Cleaning Up

We've still got a lot to do but Traders-Talk is getting cleaned up. We'll be doing a board upgrade very soon, which should address a lot of issues. It should be safe to browse the site, though it'll be a while before Google says so.

Let us know if your personal virus/malware scanners go off however, just in case something is hiding from me.

Video From INO

Hey guys, while I'm waiting for a couple decisions to be made, I wanted to put up this video from INO.

I'll run it on TT too, but for now, I know many are only coming here.

This is what I got from Adam:

Today we are going to take a look at MarketClub's World Cup Portfolio
that has been tracking six markets for the past three years. I think it is fair
to say that the last 36 months have presented one of the most challenging
trading environments in recent memory.

So how did we do?

http://www.ino.com/info/608/CD3524/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

I put together this very short video which is only 1 minute 45 seconds
long and gives you all the information that you need to decide whether
or not this approach is one that could work for you. Bear in mind that
the World Cup Portfolio is a leveraged portfolio unlike our "Perfect
Portfolio" which is not leveraged.

The video can be viewed right here.

I think you will find this video very informative and educational.

All the best,

Server Down

The site server will be going down this afternoon (assuming all goes as planned) for approximately 4 hours. We will likely still have a few problems that will need to be cleaned up, but we're still at it and still kicking.

We'll advise in this space of any new developments.

Taking Much Longer

Every step of the way to a clean and secure server is taking much longer than we'd expected. Part of this is making sure that whatever we do won't be wasted effort and that it both addresses the current problem AND doesn't leave us open to re-attack.

Plus, were not dealing with a single dedicated support person. We have to deal with hardware folks, then server software folks, then board software folks, and research much of this ourselves. There are additional miscommunications along the way, too, which have caused delay.

We apologize for the delays and are working hard to correct the problems.

We'll update when we have a better bead on the time for us to be back up and safe.

Server Move at 9:00

We'll be moving to the backup server in a little bit. Then we'll clean things up. Expect outages on T-T.com over the next several hours.

Things ought to begin moving a bit more quickly, though at some cost to us.

Cross your fingers that things go smoothly.

Still Moving

We're still in the process of moving to a new server. This is most frustrating.

As soon as we start putting things into the end zone we'll report on it.

Sorry for the delay.

Temporary Server

Everything is moving to a temporary server as I type this. We could get some weird stuff for a bit.

We'll then reformat the old server.

Hopefully, everything will begin to fall into place more quickly.

Update 8/4/10

Yesterday afternoon we discovered that Traders-Talk had indeed been hacked. I want to thank all of you who participated in the thread and those who contacted us to help us uncover the problem.

We are currently working on the remedy and we should be back up and running by 2PM Eastern.

Of course, this means upgrades, so you can expect to see some changes in the forthcoming weeks, particularly of the security-type, but perhaps some additional tweaks as we go along.

We'll keep you updated.

Sentiment

Our read is that partially long Bulls may be too numerous and may bring a pullback, and the OEX P/C supports that, but most our other stuff is pretty neutral.

Site Problems

We're dealing with a security issue on Traders-Talk.com.

Chances are, if you have good antivirus protection, you're going to be OK stopping in there, but if you're concerned, use this blog. We'll have a couple of threads you can use to update.

We'll also provide status reports. I'm hopeful that we'll be back in business shortly.
