Sapana,

hello,

Trading Assistant programme is excellent.

It helps New Members to learn from experienced Ones.

But preference of listing the members in your directory, as per the feedback score, is not justified.

I would suggest that if that serial order is to be followed then kindly mention the Feedback percentage along side.

regards
