Will look into this Tams. Thanks for reporting.

yep same here... thats what happens when you work with designers who dont have a clue about trading. Good design work though

Hi Moyyim, I appreciate the notices as I did not even notice this myself. We have managed to change this up. Thanks again.

Hi thalestrader, we fixed the formatting of the ads and seems to have fixed the issues you had brought up. I am hoping that the changes will also reflect on your end. Please do let me know if you still experience spikes in CPU. Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience. Regards, James

Will get this fixed. Thanks.

The formatting of the banners when uploading into our ad management system went wrong. We are trying to fix this issue at the moment. Is this even possible out of curiosity? These are .swf files... we currently do not support the recent fancy formats.

Hi Crossroads, Please use this link for now: Traders Laboratory - I will spend some time updating the design for this page and hope to have it back shortly on the tabs. Thanks.

Hi thales, this has been disabled. We are working on the issues right now. Thanks.

Thanks diablo, this has been fixed. What we are trying to do now is to enhance the private threads area so members can freely create private threads, invite other members, and have the ability to remove and add new users into their threads as well. The error script code was due to bugs within this new system we are trying to implement but has been fixed now. Thanks.

Congrats to Ant for winning the August POTM contest for his post located here. Thanks to all those who voted.

Hi Thales, I am temporary halting those ads and looking into this issue. Thanks.

Received this book from a friend in Bloomberg. The book discusses various examples of financial risk mainly within the derivatives market. It is also a very simplified read on how swaps work. Dealing with Financial Risk covers detailed stories on LTCM, Metallgesellschaft, and Mulhouse Brand. It also addresses the importance of risk officers, their roles and models, the role of regulatory agencies, and a few insights on how insiders deal with financial crisis. A reader looking to obtain further insights into to how risks are transferred within the financial industry may find this book interesting. A trader looking to gain an edge in his strategy will find this book dull and boring. What I particulary liked about this book is the insights into how major banks and regulators socialize to make key financial decisions. Here is a particular excerpt from the book: American bank: "We are willing to take the hit if the market value of these options goes down, but not if they decide that they can't pay and won't pay." Greenspan: "We're prepared to support the American banks on this line." American bank: "Unless we have an agreement we're shorting the D-mark with everything we have tomorrow." Greenspan: "We'de better let them know that."

Product Description from Amazon Risk is an intrinsic component of finance that both dictates and complicates investments and companies. This book offers an exceptionally thorough and ambitious introduction to financial risk and risk management—direct from the capital markets editor of The Economist. Dealing with Financial Risk presents key concepts in a simple and entertaining way by explaining the endeavors, mistakes, and successes of others as they tried to identify, measure, and simplify risk and make it work for them. It includes analysis of some of the recent corporate disasters and what each has added to the understanding of financial risk, including Baring Brothers in 1995, Long-Term Capital Management in 1998, and Enron in 2001. In addition, the book explores the risks of the financial system as a whole and analyzes recent attempts to ensure greater stability within the system. This book will become a standard introduction to the concept of financial risk and the realities of financial risk management. Written for the intelligent layman as well as for a company or bank executive or a student who needs an introduction or refresher course on risk, Dealing with Financial Risk capitalizes on the pervasiveness and persistence of the topic.

The pivot calculator has been removed. It was creating problems for us and instead of redeveloping the page, I have decided to eliminate it instead. Frankly, many platforms already have these tools as an indicator and the demand on the pivot page was rather low. Thanks.

Hi Ant, thank you for the notification. I have reported this bug to my coder as well. We currently have a list of about 15 bugs that we are fixing in order. Im hoping to get all these resolved within the next few days. Thanks.

Hi Kiwi, I have reported this to our coders. Its clearly a bug we left out and need to implement. Regarding the browser issue, I will look into this asap. Thanks.

Hi Kiwi, I noticed this too on firefox and with other sites as well. I havent seen this problem in any other browser as of yet. I suspecting its a firefox issue but am having my coders look into this. Thanks.

Hi Tams, I believe this has been fixed today. Please let me know if you continue to see this issue. Thanks.

Hi, thank you for the patience. The issue has been fixed. It was a problem with our server firewall settings. Thank you.

This has been fixed.. it was quite embarrassing not to notice this myself. Thank you.

Hi Tams, the request has been sent as well. Thanks.

Thanks ochie, the errors have been fixed and trademark removed for now. However, I am not sure if it needs to be included so may need to add this later again.
