EliteTrader VS Trade2win

j2ee · Apr 26, 2013

Welcome to share your comment! I have been around in both places and here is my thought:

EliteTrader has much higher % of professional level but Trade2win has more people. The topics in Trade2win mainly are not serious and people just hang around.

Elite has the better content, but its a testosterone rich environment with the inevitable consequences

t2w has the edge for quantity, and quality of lulz

I do find T2W's atmosphere more relaxed, and that's to my liking. Not to say we don't have our share of quality posters either.

I find it's hard to feel like you're making a contribution on ET. There's too many people on there and too much posturing. Gotta admit, better content too, but I could do without the massive egos.

And that's why I like T2W more. The people are more chill. 🙂

The adverts on T2W are an intrusive nuisance, by slowing loading of pages 👎

On the other hand ET has way too many prima donna drama queens.

They are both similar. 95%+ bunk from losing traders. Many delusionals and keyboard warriors. Smattering of people selling picks and shovels. A few nuggets thrown in but no short cuts.

I think it is a natural human behavior to talk posturing if they consider they are good, of course they may be not really good.

T2W website design is better.🙂

It is good that there are two main forums instead of one so they always have competition and make things better🙂

It's a place where people go to watch a guy called Neke lose $400,000 slowly and painfully.

Forums - 2012: The Battle for Survival
400k to under 100k, you'd think he might have noticed something wasn't right a bit
sooner...
Nothing works forever.
Give him that though, he put his neck on the block in public all the same.

There are ways to stop ads from even appearing.

ET : futures , equities and options traders , T2W : spreadbetting , CFDs and FX , Forexfactory : Forex .

I find ET tedious beyond belief tbh. I dare say ET evangelists would find T2W devoid of intellect. Each to their own.

Maybe you are not allowed in the Private Forums where the professionals are ? 😉

Both are pretty dead now, what's wrong?

Do you mean that both forums have experienced a slowdown in activity?

If that's is the case, the T2W team probably has some theories for why the traffic is slowing - would T2W be able to share their thoughts on this?

Elite is too US orientated. The only thread worth looking at is the jokes section. Barron got heavy handed banning people he disagreed with.
T2W has much more content and interest imho. Much nicer tone too. Less antagonistic. PLUS a money prize competition !!
