Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Unsure if I'm remembering this correctly but I thought I heard a few years ago that only 8-10% of accounts have a positive pnl. Any confirm if that's the case?

    That seems quite high to me but I'd love to know if this is true.
    I'd be thinking more like 2/3%

    Hard to find any information backing this up, for obvious reasons, but distinctly remember hearing it on the radio during some debate on the effects of gambling. Lifetime pnl is what I'm referring to btw.
