Hi Gavin
I'm in favour of some kind of private members chat, similar to what Tradeshark uses on his forum. I would be quite happy to pay a modest fee to join, as this would help Cymatic financially, and I would feel less guilty about taking more tips than I can give. An open forum would work, but I feel some people will just use the tips provided, and not give anything back to the trading community. The people putting in the effort to find and share good trades may lose interest in sharing.
I'll put in my vote for a Skype-based chat service/chat room. It has the required features, mobile versions, oh, and annoying Micro$oft ads... can't win 'em all
