Outline of MetaTrader Market (Infographics)
The statistics are certainly interesting and attractive. After the infographic was released, I went on the Market. What is interesting, I came across a review (let the seller take no offence, nothing personal, nothing more than a proof of a real precedent):
Just bought the indicator. signals are almost like a two moving average cross signals. bad result in range market and good result in trend market. seems impossible to make money with it.
2 days latter: Developer is asking me to remove my review because it's a negative review and bad for his business. I didn't reply him and now I understand why there was no any negative review for this indicator when I was going to buy it, He is convincing buyers to remove or change their negative reviews by giving back their money or if they are a programmer like me, by adding a negative reviews to their products to force them to change the review.
Mechanic We'll report you to the Meta Quote all your messages regarding this matter is in their database.and thanks for buying our product just to add a negative review at least we got back $12 of $30 that we paid to you.

Turns out negative reviews in the Marketplace are removed without much trouble.
But what about the customers? How should they be guided?
Strictly positive reviews? (so reviews turn out to be filtered from negativity). On the description from the seller? (it is subjective). On the analysis of the demo version? (I am sure that the vast majority of buyers are not even able to test the Expert Advisor).

No one moderates reviews, anything can be published there
So the customer is lying in his review?
But I find it hard to believe -- here's another example:
-- in this picture, the number of reviews is 9.
-- but the product itself has 8.
How can that be? In light of what the seller said above?

They are not moderated by the seller or the moderator, but by the buyer themselves
They are not moderated by the seller or moderator, but by the buyer themselves
That's what the buyer wrote in his review. He is asked by the seller, refunds the money and the buyer deletes the review. This is nothing more than filtering out negative reviews from the Seller.
In fact, my thought is simple. Every Buyer in the Market, every Customer in the Work, every Subscriber in the Signals -- there should be a guarantee and an opportunity to receive -- as objectively as possible -- information.
The information should be both positive and negative. The only source of negative information -- at the moment -- is reviews.
Reviews and so out of the total number of dissatisfied -- not everyone leaves reviews. Negative reviews, due to positive human nature -- are potentially orders of magnitude fewer than positive reviews.
But if the reviews can be removed, for example by refunding the Buyer/Customer/Supplier -- and there is no trace of it. This, I believe, is fundamentally wrong and unfair. Not fair to potential Buyers/Customers/Suppliers.
They are not moderated by the seller or moderator, but by the buyer himself
And what motivated the buyer to first leave a negative review?
And then delete it - did he feel unfair to the seller?
That's what that customer wrote about in his review.

Perhaps, but too ambiguous.
Free translation of what he said as it happened:
"I bought the indicator. The indicator signals are almost identical to the crossing of two MAs. In flat market the result of trading with this indicator is bad. On the trend market it is good. It seems to me that it is impossible to make money with it.
Two days later, the developer asks me to delete my review, as it is negative and badly affects his sales. I didn't answer him anything, but now I understand why there were no negative reviews for his product - the programmer simply returns money for his product to those who left negative reviews, on the condition that the review will be removed."
What's ambiguous about this?
The implication is that the problem of negative reviews is solved by a "rollback".
That's wrong. Neither buyers nor sellers should be allowed to moderate their posts. If there is a discussion of the product with the moderator in the product's private area, it means that such issues should be solved there. Of course this is an unnecessary burden on the moderators, but ... why do we need them then...

New article Outline of MetaTrader Market (Infographics) has been published:
A few weeks ago we published the infographic on Freelance service. We also promised to reveal some statistics of the MetaTrader Market. Now, we invite you to examine the data we have gathered.
MetaTrader Market was officially released in February 2012. The store of trading applications has come a long way since then. Initially the Market was introduced in MetaTrader 5. Then, the Market section was also launched for MetaTrader 4. The range of products has been expanded as well, from offering trading applications to provide also financial magazines and books.
The evolution of the Market increased the sales turnover: by July 2014, about 6 300 products worth a total of more than $522,000 have been sold in the Market, while 520 sellers and 24 500 buyers have already passed through the application store. This increase in sales has given rise to the emergence of the significant number of successful developers making $10,000 or more per month. Check the Market infographic below for more interesting statistical data on the Market service results.
