Posting frequency
It is very hard to understand how often messages are posted on the forum, because most of it is private. But all in all there are about 172,553 messages in 15,609 threads.
The last post in the free part of the forum was posted yesterday, so, the forum may not be very active. Still, the number of messages tells the opposite.
It’s no wonder, that the most popular sections are free ones. Thus, there are 2,510 threads and 19,525 posts in the Beginners Forum, 2,303 threads and 22,261 posts in General Trading Forum and 2,048 threads and 56,525 posts in the Intraday Trade Recommendations.
Users
There are 31,909 registered users, which also means that the forum is rather popular. The problem is that it is nearly impossible to tell about their activity, because of private sections, which are not available to guests.
Moderation
It is impossible to tell anything about moderators, because their nicknames are not mentioned anywhere. But they might exist, because someone is definitely moderating the forum – there is practically no spam (and no premoderation).
Structure
The forum consists of 10 sections (+ 2 dead sections). They are: Main Discussion Forum (Beginners Forum, General Trading Forum), Due Diligence Forum, Trading Methodologies (Technical Trading, Fundamental Trading, Money and Risk Management), Trade Recommendations (Intraday Trade Recommendations, Long Term Trade Recommendations), The Markets (Derivatives, Forex, Gold, Silver, Indices, Money Markets, Others), Tools of the Trade (Software, Workstation), Trading Resources (Books), Trading for a Living (Career Trading), Community Center (Introductions, Let’s Trade, Lounge, Socials, Scheduled Chat), MoneyTech Marketplace, Money Tech (TroubleShooting Forum, Storage Forum, Suggestions and Feedback).
Still, only Main Discussion Forum, Trade Recommendations and Money Tech (partly) are free.
