Are these typically just people who are checking something on a smart phone?

Where you ever thinking about making the site un-viewable until you sign in?

No, only a tiny percentage of people view the site on their phone.

And second point, no, there is already a big banner inviting people to sign up for an account (register). But I am guessing the 4,000 guests yesterday, probably a lot of them mumbled to themselves "I already have an account". Most people are not very technical, so I'll try to think of a better way to make it simpler for them to understand they should sign in.

Sometimes session cookies expire, and you won't automatically be signed in. Another example would be if you switched browsers, installed a new OS, bought a new computer, or run third party software to "clean" your computer. These reasons and more could cause people to not be automatically logged in.

If you want me to be logged in while I browse, you need to turn off that thread tracker thingy.

It is not anyones business that I am browsing a specific thread.

Why is it necessary to be logged in anyway?

Is this going to end up like Trade2Win where I get several spam emails every time that I log in?
(That chased me off in a hurry)


On a technical note, the forum logs me out or drops me when I log in with the "Remember Me" unchecked.

If you want to be invisible, turn on invisible mode in your control panel.

You got spammed on other sites because other sites are overwhelmed with spam bots. I've worked very hard on futures.io (formerly BMT) to ensure that does not happen. If you ever get a spam message, use the report post feature to report it.

It is necessary to be logged in because you can't receive private messages, can't reply to threads, can't show appreciation by saying Thanks to other posters, and of course if you were an Elite Member then you would need to be logged in to access the Elite Only content.

We've got a couple big milestones coming up. There will be a party and prize giveaways

The first is reaching 100,000 posts. It will probably happen around the very end of March. The second is our two year anniversary in June. 100,000 posts is quite an accomplishment for a forum that is only 21 months old!

I am thinking of giving away some iPad's and a bunch of trading books thru Amazon. I'll post the details as we get closer.

I also wanted to just record that today Feb Tue 2/8 we tied our previous posting record set on January 13th, which is 410 new posts. Yesterday was also the busiest day ever in terms of how many unique registered members logged on to futures.io (formerly BMT) (1,124). futures.io (formerly BMT) also gets about 2,500 unique unregistered people visiting each day, for a total of over 3,500 unique people a day on average.

While I look forward to seeing 500 post days in our near future, I am continually working to make sure futures.io (formerly BMT) maintains its helpful, positive, forward-thinking attitude which makes us a very unique destination for traders on the web. Please also take a minute and thank the Moderators for all the work they do to help me out: @sam028, @max-td, @LukeGeniol. Thx guys!

Mike



You celebrated the milestones with giving away a few iPads and forcing your members to pay for what others create and share for free? The indicators can be downloaded only by paid members now? Some celebration I'd say... Congrats!

Congrats



Today we hit 20,000 members. And these are real people We deny over 100 new registrations daily that are flagged as duplicate accounts or spam bots.

We also hit 150,000 posts a couple weeks ago.

I'm very proud of what we've accomplished (unlike some people like the post above this one). I'm proud that the site continues to honor its original goal of "pay it forward", and that we continue to reward those who are the most helpful. And I want to say thank you for helping me make all this possible!

This month we will be giving away a nice 24" Dell 1080p monitor and (9) trading books (your choice) to the Top Ten posters with the most Thanked posts this month, another way of showing our appreciation.

In November, we'll have our annual Thanksgiving Charity Drive so that we can as a group help those who are less fortunate. We'll also start the nomination process for our end of year annual "nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) Best of Trading" awards, always a fun time to decide the best of the best.

In the coming months we have many more contests to announce and many highly respected educators coming on-board -- and I am proud and excited to be able to do it. But that is for another thread...

Thx guys!

Congratulations Big Mike....You and your moderators have done a marvelous job..as well as all those that contribute...this is by far the best trading related site in existance....Keep up the good work....

My focus is on:
1. Avoid the opening chop.
2. Honor stops
3. Ensure reward > risk on all trades
