When things get quiet – – and they have become SO quiet lately, as if people have decided just to call the entire year a “wrap” at this point – – I like to trot out the ETFs and speak in general terms about what I’m seeing.

It seems hard to believe, but we’ll be celebrating Slope’s 16th birthday in just a few months. In advance of that, me team and I are focusing on infrastructure improvements. In the midst of doing so, I’m looking to improve the navigation of Slope to make sure as many people know of all the helpful tools and features available to them here. With so much on the site, it’s easy for things to become forgotten.

I made an attempt toward this goal earlier this year, by making some pages specific to kinds of user. There’s a home page for equity traders. There’s a home page for options traders. And, of course, there are the home pages for the different levels of service, like Sloper, Gold, and so forth. But none of these are going to win any international design awards.
