As it is, the trader with lower trade count goes first
Just to be on the even safer side, it would be cool if when the first trader greens, the latter greener should NOT cash out until the agreement has been fulfilled completely on both ends. Just a little something I think would make a green for green trade even better.

Well that would definitely help to protect the person with the lower TR. That is something that you can always have added to your trade agreement.

You know something...I honestly believe you may have provided the perfect answer for the g4g "crap" that does and will continue to happen by less than admirable traders!!

Perhaps add to this a penalty of what, half the payout if someone does cash out prior to full g4g completion...I know I'd sure as heck wait vs spending extra money, purely because it's just greed that often drives folks and well, what's the point of not being good to your word, cashing out early/before completion, just to get snagged with an additional fee? I mean..what have you gained, eh?

Yeah...if there were some way to etch this in stone and ensure folks would comply, it's a most excellent idea! Thanks for sharing:)

I haven't done a G4G yet but I will definitely follow the great advice here!

Thank you!!

Another way to help protect yourself in G4G is to make sure that you really research your trade partner before you agree to trade....Read what they have been posting on the forum , read what others have had to say in their feedback, and check with some of those traders who have worked with your prospective partner....Finally, spend some time communicating with the person before you finalize any trade agreement. Knowing your trade partner can really help to minimize your risk.

Again, Linda . . . very well said, and I couldn't agree with you more. Many talk about the negatives associated with G4G and a lot of it comes with simply not researching your trading partner first, and, as you mentioned communicating somewhat prior. I have been very lucky in G4G trading, as have many of my traders. When I am mentoring a new trader, I only try to have them do 6-8 trades, and save offers for G4G trading, where they will not only gain more experience, but their profits will be greater as well.

New traders, just know, if you do G4G correctly, 9 x's out of 10 it'll be one of the best trades you'll do . . . just make sure you have a good mentor guiding you . . . Terry :)
