestion is ignored, but you asked what people want so was just replying with what I want and my reason for wanting it.


Other than that, I dont actually think there are many big problems with PF in terms of how its run, it seems to work quite well in the main.
