Trading system promoter and so on.
------------------
Questions.
1. What is the differencies between coding participating now and coder as a team?
If public system is well-developed and team decides to go to commercial as next step of the development so coder as part of the team will get some %s from sellers income for all life long (as long as commercial thread is existing). The same with testers, system promotes and system developers of course.
2. Why we need system promoters?
In some cases trading system developers are having very good communication skills. It is nothing with English language. We may see from the forum:
- one person posted something inportant and very usefull and just 100 members saw it in this day;
- the other member may post something with is useless, something which is nothing and 2,000 members will see his post with many replies. He has ability to promote and collect the members around. Promoter. It is very personal skills.
3. Why testers should be part of the team?
If testers is part of the team so they will get income from commercial selling (10% or any % estimated by team as an agreement or any from the beginning of public development). It is strongly recommended for testers to be included inside the team.
4. What is a team? Why this word 'team' you are using?
It is just a word only: 'team job', 'working as a team' ...
If someone knows the other word about how to describe this so please post.
5. How much money do I need to start the public development with commercial possibility.
Nothing. Usually public development is doing for free. Of couse it is not for free for ther team (electricity, internet cost, time=money and so on). But it may be started from zero in most of the cases.
6. What to do if I already developed public thread/system on this forum and system is popular?
So you did 60% of 70% of all job. Just finish by yourself, or define the people who will be in your team and continue by commercial development/selling on separated thread.
7. Public thread and commercial thread must be in separated section?
Yes, exactly. Public development should be in public sections, commercial - in commercial section only. Two thread as minimum.
8. So we may start with public development only? Or we may do public and commercial simultaniously?
Every starting should be for public development only. Public development may be going to commercial only if the public products are good and tested. Besides team may go to commercial way by one of the versions of the system/indicator(s)/EA(s) developed as by-product or any inside the main development.
9. Can I start with commercial?
No, read item 8.
10. Must we make agreement about the team from the beginning of the public development?
Yes, of course.
11. What to do if I started the sections here http://www.forex-tsd.com/trading-systems/ ?
Speak with section originators. They are having the right to open commercial development/threads inside the section. For example: ValeoFX is having the right to open commercial thead connected with his system inside his section
http://www.forex-tsd.com/xo-method/ alone or together with team. If you are not originator of any section so it is necessary to speak with section originators.
12. You said that members of the team will get money as long as their commercial thread will be in the forum, right?
Right. But if the team is not developing/improving the original system so the commercial thread will be deleted. For example: if public thread is forgotten by team so commercial one will be deleted (by me).
13. Can you tell us some examples about how the other forums are doing it? Do we have EA which was developed by team work?
Many forums are doing the same. EA? Goldwarrior EA was developed by team work. They only had one problem: the testers were not included inside the team and they spent long time for some explanation, setting opimization and so on.
14. I want to be a tester but i do not have experience to test and I am not a coder.
Basicly the testers are the members who are testing. If system developer (or team leader) agrees with your participation so why not?
15. Can you participate as develper, or tester, or any?
Yes, why not, inside this possible generally accepted structure as simple member. But usually I do not have time for that so ... sorry ... may be in the future ...
16. Why any good public development must be continuing by commercial development? What happened if the team decided to stop and decided not to sell anything in the end of the development?
The other people will sell: they will steal and sell.
17. What to do if the public development will not be ready for commercial selling? I mean: if the team achieves good results but the results are not good enough and nothing to sell?
In this case our forum will have some good public system developed.
Not bad.
I will try to controll this issue concerning public - commercial.
18. Can the team go to commercial selling if they did not developed the public system/indicator(s)/EA(s)?
No, of course. I will monitor this subject.
19. How to start?
Select your team and send PM to me about the members (because I should know about who will work with whom just to avoid future possible conflicting situation).
20. May I open the thread abvout selecting the team?
Yes, why not? Just go to this section
http://www.forex-tsd.com/metatrader-programming/ and do your 'call'.
21. Is it your proposal?
Idea. Thinkings. I am just thinking and typing. It may be changed of course.
