Since Web 2.0 technology was introduced, so many of our social live face a new era. One of which is social trading and social stock trading as well. Web 2.0 is an Internet technology that enable people to contribute, generate and manage their own contents for sharing information, idea and knowledge across the Internet. Financial market is one sector that utilize this technology heavily, especially in its electronic trading activities using Internet as its vehicle. Investors, brokers and traders can now communicate and exchange information using Internet. This trading is called social trading because with the Internet, all traders around the world are able to link and connect each other, thus enable sharing and exchanging trading strategy and even copying trading position.
Social stock trading has several methods, some are using automated trading with a series of pre-programmed trading instructions, known as algo trading or algorithmic trading. Some employ copy trading method, in which the trader copies the position from well-known investors or top traders. Each time the top traders take a position, the trader copy his position. Another method is called mirror trading, the enhancement of algo-trading, where the traders select a strategy based on their trading preferences, and the trading platform executed that strategy.

Many of our customers ask us frequently to allow them to export chat transcripts directly from the chat interface. They need it for two reason.
SEO – Many customers wish to add the conversation transcript to their website. The transcript (chat history) consists of highly targeted keywords that are perfect for SEO. This is one of the easiest ways to create great highly targeted content for a website.
Spreading The Word – Many websites and communities that are running periodic live discussions often send the entire conversation transcript to all members of their community. In that way, people that were not able to participate in the conversation, can catch up and keep updated about the conversations topics.
Export Chat Transcript
We are happy to share with you a new feature: Export chat with a click).
You may find a new button on the button left. Clicking on it will export the chat history into html file.
The export function will get all the content that already exists in the chat screen and export it to HTML. This means that when you enter a chat room you a portion of the last typed messages. The export function will only export these lines. If you wish to export older messages from the chat room, you will need to scroll up in the chat area to load older messages.
The Exported File is in HTML format but it includes text only. Meaning when an image or video is placed in the chat it will immediately show. However, in the export chat transcript file, only URL will be shown.
Hiding the Chat Export Button
If one wishes to hide this button for any reason. It can be done using one line of CSS in the Advanced Design menu. Simply go to your chat settings in the advanced design menu and click on the CSS tabs. Copy this line and save.
#options #export { display: none !important; }
For your information, we replaced an old chat Icon (trash) with the new export icon. The old icon was used to clear the screen temporarily. This was effective when chatters wanted to clear their screen from too many texts and messages. To make it clear, the purpose of this trash icon was only to make it easy to read and particularly it deleted nothing from the actual chat.
See here a CSS code that will add the trash icon in case someone wants to use it.
The option to export chat transcript is not limited to the chat interface. One may export based on your criteria using the admin panel –> archive export feature.
