What’s the reason to earn commission from Squarespace?

Couldn’t have said it any better. I’m more annoyed by suggested posts but ads have become pretty bad now as well.

Just why not make a paid engine/layout that doesn’t have it cluttered with annoying (and stupid) posts, games and other features like this.

Awesome, looks like using sqlite in browser is trending and there are new tools created often.

Even I created a tool :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25791207

Thank you @gabrielsroka!

1. Good idea! 2. Thanks, will look it over. 3. I limited it on purpose, not to overload html. 4. Didn’t think of it. Good idea! 5. Yes, you should be able to query it by SELECT profile->firstName

Thanks for great feedback!

Files are not stored anywhere - everything works within your browser. When you add a file with 100k rows, it gets added instantly and you are ready to query.

Thanks! Still, no simple solution to do it quickly. Using additional tools needs some sort of technical knowledge.

Hi. I know what you are saying, it takes time to find traction but the key is to try out and test different channels. Think of your target customer and where are they most likely to find interest in your product. What you can look into is the "Bullseye framework" - 19 channels to find traction and if you find one, focus solely on it at first. https://medium.com/@yegg/the-19-channels-you-can-use-to-get-...

In most cases no but after the Swiss franc crash event back in 2015, some brokers went bankrupt because the drop was so fierce and there was no liquidity available at some point to close the trades. Many traders suffered from negative account balances. Events like these happen rarely and they are called as "black swan".

Hi willeh, thanks for the comment!

Definitely risky area considering how much leverage some brokers do provide. Higher leverage is beneficial if you prefer not to use all available funds for trading and deposit them to your trading account. For example, lets say you are trading with 100 000 account and your risk is based on that amount. You deposit only 10000 to your trading account and take advantage of the leverage while keeping the other 90k safely in your bank account instead of having all of it on your brokers account.

The brokers market has evolved in recent years as well and has become much more solid than what it used to be. Thankfully, a lot of solid brokerage firms have entered the market by now.

Forexbook will also try to provide some transparency around forex. To start, there's ability to share your trades. As there is no manual trade entry on the app, all trades are as is. For example, the trade example shown on the frontpage can be seen here with greater detail (what broker and if it was Live or Demo account) https://forexbook.com/s/trades/2da6ed44-d1fd-4028-a8a0-3203f... PS! Sharing feature is manual and only you decide which trades to make public.
