I had certificate error a couple of weeks back. I changed a firefox option and it started working again.

Looks like the contest is not open today.

Yes, the same.

Was going to put some trades up - would have gone long on AUDUSD 1.0424 at the mo... :cheesy:

No certificate error in Firefox but I'm getting 'Market Closed'. Is it still the weekend? Where am I?... Who am I??

Yes, I knew there was something a bit funny when a lot of my contest trades had funny prices.

 

[Sharky]

So, the issue with the market remaining closed was caused by our server running out of disk space. For some reason our monitoring system didn't alert us, as it' supposed to, long before running out of space. We've cleared up some space this morning and now trading has resumed. We're going to review out monitoring setup to make sure this doesn't happen. Thanks for your patience.

oh yeahhh

 

[BeginnerJoe]

Great, my Trade button disappeared. Did I get banned from trading because I traded so poorly ?

 

[Sharky]

If you're referring to the trade tab, it could either be you're 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.
