Big Mike ,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this but when I click on the Upcoming Event links (like the John Grady one), it doesn't really take me anywhere. I am using Firefox 25.0. My apologies if you already posted about this.
Thanks!
The links for each event are placeholders until I get the finalized bullet points and create the event, usually 3-5 days before the event. At that time it will link to the webinar discussion thread.

Cogito ergo sum
It appears that the bloomberg video tags broke.
Can you post a bloomberg URL to a video that you say is broken, so I can then test it. (the full URL to bloomberg)

Mike
For Example: Judge Approves SAC Insider Plea: Video - Bloomberg
Code
<object data='http://www.bloomberg.com/video/embed/S8uTuUWERsaxXKAYcJ~_Iw?height=395&width=640' width=640 height=430 style='overflow:hidden;'></object>
Retreive: S8uTuUWERsaxXKAYcJ~_Iw
Alternatively Retreive: 8uTuUWERsaxXKAYcJ~_Iw?
Or even: S8uTuUWERsaxXKAYcJ
Wrap with the bloomberg tags
Other videos that used to work are not working any longer see:

Enabled SPDY 3.1 SSL support, as nginx was patched to fix the problem we were experiencing last year with SPDY.
Please report any problems. The last time, the problem manifested with large downloads being aborted.

Nope.
Reverted back, same problem still existed. So no SPDY for us yet.

I received several questions about Market Wizard promotions.
If you go to your profile page by clicking your username or Quick Links - Your Profile, then the Statistics tab, at the bottom you will see your forum reputation score.
Also: "You will reach Market Wizard level once your reputation is equal to about the top 5% of the highest reputation members, and you've been a member for over six months, and have written more than 250 posts."
As of this post, that value is approximately 50 so a forum reputation > 50 = Market Wizard.
The calculations are largely based on how active you are. Not just logging in, but posting. Not just posting, but how many useful posts you right (looking at how many posts vs how many thanks received). Also looking at how many
screenshots you post or indicators you post, and how often they are viewed.
Mike
Hi @Big Mike
Have the criteria changed for Market Wizard? (Other than the reputation score, which I know changes and is probably higher now.)
My forum reputation as of this morning is 144. It went over 100 about a week ago, I think. I also went over 250 posts last week, and have been a member since January, 2013.
Should this have switched? Not a big deal, mostly just curious.
Thanks.
Bob.

A change was made a while back that requires 500 posts before being considered for Market Wizard. So you will qualify one you get to this figure based on your current stats.

Added NinjaTrader 8 category to Downloads section, as once released NT8 will require all new indicators and NinjaScript code.
Once NT8 is released it will be extremely important to differentiate NT8 indicators from prior versions as the two are not compatible.

@Big Mike ,
Do you know HOW different NT8 will be from NT7? Will it be easy to modify NT7 indicators to work in NT8 or will we have to hire a programmer?
After all, it's what you learn AFTER you know it all, that counts!
