Friends, comments and sharing

Quorum has a social layer on top of the Marketplace. You can follow traders, comment on strategies, choose who sees what you publish, and compare your results with your friends.

Follow traders

The people button next to your profile, at the top right, opens your Friends, Followers and Following lists. Use the search box to find anyone by name. Everyone searches all of Quorum. You can also narrow the search to one of your lists.

Press Follow next to a name, here or beside an author in the Marketplace. Following is one-way. When two people follow each other they become friends. If someone already follows you, the button reads Follow back.

Friends and following in the Marketplace

Releases from people you know stand out:

• Pink: a friend’s release. The tile has a pink outline and the author’s name is pink.
• Cyan: someone you follow. The outline and name are cyan.

To see only those releases, use From in the Marketplace sidebar. Tick Friends or People I follow.

A small people icon next to the version number means the release is shared with a group, not with everyone.

Comments and mentions

Every listing has a Comments section on its details page. Type @ and a name to mention someone. Your friends are suggested first. A mention appears as a highlighted name.

Mentions of you, and comments on your own strategies, appear in the Social tab of the activity feed. Open the feed with the button at the bottom right.

Choose who sees a release

When you publish or update a strategy, Who can see it sets the audience:

• Everyone: listed for every Quorum trader.
• Followers: only people who follow you.
• Friends: only people you follow who follow you back.
• Selected people: only the people you add by name.

Who can comment sets who can post comments: Everyone, Followers or Friends.

You can change both every time you publish an update. Someone who loses access keeps their fork, but the fork stops getting your updates.

Rank yourself against your friends

On Top Earners (the Profits button at the top left), press Show friends. The board then lists only you and your friends, ranked against each other, whether or not you are on the main board. A friend’s results are shown only to their friends.
