Hi guys,
To clarify on "trading product" -- what I had in mind was tools like Jigsaw or Veloxpro or TopstepTrader that don't fall into other categories. Not trading instruments/vehicles.

Hi guys,
Response for nominations has been strong, so I am going to end the nomination process on or near Friday this week. I'll then need a short time to setup the actual voting, and will make another announcement when the voting is open so everyone can vote for the winners in each category.
If you don't yet see your favorite listed in a particular category, this is your last chance to nominate them so they can be voted on in the next phase!

It might also be a good idea to give it a few more days next week, as a lot of members probably have taken time off for the holiday/New Year season and may not even have been aware of the nominations process.

I'm playing it by ear, but yes I guess a couple more days won't hurt.
Right now I'd like to see more nominations in the Thread of the Year and Journal of the Year category, each has just seven and five names right now, respectively. The Indicator of the Year category has five nominations.

I think the FIO specific awards are an excellent idea, and I look forward to the results.
I'm concerned that the non-FIO specific awards though are little more than polls to see which product people currently use. Take for example 'Data Feed of the Year'. How many people have more than one? How many people compare them? Of course if your not collocated what you think of your data feed is probably highly influenced by your internet connection, whether you know it or not.

Maybe something more satisfaction or scored based, ie rate your 'data provider' on a scale of 1 to 5, and then do it on average rating. Obviously need to have a minimum number of people participate for each category
The following 2 users say Thank You to SMCJB for this post:
you might have an innovative side as well ....people who produce things ie indicators/posts that no one else has done on a platform etc...so that instead of getting the same ole same ole indicators there is incentive to produce something that is not the norm and think outside the box a bit.... like Sim22 has produced a few that haven't been seen before on nt8 or nt7.
just an idea :-)
