Or we stay "open" as Hendrick wanted and all the "sharks", "crooks" and "thiefs" will always appear...
Or we go "closed"... more comfortable and without all that garbagge people but at least our community will get smaller and smaller and smaller.... Then... nobody...
I think (huuum!) better to stay " open" as Flying Dutchman wanted. Diversity is better than to stay alone...
And not answer to any silly questions, neither PM, neither e-mail... The only answer could be :" Go to the Phoenix forum and work a bit ! All the answer of your questions are there... work!"
100 % agree with you by the way to organize :
1/ Backward testers
2/ Forward testers
3/ Settings searchers
4/ Developpers if you think it's possible
5/ Wise man who transfer to Hendrick all results, wishes, research, ideas

We have also to have the same way to present results, results of week, results of forward test of 2 hours or 2 days are stupid!
And always a synthesis of 5 lines describing what hapenned during the week : Openned at xxhxx GMT It happened that... and that... Good result on yy pair, bad results on zz pair... Next I will go there, test that etc...
Next I will go there, test that etc...
Most of people are not new in Fx : they can express their feelings (and we are not here to flame somebody !)

For my part the statements of Meta are messy... The mix of pips and/or money are sometimes hell. Everybody should talk in PIPS : not in money earned or lost ! And money depends of lots!
