Getting certificate error using firefox...

Anybody else getting this?

Works fine with IE

Thanks for reporting this, I'm not able to reproduce this myself, but a quick google suggests there might be something wrong with our ssl set-up - so we'll check it out.

If you're referring to the trade tab, it could either be your not logged in, or you're viewing someone else's account that you don't have permission to trade on. Check if it's either of those. If not let me know, and we'll investigate.

Ok, false alarm. I was unexpectedly logged off.

First update for the 2nd week of the contest and we have crap_trader, Superspurs & breadman in the top 3 spots....for now!!
Good luck all :clover::clover:

Atilla - the firefox ssl issue should now be resolved. Let me know if you have any further problems.

Indeed there was an issue with the ssl setup of our intermediary certificates, which has been fixed. All browsers should show the page properly now without any certificate warnings.

Again thanks for spotting it and letting us know.

Hi all, latest update as we approach the end of the week.
crap_trader, Ross Spur, MINCH & Superspurs are in the leading pack as enter the final stages of this weeks contest...

 

[EK1]

It's all hotting up as we approach the end of this week's contest.
Ross Spur is now in top spot followed closely by Superspurs & breadman. However as we all know the leaderboard can change in a flash!

Not sure about the etiquette of this, I guess it could be considered rude to even ask, but then I am pretty rude :cheesy:

So how does everyone else trade ? Especially Ross Spur

Because I basically use the 3 ducks system for my trend, and then the MACD & ADX and recent price action for triggers, and that works fine in steady markets, but not at the moment.. not at all... So I had a look at Ross Spurs trades today, and he's just banging out the good trades...

So sorry if it's rude to ask, but I think if eveyone knew how everyone else traded, it would be a massively beneficial learning experience. Just as I'd like to know how people are getting it right, it would be just as helpful to know why people are getting it wrong. I've also seen people make trades that make no sense to me but obviously may be part of a usually winning system...

So spit it out

 

[Shikamaroo]

[Booger]

[EK1]

Nearly at the final hurdle and we have a really tight finish - Superspurs, Ross Spur and crap_trader in the top 3 spots at present, but could easily change....Good luck all! :clover:

 

[Ross Spur]

I've always been a Page 3 person myself.

 

[superspurs]

Congrats Ross,you collected those extra few pips.

Well done.

Nice to see the spurs in 1 and 2.

Thanks, SuperS. I'd like to say it was all down to pure skill, but that would be a complete lie. Trading the contest way with real money would be a quick route to bankruptcy.

Gongratulations Ross. Great Trading.
