    Time to have a contingency

    Time to have a contingency plan in case it goes down during market hours.  Market begins to crash, internet down, problems with the Grid.....

    steverobin - I mean I can use my phone as hotspot, it's just painfully slow to try and record and upload audio.  I can get by with it to power quotes and brokerage to get out of things or whatever. But not ideal for newsletter recording. The way the backend recorder works - for every slide/chart, you know when you here us say 'Next chart number 21' the internet page we use for recording uploads that audio file to the server - it's the uploading that is super slow - Basically I record one chart slide and wait 20 seconds for the next one to appear - it doesn't appear until the audio portion for the first one is uploaded.

    again my hotspot is already a contingency for more important things like managing my trades in case it were to go out in the middle of the day, it's okay powering things like TS and IB, the quotes themselves are not that taxing.  anyway was annoying.  

    Matt:  thanks for the reply.

    Matt:  thanks for the reply.  I was actually making a general comment to the group that each of us needs to have a contingency in place during the trading day in case of a big internet outage that effects many.

    gotcha yes everyone should have

    gotcha yes everyone should have some sort of contingency plan if they are doing this full time such as adding hotspot to your phone etc, sometimes you have to add that to your phone's wireless plan like an extra $5 or $10 a month but worth having just in case
