Make-A-Wish has been selected as the July Charity of the Month. The mission of Make-A-Wish is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

TraderPlanet members have the ability to donate to this great cause by using the Mendels that they earn on TraderPlanet. Each member has an opportunity to earn Mendels through their positive participation in the community.

The newest Editor’s Choice featuring Lind-Waldock Trading Platforms has just been posted on TraderPlanet. 

Darrell Jobman gives a review of Lind Elite, Lind-Waldock’s top of the line trading platform.  For the active trader looking to automate a trading strategy, one of the neatest features of Lind Elite is S.E.M.E. - single entry, multiple exits. A trader can set up exact conditions for getting into a trade and then, once in the trade, getting out with predetermined profit or loss objectives, using one-cancels-the-other or other types of orders that provide flexibility in a variety of market settings.

Make sure you check out the newest Editor’s Choice review, as all TraderPlanet members will be invited to evaluate and vote on the finalist candidates for the annual Publisher’s Choice Awards, coming in early 2010.
