In "Crowd Opinion" you can click to see people who are tracking asystem who have left comments, but not just people who are tracking a system.
On Friday when I got into a position on the new site, I had a hard time getting out of it. I kept clicking on the dots at the order type and it wouldn’t take it. I put a number in for limit order, and no dot and I was unable to click it too.
Eventually I did get out but I already forgot how. Anyhow, not ready for primetime…
Just took a fresh look at the beta site.
While looking at the statistics table, I could not help but feel that the "Max peak-to-valley drawdown (historical)" metric was out of place in the table order (I guess because of the subcategory for the drawdown period).
Can you place this info under the sharp ratio metric?
This would be more aesthetically pleasing sense it will be just above the 10-20-30% loss of account value metrics which are also subcategories.
Doing this will make eyeflow less disruptive from top to bottom while viewing the statistics table for a quick read…
Thanks
Pedro - The problem you reported has been fixed. It was introduced in a recent update, but is now working okay. I hope you’ll try the new order entry screen again. I personally think it’s a big improvement over the old. - Matthew
Why does the new site turn dashes and apostrophes into question marks in the long description on the system page?
I believe "the most looked at this hour" column on the old website is heavily used. Why is it not on the new site?
You can put another header on the left-hand side of the first page similar to the "Recent Looks" header and call it "Recent Looks By Others" (or something)
I like the toggle idea for the Gainers and Losers column but in order to find out what asset class (stocks, options, forex, futures etc) is be traded, you have to click on the system name and go to that system’s page to find out what it trades. I shouldn’t have to leave the current screen just to find out what the system trades.
Maybe you can put the asset class type in parenthesis next to the system names in the list of Gainers and Losers or you can put it in parenthesis next to the system name on the graph that pops up when you run your cursor over the system name in the list.
if you mean:
– its purpose, it contains systems you decide to watch. And you can see observable systems that OTHER people are watching,
– where is it in the new version, I believe it appears when you click "My Systems"
Matt,
The new site looks great! Somehow the personalization feature gave weird graphs when using it for Kauai.

It looks nice but it took me 15 minutes to find My analyst
Some apparent bugs I’ve found:
Personalized chart shows nonsense, even when I turn off commissions and system cost.
When I go to the autotrade preformance reports and select “All”, the calculations are wrong. Every system I ever traded is shown as having been profitable, and my grand total is a pretty large profit. Not true, sadly. The system I’m autotrading now is correct.
New site is a little less usuable for vendors:
1) The links for subscriber list and revenue reports are now under Admin. button. So, what use to take 1 or 2 clicks now takes 3 clicks.
2) I used to be able to see the number of subscribers right on the start up page. Now it takes a few clicks.
3) Issue with old and new site: there is no log of messages I send to subscribers. This would be a nice feature.
Thanks,
Kevin
Thanks for your help. I am hoping he mike levin is ok

Matt - As I’ve said before, please consider removing chatter, or at least allowing it to be turned off. Given the plethora of sniping and derogatory comments in chatter, and the fact that anything good only last for 24 hours anyhow, this area becomes mainly a garbage dump.
I’m sure the intent of chatter was a neat idea, but I would also guess that it is not being used as intended.
I bet chatter turns off more potential subscribers and vendors than it attracts.
Thanks,
Kevin
The new site looks great. The changes that I liked the most are
- the personalized charts!
- the button for downloading trade details to a csv file!
- the thin lines in the charts
- the drawdown & risk column in the trade details looks better; it is easier to get a quick impression of the risks
Well done! (Ironcito said that the personalized charts don’t work properly, but I assume that will be fixed).
Some minor points for improvement:
- If I click on trade details, then the black box with details takes a position such that it cannot be shown entirely in the browser window. So I scroll down, but if I look at the next page of the details then the window jumps back to the top, thus hiding a part of the black box again.
- When I click on a personal message, it is displayed at the bottom of the list. It would be more convenient if the message expands within the list, i.e. at the point where I click.
I am trying to figure out what happens with the personalized charts (just trying to help). I used Apeiro Short Term as an example. When I start with 100K, the chart shows that the end capital would be between 120K and 125K. When I start with 1K, the chart shows that the end capital would be about 14K. So the initial capital would be multiplied by 1.2 if I start with 100K but the initial capital would be multiplied by 14 (!) if I start with 1K. That seems odd to me. I would intuitively assume that commissions take a larger part of the profits in the smaller account. So I wonder which scaling factor is assumed in the computations. Actually, should the scaling factor not be one of the entries in the personalization screen?
Hi Matthew,
the new website is really nice.
But with respect to reporting the performance with systems it is actually a huge step back from the current one.
It is hard to find the report functionality. And then I did not get data for trades I did with Trader68, though they appear in the current website.
Simply overlaying the personal record over the overall trading history is much better! Please stick with this. Although this enables to see any missed trades.

No, the max drawdown still needs to be placed under the Sharpe Ratio for even better clarity.
Browsing the systems I’m subscribed to is faster in the old version bec the list is alway visible in the left pane. Now I always have to go back to the main page to switch the system I’m viewing. Next/Previous buttons in the system page might be enough to solve this problem.
