Activities oriented are those who want to do everything themselves jumping like a monkey all day around and ending up by exhausting themselves as well making life difficult for the staff.

This research suggests that "tuning" social trading networks by providing carefully selected copy recommendations can increase gains and boosts average returns per user, while preventing "bubbles" in the market
