Dukascopy Community Team's New Year's resolution

Happy new year, everyone.
I'm addressing you on behalf of the team behind the Community and related services.
What do we want to do in 2014?
As many of you, we also have our New Year's resolution. And I am keen to open this information to you.

We are going mobile

We are becoming even more social

I still have an open 'window' to open the mobile version... if it's no trouble for you, I'm not bothered

Congratulations what you have achieved!
On the other side it would be nice if you could put in more energy to improve the stability of the JForex platform and its environment. It still has plenty of bugs! I rather would like to have a stable platform than another social contest. If you even want to deploy a new version, please deploy a Beta first. Do not just change and launch a new Demo version. Keep Demo and Live as close as possible. Please rather stabilize your platform than always implement more features. Demo Users, live customers and developers will thank you for that.

Dukascopy community is like a family for me, some days I spent more time here than with my family. As happen in every family, we help each other, we compete with each other, we fight, we complain but everything in right spirit. Thanks Dukascopy for such a wonderful community.

I can say for sure this is a great success and not possible with out the hard-work of the dukas-team. I have witnessed the transformation from the very first "strategy contest"(without the DFC) in old format and this is truly remarkable. . great going.kudos and cheers

What's new in the community

Hello everybody,as you may have noticed, some changes there have happened to the community pages. Those are just temporary, we are going to facelift all the pages to improve the navigation as community has grown marginally lately. So don't be frustrated or surprised, that's not the final version. What's more, we have introduced SMS-verification system. Why?a) It will simplify your prize awarding procedure. You'll have to verify your phone later on when you become a client anyway, so why don't yo…

When I want to see all of the participants, I do not need navigation bar. I just want to see only photos of participants.
Your site has become for me a social network. I liked the design of Miss Dukascopy contest. Now I am ashamed to send a link to my profile to my friends, because they will see that all are crooked.
Please, if possible return Miss Dukascopy contest in the old look.

as of now the sms verification is not sending any sms and have already written to support.

Have you tried removing 0 after the country code? The SMS operator that provides such services guarantees 97% coverage. There might be some hiccups if you are unlucky.

I, too, does not work. SMS does not come, there is no code to be entered: (((I've tried so many times, but still, nothing happens.

Very good job of the Dukascopy marketing department. Very good ideas and very successful the support given by the Dukascopy managers to these ideas. Many times there are good ideas, but if the owner does not approve are just that, good ideas. Congrats!

Developer's blog: Post #3, (update 1.9.6)

Dear community Members,we have just released two new products for public test. This is the long expected Fundamental Analysis Contest and the Social Lottery.Fundamental Analysis ContestWhat will happen there? Let me just quote the rules:"Every week a set of most influential news will be open for predictions. Participants are allowed to make as many bets per week as they want. When prediction has been made it's impossible to modify or delete your comment. By default, contest period is 1 week. All

To take the above idea and continue my argument here are Top 5 Contestants would fair out if above rules are applied. (C stands for Correct and I stands for Incorrect) 1. 18 C - 14 I - W% = 56.25% --- 2. 14 C - 18 I - W% = 43.75% --- 3. 18 C - 15 I - W% = 54.54% --- 4. 17 C - 14 I - W% = 54.83% --- 5. 15 C - 20 I - W% = 42.85%. If you notice out of these contestants 2 of the contestants Win Rate Ratio is less than 50% which means they have more incorrect than correct and as such they should not be allocated any Dukascopy Points out of those 40 Points suggested.

alifari avatar
alifari 3 May

So, Contestant number 1 should be allocated 40 Points - Contestant number 2 should be allocated 0 Points. Contestant number 3 should be allocated 35 Points. Contestant number 4 should be allocated 34 Points. Contestant number 5 should be allocated 0 Points.

alifari avatar
alifari 3 May

The remaining 40 Points could be given based on traders detailed analysis and comments and that has nothing to do with correct predictions, but a fair analysis and traders ability to assess news impact on longer term.

scramble avatar

Well, actually I agree with alifari: I mean, contestants should have at least a minimum 1 prediction x day, and end the week with a W/L ratio > 50% so at least 3 correct and 2 incorrect, before considering any further point. Furthermore in my opinion the losing predictions cut way too much points! Definetly if one has more winnings than losings, and a good analysis, can't finish in lower ranking because of less "like". Nothing to say with last week's results!! I mean.. something to think about for the future! Thank you

piter44 avatar
piter44 5 May

I agree that 2 predictions is to low, coz I can easly chose 2 firm events durng a week. However it shouldn't be depended from every day prediction. Lets make 3 maybe 4 preditcions during a week regardless of the day.

Is this function working because I didn't received notification when the user I follow updated a blog. "Moreover, the users that follow you see notifications that you have a blog record. It is also displayed in your activity log".
