====== Editing Traders ======

**Personal Data** — The trader's contact information and the IP address from which they registered.

**Site Name and Site Description** — Used to display the trader in your top list.

**Status** — "Feeder" is a special status for traffic sources. Feeder clicks don't affect rotation stats (so they don't skew statistics against main traders), and feeders appear in a separate table in the Trade section.

**Ratio** — The percentage of traffic you send to this trader. When "VIP trade - keep ratio" is enabled, the script strictly maintains the ratio you set: increasing sends if needed, or suspending if you're sending too much.

**Hourly Force** — Sends a minimum number of hits per hour.

**Fast Force NOW** — Send a specific number of hits immediately (useful for starting a new trade). You can also do this from the main screen by clicking the trader's values.

**IN Trade Type** — Determines which incoming traffic to count for debt calculation:
  * Row — All hits
  * Unique — Unique visitors only
  * Average — Average of all and unique hits

**Recommended:** Unique

**Trade Type** — Determines how the script calculates debt owed to/from the trader:
  - Normal — debt = in * ratio * prod – out
  - Capped — debt = in * ratio – out
  - Real Prod — debt = in * ratio * prod (only trade clicks count, content clicks don't) – out
  - TD type — debt = (in+click)/2 - out

**Recommended:** Normal

**Include in Toplist** — When unchecked, the trader won't appear in your top list (useful for sponsors or PPCs).

**Skip trader in Anticheat** — When enabled, the script doesn't monitor this trader for cheating, meaning you fully trust them.

**Eligible for Exout hits** — Whether to send traffic to the trader even if they owe you hits. Example: You owe Trader A traffic, while Trader B owes you traffic. A surfer clicks; the first click goes to Trader A, and the second could go to Trader B (even though they owe you) or to exout. Generally, sending to the trader makes sense. When "Eligible for Exout hits" is enabled, traffic goes to them. Use "Stop sending Exout Hits" and "Start sending Exout Hits" to control this based on hourly traffic thresholds.


**Advanced Traffic Settings**

**Trade Start Limit (Min to start trade)** — Minimum hits needed to start trading with this trader. This threshold is measured per hour (not spread over days).

**Eligible for Exout hits** — Whether this trader can receive exout hits (traffic sent when they owe you hits). Controls whether you send extra traffic if they're over-delivering.

**Stop sending Exout Hits** (if less than hits/hourly) — Stops exout traffic if hourly hits fall below this threshold.

**Start sending Exout Hits** (if more than hits/hourly) — Resumes exout traffic when hourly hits exceed this threshold.

**Use Limit Ratio** — A useful feature for capping traffic. Consider this example:

10 incoming hits, 2500% productivity, 130% ratio
- Capped at 130%: (10 * 1.3) = 13 hits out
- Normal at 130%: (10 * 1.3 * 2.5) = 32.5 hits out
- Limit ratio at 200% + normal: Since prod > 200%, use limit ratio: (10 * 2) = 20 hits out

Three modes are available:
- **Strict** — Send traffic normally until limit ratio is reached. After that, send zero hits. Trader disappears from top list.
- **Inexact** — After hitting the limit ratio, trader doesn't receive thumb clicks but stays in the top list and can get some traffic above the limit.
- **Smooth** — Script gradually reduces the ratio as it approaches the limit. Trader remains in top list.

**Send Cheat Hits to other URL** — Routes cheat traffic to a different URL instead of the trader.

**Send Proxy hits to other URL** — Routes proxy traffic to a different URL instead of the trader.

**Hourly Out Limit** — Maximum clicks sent to the trader per hour. Once exceeded, the trader is blocked for the rest of that hour.

**Personal First click** — Sets a custom first-click behavior for this trader.

**Personal Trade Scheme** — Removed (duplicated existing functionality). Use personal skimming instead; for example, entering `100,0,0,100` sets the traffic pattern.


**Send info about visited traders** — Useful for narrow niches and multi-site operations. This allows two SmartCJ installations to share information about which traders a surfer has visited. Example: You have domain1.com and domain2.com, both running SmartCJ. Traders overlap (e.g., foreigndomain.com gets traffic from both). Normally, when domain1.com sends a surfer to domain2.com, domain2.com doesn't know where that surfer has already been. This feature tells domain2.com about the surfer's visit history, so domain2.com can avoid sending them back to traders they've already visited. This increases the quality and uniqueness of traffic leaving your sites.


===== Trader Groups - Special URLs =====

Assign traders to groups using checkboxes. This is especially useful for multi-niche sites. If you operate multiple niches and trade with another multi-niche site, targeting matching niches (e.g., your teen page to their teen page) significantly increases productivity compared to just sending to their homepage.

**How to use:**
  - Add the group parameter to all URLs on your teen page: `out.php?group=teen&url=...`
  - Edit the trader and set a special URL for this specific group (e.g., `traderdomain.com/teen.html`)

**Algorithm:** If no group parameter exists, send to the main URL. If a group parameter is present, check for a custom URL for that group. If one exists, send there; otherwise, send to the main URL.


===== Trade Support/Suspend System =====

Controls automatic trader support and suspension. The key is ensuring your conditions don't overlap (e.g., one rule enabling while another disables simultaneously).

===== Site Types =====

Different site types have different behaviors:

**Toplist** — When marked as a toplist, SmartCJ automatically calculates the reset time. This appears in the trader's popup and in the edit panel.

**Tube** — The script passes the movie ID to the trader when a redirect occurs after a video click. This works best between your own sites or in a master-slave setup. Here's how: You have an embed site. A surfer clicks on movie ID 123, and the script redirects them to the trader's site (link: `domain/?try=123`). If the trader also runs SmartCJ, the script recognizes the ID and shows that specific movie page instead of the homepage. This improves conversion (user wanted to see a movie, got it) and allows them to click related thumbnails on the trader's site.

This requires:
  - The trader also runs SmartCJ
  - Either a master-slave setup (IDs match exactly) or overlapping content

If the trader doesn't have that movie ID, the homepage displays.


===== Trader Thumb =====

The **Thumb Shift** option skips the first X thumbnails when grabbing trader thumbnails. This is useful if a trader's first thumbnails are toplist images or other non-content images that you want to exclude.
