How Traders’ Chat Can Revolutionize the Way You Trade

Every professional trader today has his or her unique toolbox loaded with every traders’ tool necessary for them to make the best decisions when playing the market. But no matter how fine-tuned and well-developed those tools are, the fact remains that with each trader comes only one set of eyes. This is why a traders’ chat room is considered by these professionals.

The stock market is dynamic and often volatile and can change in an instant. Traders need to stay up-to-date on every shift, breakout, and bounce which may affect how he or she chooses to invest. This is what makes communication and networking with like-minded traders critical for every trader, investor, and broker who hopes to remain financially secure and profitable.

Live Chat and Its Impact on Live Trading

Since the widespread use of the Internet, there has been a major shift in trading. From stock markets to futures to commodities, the vast majority of stock trading action occurs online.

But the dawn of the Internet has not only made trading for investors, brokers, and traders easier—it has also changed the way we can communicate and exchange information.

With real-time chat rooms like RumbleTalk, global traders can communicate, contribute information, and share graphs and other analytical data with one other. Trading gurus can also share with others what they are buying and selling and set up the option to have followers pay to follow and potentially imitate what they do. This means traders can receive greater insight into the market and feel reassured that the investments they made were the best for their financial goals.

Paid vs. Free Live Trading Chat Rooms

When exploring different live traders’ chat options, you will find paid rooms and free rooms. Free chat rooms are a tempting option for the obvious reason that you do not need to invest money into them. But that lack of upfront investment could end up costing you more in the long run.

Free chat rooms often do not have a built-in filter, meaning that anyone can join the group. So not only can spammers, bashers, and trolls disrupt the group chat, but also, people who have vastly different motivations for their investments and dissimilar goals altogether can get in and take things well off course. This wastes traders’ time and can cause them to miss out on an opportunity to invest or protect their financial assets.

HTML5 Chat: why waste time on a native group chat app?

Does anyone remember Flash? If a movie featuring human butterflies and a theme song by Queen popped into your head, don’t feel bad — the movie will probably remain relevant to humanity long after Flash player has dissolved into obscurity.

To be honest, I didn’t actually hate Flash player. What I did hate was having to constantly mess with plug-ins and updates every time I loaded an online program. And while it’s still relevant, the reason you probably thought of Sam Jones when I asked about Flash is because the rest of the internet got tired of it as well.

It was a Dodo whose viability was already debatable by the time it met its end at the hands of a hungry sailor called HTML5. But certain elements of the web-based programming community have been surprisingly sluggish in adopting the new markup language.

This is somewhat vexing, and particularly so in the case of online chat communities. For one, the embeddable image, video and audio options native to HTML5 make the language extremely programmer-friendly.

It is also the closest thing out there to a universally compatible web-based markup language, whether between browsers or between web and mobile platforms. Of course, these advantages ultimately funnel through to end users who choose an HTML5 chat platform.

So what’s the holdup?

Well, a lot has happened to online chat in past decades, much of which has surrounded the transition to mobile use. Today, the most popular mode of execution is through use of a native mobile application. Not surprisingly, this trend has led to a massive proliferation of application-based chat and audio-visual communication. Mobile users today carry around numerous chat apps — all downloaded to their devices and all of which accomplish at least marginal variations of practically the same thing. Considering the fact that once upon a time Comic Chat was a revolutionary idea, today’s mobile-app based approach seems like a climax in consumer convenience and options.

But is it, though?

The “mobile site” practice was once the recommended way to go if you wanted to access secure information from a mobile device. Some online banking and other commercial entities still do this, and even Facebook will direct you to a mobile site if you use your phone’s web browser. Thing is, you probably haven’t seen it since you downloaded that “trusty” native app. Use of these mobile sites has gradually faded under the growing cloud of readily downloadable native applications.

This should come as a bit of a surprise, given that it translates to a big waste of potential from an HTML5 perspective.

Don’t get me wrong; mobile apps run fine and are frequently updated to eliminate bugs and optimize performance. But they nevertheless present a host of avoidable issues.
Good example: my own love/hate relationship with Facebook’s iPhone apps. For going on about a week now, I have been unable to (re)download the messenger app after our most recent “get out and never come back!” episode.

Why is this happening to me? Is it me? Is it the phone? Was it something I said? Not a damn clue. And frankly I don’t care. I just want my baby to come back, and nothing I’ve tried has worked.
But you know what does work, right now as I sit and write this blog? Facebook’s mobile site, messages and all, minus the insanity of forcing me to download a separate chat application.
Bit of an extreme example? Maybe, but it underscores a point: why waste time downloading, updating and occasionally tossing your phone in anger across the room over applications that could work just as well if not better on a mobile platform?

The phenomenon of downloadable apps is a bit of an oddity altogether considering the vast amount of space and memory which apps fill and use for functions that a simple web browser can readily accomplish.
Case in point: what really angers me about my little predicament is that you actually need two apps to fully utilize Facebook on an iPhone, of all things.
This is an epic fail on Facebook’s part.
Indeed, “need” is a misnomer because you don’t “need” the app. You just want it enough to think you need it.

Here are two “little things” that make Facebook Messenger so addictive:
• audio-video
• push notifications

You want to know why Facebook’s mobile site doesn’t have these features? Because they didn’t add them — period. Let that sink in for a second. They are fully able to develop a universally device- and browser-compatible HTML5 chat feature on their mobile site, complete with all the embedding features available to you on your laptop or desktop, but they just haven’t done it. For some reason, Facebook wants you to download two separate applications onto potentially the most advanced consolidation device ever invented. And while I have just about had it with my iPhone, it’s not Apple making me hate my life. If there’s one thing that can be said about Apple, its that they take the “everything you need, right here” approach to product design. They don’t always do it perfectly (or well, for that matter), but they do it every time. It’s Facebook’s apps which are screwing me here.

So, why am I making such a big stink over this?

We should be getting tired of downloading, updating, and otherwise pulling hair out of our head over apps that shouldn’t be on your device in the first place. The only reason we still grab items out of cyberspace is because marketers know how to capitalize on our simian instinct to stuff our cheeks full of figs so that the other monkeys can’t have the ones we want.

That world is gone. It’s over. There’s no need for everyone to have their own downloaded program because that same program is still available to everyone regardless of whether someone else is using it. There’s better things we can be doing with our time.

That’s what HTML5 is all about. It is based on an entirely new kind of mindset, used by a new generation of programmers, demanded by a new generation of consumers.

Think about it this way: which of the following would you hope is going through a programmer’s head:
• how can I spend days, weeks or even months reinventing its embedding features when someone has already automated somewhere else?
• How can I spend my time doing new stuff now that the old stuff is already built in?

In this sense, time is money, and money is quality. And its not just about the cost to the developer. It’s also about the user’s time and experience.

Chat Room Easy Settings

Our designers at RumbleTalk understand this all too well and for that reason have chosen an HTML5 as a platform for our web/mobile chat, allowing us optimize its plugin features and compatibility. RumbleTalk’s native features allow our program to run on less complex code, which translates to faster loading and fewer errors, and allows our users unprecedented control over the chat settings.

Group chat settings

The native HTML5 chat embedding and compatibility options allow our clients to easily adjust settings. The built-in video/audio playback as well as other plugins allow users to intuitively tailor the online chat experience to the type of hosting they wish to present, whether it’s social stock trading, community engagement, virtual events, teaching or radio show hosting — all customizable to ensure that the user can create a personalized environment.

Just as importantly, our HTML5 chat platform is web-based, and works as one single program without the complexity and performance issues associated with having to “make” the program’s elements compatible with each other.

Our program, of course, is fully browser cross-compatible with all major web browsers, which in today’s market should be a given. To that point, one of the biggest advantages is the fact that HTML5 chat allows optimal functionality for mobile site access, with compatibility across the board of mobile devices. This means consistently optimized performance from one type of device to another, all without unnecessary downloaded applications. You simply access the full program on your mobile device on virtually any mobile web browser.

Hopefully my gripe about downloaded programs is a little clearer now. There’s really no reason to carry a phone full of applications which can only be used via internet access.
Now, does that mean I am going to uninstall Cookie Jam in silent protest until I can access the game on a website? God, no. In fact, I count on having the game accessible and functional on my device specifically for the times that I don’t have internet.

Likewise with music, videos, pictures and documents. You know, the stuff that has any business taking up space and memory on your device. Everything else should be cloud-based and simple. From the perspective of online chat services, for which consumers will undoubtedly demand more complex and dynamic features, this is what HTML5 is all about.

WordPress Chat Room an Essential Plug-in for Communities

With the meteoric rise of social media in the last decade, and as technology continues to progress at near lightning speed, communicating with your audience and customers has never been easier and more important than it is now. With WordPress being one of the most popular tool, WordPress chat plugins are also seeing an increase in users.

The Flexibility of Using WordPress

If you already have a website, awesome, you’re ahead of the curve. Whether you are a business or an individual, chances are you use WordPress (over 75 million websites are powered by this platform), which is by far the most reliable CMS tool on the web, allowing both developers and novice users to develop gorgeous and highly intuitive websites. It comes with a plethora of high-powered themes and tools that allow you to create a custom site without a whole lot of heavy lifting.

What makes WordPress so attractive to developers and site managers is its flexibility. It contains numerous cutting-edge and updated plug-ins that can extend the functionality of your site without the need to write one single line of code.

A plug-in like RumbleTalk for example, can not only ensure your online communication success by offering you a direct line of communication from you to your community, but it also can play a significant role in enhancing the usability and functionality of your site (not to mention it integrates seamlessly with a majority of websites). It’s also important to mention that a chat plug-in like RumbleTalk can make your site look more official and as shallow as that may seem, perception can be everything in business.

Fully Customizable WordPress Chat

A combination of live group chat along with private video and audio calls, RumbleTalk is emerging as one of the most popular chat plug-ins for WordPress. With its fully customizable capabilities, not only does it allow you to engage with your web visitors and offer real-time customer service, but it can also be added to a variety of websites and blogs.

Site managers have the unique ability to customize their chats however they choose, whatever fits best with the theme of the site (custom themes can also be created and added). We encourage all site managers to go into settings, play around with the options, and have some fun with it!

Integrate your own userbase with a click

Another unique capability of RumbleTalk chat is its capacity to add your own userbase for automatic login. Registered users in WP,  BBPress, and BuddyPress can automatically log in to the WordPress chat rooms, which means you can make the chat available only for your user base.

This feature is essentially for companies that wish to develop a private group chat utilizing their own already existing userbase. Users can also send internal documents through the chat such as word documents and PowerPoint presentations. This is perfect for situations that call for closed-group discussions, social private groups, or closed communities.

Quick and Easy Set-up

Did we mention the whole thing typically only takes minutes to set up? This WordPress chat plug-in was designed to allow users to add group chats quickly and efficiently. After you have finished activating the plug-in on your site, you can then register and set up your WordPress chat.

Once this is completed, you can then acquire your customized chat code. Once you have your chat code, you can decide on the specific placement and size of your RumbleTalk chat room.

These steps are both fun and important because this is where you can control any aspect of your chat, from width and height to the actual position of the chat. You also have the option to have it embedded as a floating icon or directly on a page, whatever fits better with the vision you have for your site. Whatever you decide, the conversation stays the same, so you can talk to your visitors while they browse your content!

With its slick interface and no shortage of features, the RumbleTalk plug-in is truly multipurpose and is designed to satisfy any chat-related needs on a WordPress site. It is ideal for group chats, teams, group discussions, and a whole lot more!
