I’ve mentioned it a couple of times in the room, that the BP chat room is rubbish compared to the other options available as it times you out if you are “idle” for too long, which means you have to have the room as your active window all the time, and it also seems to need you to be doing something in the room as well. This wouldn’t be so bad, except the second problem with it is is it doesn’t provide the history of thf chat. So if you get timed out you miss everything that has happened previously, and also until you login again. It also means if you are late in then you misss all the previous chat, and as you know this means you constantly repeating yourself!
Something like Skype would be much better I think as it provides history etc, even when you aren’t logged in. Have you considered this option?
skype may not be avaiable for all the posters in here… for me is ok… but i don´t have skype either… and skype is chat or talk… because if i speack english no one will understand and i will not understand no one:p
I set this up
the BB guys did the same thing The chat works better than BP chat. Trading MMTT - FX Trading
I just set it up so it has no content but the chat will work.
I used that chat site for San Miguel’s Bollinger chatroom and keep it open all the time I am trading, just like the BP chat room.
The one problem I’ve noticed with the Ning.com rooms is there are sno audible sound when people post, you have to keep flipping back to see if people post or even if people come or go. What I like about the BP chat room (even though it does have the limitations you mention) is I do get that audible note when someone posts and I can jump back to it from my charts.
I mentioned Skype in the Bollinger w/MAs thread and it didn’t seem to garner much interest, but you can make group chats on there. You can also send unlimited-size screenshots or other documents to your contacts and use voice if you want to discuss something in greater detail.
