Hewison developed INO.com and MarketClub after many years as a professional floor trader and member of several major exchanges. On the new blog, Hewison will share his years of experience with fellow traders by including trading tips, free lessons, a chart of the day and occasional video analysis of blogger suggested symbols. “We're giving these bloggers lessons and tips that typically cost hundreds of dollars elsewhere. To me it's about making a connection and letting them get to know us and learning successful styles of trading,” says Hewison. MarketClub blog users will be able to vote for video analysis topics, comment on posted tips, and access an archive of educational information.
Dave Maher, INO.com's Technical Director, developed and launched MarketClub on February 8th, 2005. The blog section is a recent addition following the new era of interactive visitor participation (Web 2.0) “We are excited to have our users participate and to introduce an open community for trading ideas,” says Maher. “This is a new generation of the MarketClub site, and it is the first of new trading and market search tools we will be offering this year.” The interactive platform has taken a year to create and has also inspired INO.com to approach their users in a more interactive way.
Presently the blog is open to everyone, however Hewison plans to offer this blog feature solely to his MarketClub members in the near future. Hewison says, “I want our subscribers to feel that they belong and their views are important. They are as much a part of INO and MarketClub as we are.”
