Is a Widget in signature useful?
I saw FxStat's Facebook Tweet (fb.me/2wkxgqhkj ), has anyone tried it or used the widget they mentioned? I can see the benefits of it theoretically but has it worked for anyone in practice and have their been much difficulty in setting it up?
Hey Cheesyfinger,
I've followed the facebook tweet and watched the video on you tube, the one that shows you how to add a widget to your forum posts as signature. it was very easy to add
I recommend you to try it out, it is really nice and interesting.
Well, it provides quick information, to other users about ur performance, so it is useful.
Hey Cheesy, the signature is easy enough to set up at as Sasha said it transmits information nicely. I' ve just done it and trying it out, if it appears correctly then its the html code, if not choose the BB code!
There are a lot of choices of what information to include, but not quite sure what they all mean yet

Hi FxLots, you should use the BB code for it to work.
I agree with Yarzan, its a quick and easy method of delivering information to people. I've had mine set up after reading Yarzan's post
The tutorial video is at: http://bit.ly/HPAEQR and i really recommend trying it out! there has only been positive reviews about this!
Cheers guys! i've got it set up and going to test it out (all the widgets) in the forums, will keep posting about opinions!

Hiya! i think the widget is very useful as you've said but for counter arguement's sake some traders may not want to announce their performance to the world (so to speak) if they are doing badly for example me at the moment.
I understand this is good for users because there is not much room for a trader to manipulate their statistics to look nicer, but it can put bad traders off using it... Just thought i'd point out the blush factor
