What is the initial price attributed to my tip?

Because we don't have live data from stock market yet on Stocktipr.com, we are using end of the day data from stock exchange provided from Xignite.com. There is two way for us to attribute initial price to your tip:

1. Using the last closing price of the current day for all tips posted during the stock exchange opening time
2. Using the next opening price of the following day for all tips posted after the trading hour of the stock exchange or during week-end when it's close

With this way of using the opening price, we make sure that some news doesn't affect a Tipper score.

Which stock exchanges are covered on Stocktipr.com?

On Stocktipr, we cover companies on the TSX, TSX-V and NASDAQ. For now, we cover both Canadian markets, TSX and TSX-V and one of the American markets, the NASDAQ. We will cover NYSE, NYSE Alternext and OTC hopefully early in 2011. For more info or to give us feedback, contact us at info@stocktipr.com.

The Tipper's score and the Tip's score, why two scores?

Each tip get scored according to it's performance and accuracy compared to the real performance of the stock on the stock market. Tips with high profit generated over a short period of time will get the best scores. Our proprietary algorithm attributes a score for each completed tip. The average of each tip score determinate the overall score of the tippers.

What is the proprietary algorithm?

The proprietary algorithm calculates a score for each tip according to its performance (ROI) and accuracy.

Performance: Tips with high profit generated over a short period of time will get the best scores.
Accuracy: The closest the prediction (tip) is from the real performance of the stock on the stock market during the chosen time frame, the highest it get scored!

Votes will bring a tip to the top of the most popular section but won't influence the score of the tips and tippers. Votes are just an indicator of the community feeling toward the tip.

Why top active tippers?

In order to be sure that we promote only the best tipper in the community, we decided to classify the Tippers into 2 categories: Top Active Tippers and All tippers.

Top Actives tippers are Tippers with a Live Tips. In that way, we make sure that there are no Top Tippers with only one tip (we reduce the "luck" factor).
