what is it with you guys?

[zow]

Could still be an idea to show what rating individual people give.

For, as I am sure is the case for Skimbleshanks, 55 people give 5/5, 1 person has slip of the mouse and gives only 4/5, and there is instant 'relegation' to rainbow....

That's funny, you're still green. :cheesy:
I prefer the colours

 

[Bigbusiness]

I like red

 

[rglenn]

What about blue?

Can I have blue! my favourite colour.

 

[Skimbleshanks]

Real traders have colours. :cheesy: Namby pambies have green. :cheesy:

And as for BigBusiness with all those red votes, well, there's just no hope.

BB
I've just realised how you seem to have SO many 'ratings' !
V. clever/sneeky !

Oatman
Does this mean now I have to be 'nice' to everyone so they won't ruin my 'green'?
Could be hard work!......

So Skimbleshanks
Namby pambies rule! ....... (please, .... if that's ok with you)

 

[zow]

Thanks ersatz99.....

 

[oatman]

I tested you with a 4 but nothing seemed to happen. I changed it to 5. No reason really

 

[zow]

Oh well...looks like I can join the 'cool' gang now.....?

 

[oatman]

Rainbows look better

Are you sure you've put that in the right thread/bulletin board?

Are you looking to break into the adult entertainment industry? :cheesy:

You guys still talking about colours!! I thought this thread was about my man Soultrader and his trading systems, ive been trading along side him and the system is brilliant ( definately should have let the guy have his say) but no!!!

Why do some people always have 2 rubbish others systems, of course there is no holy grail out there, its about finding a good system and sticking with it with discipline!

well it works 4 me anyway and most definately works for Soultrader! lol

Makes it look easy (im sure its not) :cheesy:

Bigbiz,

hope u don't mind some banter here i think I know how come u get that many votes. U like the labour party, have trade unions' "collective" membership

 

[bonsai]

as we are still talking about colours

if you have 10 votes and 4/5 , I assume that means you
could have had anything from 9 votes at 4pts and 1 vote of 5=41
or 9 votes of 5pts and 1 vote of 4 = 49.

is that right ?

 

[zow]

pardon me....been away...if this topic is still going....

Bonsai

i think that's how it goes .... seems a little unfair.
But what then if someone gives the '49 pointer' a 3 vote....he goes down to a three/quarter rainbow? whilst still being 'ahead' of the 41 pointer.....

 

[bonsai]

thanks zow
not really interested whether its 'fair' or not. Any system is all ways going to be 'unfair' to someone.

I would just like to know how it works.

bit disappointing that none of the 'management' has responded.

 

[ChartMan]

I think it's been answered before, but I'll drop Sharky a pm to point out your request. He's real busy and doesn't get time to read every post on every forum.

 

[bonsai]

lol
I had included moderators in my idea of 'management' as
I had thought you would all have been around long enough to know.

Perhaps an entry in FAQ ? if its been asked before ?

 

[Sharky]

Thanks Martin for budging me in the direction of this thread - sorry, I hadn't spotted it myself.

The way the rating system works is it uses a simple average, so adds up all the points and then divides them by the number of votes - and then it rounds to the nearest number in this case

4.6 = 5
4.5 = 5
4.4 = 4

And so on...

You're right this should be added to the FAQ and I'll do that later today (time permitting!).
