Here's my idea on how this can be done. It's been common in real life for a couple of traders to get together and rent an office to save $ and of course get rid of the boredom and loneliness, etc. So my idea is similar to this idea. A member here gets to pick or asks a 2-3 fellow members to be their confidence men where they can build up the close-knit communication and sign some sort of confidentiality or non-disclosure before passing out their statements. This means there should be no hiding behind the usernames but real names with real addresses, phones etc. I assume it takes time to build up the relationship but if anyone wants to get serious this is the only way to go to the next level. I think the sure way to tell if the member is committed is seeing how long he's been on the forum and how many posts he's made (optional because it doesn't really tell much the quality of the member but by seeing participation on a regular basis you know there's no gaps of interest to the forum).

But finding the right partner(s), there has to be similar trading styles, instruments etc in order to understand each other's method more or less.

I know this might be a bit much but hey, anyone wants to be profitable down the line, some risks have to be taken, wouldn't you agree?

How's this idea sound? Thoughtless or useful?
