In the last two weeks, we have rolled out two improvements to the TradeKing Community that we are pretty pumped about: our return on investment (ROI) measurement and the TradeKing Leaderboard. We hope you're excited about them, too.
Since developing the ROI feature, we have been monitoring the accuracy of the return numbers. We learned yesterday morning that there were some anomalies in our 6-month calculation, dealing with account transfers from other brokerage firms. We were not databasing the appropriate information to account for this activity prior to December 2007.
Thus, accounts that transferred money from another broker prior to December display an inaccurate 6 month ROI calculation. As a result, we have removed the 6 month ROI figure from the Community and will display it again once we have 6 months of complete data, which will be in June. Until then, we will focus on ROI for 1, 5 and 15 days and 1 and 3 months.
As you know, we are striving to provide the best and most comprehensive product we can, and apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused. Please drop me a note with any feedback you have on the Community at community [at] tradeking.com. Your input is what keeps our wheels turning.
Be good,
Mike
