@jmont1 alerted me to a problem with BrightCloud's "web root" product classifying futures.io as "suspicious".

I looked into it, this is because the domain is brand new.

I need you guys to fill out this form:
URL Reputation Change Request | Webroot BrightCloud

Change to "81-100" and enter your email address, product = webroot, and for notes just say that we are a reputable site that just changed their name from bigmiketrading.com after 6 years.

It needs several submissions to take effect.

Thank you.

Mike

I can't remember where the BMT 5 thread is, but I presume you are aware that 'old' new Beta site is now giving cert fails or privacy warnings:

Just got this email:


Hello again -

We have reviewed futures.io and determined that it does not need to be changed at this time based on BrightCloud’s url reputation criteria.

It currently has a reputation score of 79 in the BrightCloud Service and available in Database version 4.642.

We are experiencing delays sending some of our response emails, so this notification may be delayed. However most URL change requests was handled on time, usually within 24-48 hours.

That URL is wrong, the certificate is for futures.io.

As mentioned in that thread, the beta site is in limbo waiting for IPB 4.1 which is due out shortly, and then testing will resume.

Mike

I've just globally updated all posts that had embedded YouTube videos pointing to our old channel, so the video now points to the new channel.

This was a massive undertaking involving lots of scripts, scrapers, mysql queries, and about 40 hours of my life re-populating our channel.

I've done spot checks the best I could with limited time -- seeing how the last part of replacing post text was automated, please report any problems.

Basically, if you run across a YouTube video on the site that is linking to our old BMT channel, please report it.

Mike

@Big Mike, I assume the change was already made by the time the above mail was responded to. The site now shows up as "Reputation: Low Risk" with a green check mark. So we are good!

Here is my email response from BrightCloud:

Hello again -

Weird I just looked on a different computer and it still says a score of 40.

Obviously, I use this site every day and gave a lot of feedback for the Beta when that was active. I was only concerned that occasional surfers getting that message rather than it being simply reported offline or in construction would just add more fodder to the army of loonies that still show up at the top of Big Mike Google searches.

Hi Mike,

Great work!

Reporting broken sound in this video (exact time 5:28):


Chris

What is the product/integration? Won't take my input.

Thank you very much for reporting this. This will be the second video I have to replace for unknown reasons, and I am concerned that other videos have the same issue. I mass uploaded over 150 webinars, I haven't had the chance to test all of them to ensure they are working.

It will take me a bit of time to replace this one. In the meantime, I really need everyone's help to spot check all videos on our YouTube channel for sound.

Skip to the last 5 minutes of the video, if it has sound then it is probably OK. The issue seems to be sound disappears for some unknown reason in the two reported cases so far. Please give me the URL's of any additional bad videos.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Just quickly putting this one, at 39:28 sounds goes away (I will check the rest of them later):


cheers

@chr1s I've replaced both videos, please check.

If there are any other videos with problems guys, please let me know! This is super important.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Those 2 re-uploaded work perfectly fine
Unfortunately I was out almost whole weekend and wasn't around any computer to test the rest of them but no worries I will do it tomorrow (London time).

cheers
Chris

How do you plan on testing all 150? My internet is very slow here, it would take me hours and hours even just skipping to the last 5 minutes

Sent from my phone

Hi Mike,

heh one at a time and not only the last 5 mins - you leave it to me

Chris

I certainly appreciate your help Chris. So far in all three cases, the broken audio -- if existing -- persisted through to the end of the recording. So I think a spot check of the last 5 minutes would be sufficient to detect if the audio problem is present.

Hi Mike,

all done (in 33mins) for yah, all vides checked, the result:

That's truly incredible. You checked all 150+ videos in 30 minutes? That's crazy!

Thanks, I'll get to re-uploading these shortly. I am relieved that only a few more had trouble, I was starting to panic that dozens of them were going to be problematic!

Mike

Hi Mike,

no worries, I'm planning on watching them properly too.
My test was first 5min then 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and the last 7-5mins so if there was a missing sound in the middle I can somewhat catch that too. That also reminded me of your videos where you were answering forum questions, those are really good - I think these should be included in a beginners material thread or something

cheers
Chris

Thanks again Chris. I've re-uploaded these last two remaining videos and replaced all links so they point to the new videos. They are still processing, should be ready in an hour.

Mike

No worries
Will check them in an hour then

Hi @Big Mike,

everything looks good now
Chris

That site should not appear in any Google search results. Are you saying Google lead you there?

Mike

Hi @Big Mike,



everything looks good now

Chris

Hi @Big Mike,

don't know if you're aware of the side poll having BMT in it:


cheers
Chris

Yes I am. Honestly having a hard time finding where that is coming from, it may be there until new framework

Sent from my phone

Hi Mike,

I bet you either tried or don't have time to select fieldname, tablename, val from (select on db schema listing all tables etc) etc - basically looking up 'BMT' in the whole DB outputting fieldname, source table - this may give an indication where it is

cheers
Chris

It is not in the database but the filesystem, it's an old mod, not in the usual spot in filesystem. Could be anywhere, and I don't have time to search right now.

Mike

Hi Mike,

just stating Captain Obvious over here - go through files (if not weirdly encrypted) in the same manner (a simple script). But I completely understand effort/time to result ratio when there's another framework coming in.

cheers
Chris

I know how to grep. It's not that simple it would have done it already

Found it.

Hi @Big Mike,

a bit of pain on Friday some of the dev stuff is not updated:

BMT API for Programmers vvhg has made a NinjaTrader automatic poster for screenshots and text: There are various overloads to these methods, so you don't need to use all arguments. The two methods are: and The first will post a screenshot of the chart it has been called …

and it's completely understandable in this case, but given the fact that "the new framework" is coming (or at least that's my impression from reading posts) and not knowing the tech stack it's reasonable to assume that current API will change or be disabled - can you correct me here please?

The reason I'm asking is because I would like to prop some plugin allowing to post directly from NT.

Thank you,
Chris

All of it will still function to the best of my knowledge. I see that the example code blocks have (formerly BMT) in them, but a quick search/replace will correct that for you.

Take note, this API is not planned to continue to the new framework, since it goes virtually unused by 99.999% of users.

That said, @sam028 is already working on a FIO module to allow posting of screenshots directly to futures.io using the NT8 "share" module, and this functionality will be maintained on the new framework (it doesn't use the API). Perhaps you can collaborate with him to complete that job, and/or start a new separate discussion thread for that.

To be clear, it will be a clipboard style transfer - the API will not be used, you will need to manually paste the content.

Mike

I would have paid to port the API, but since virtually no one uses it, I didn't see the point. We can continue that discussion in the new framework thread:

futures.io new framework Guys, Lately I've seen an increasing number of posts requesting changes or functionality on futures.io (formerly BMT). I've posted some comments scattered throughout the forum, but I wanted to create a single thread to draw more attention and …

Mike

I have updated our Webinars page

https://futures.io/webinars/#registernow

And replaced all YouTube links so they go to our new channel. I've looked over this for a while to ensure I didn't make errors, but because there were so many URL's I did automate this using multiple scripts, so please let me know if you find a problem.

On a semi-related note, the non-YouTube webinars have "Flowplayer" watermarked into them due to the license being for our old domain name. I'll look into this, but it will be solved soon anyway when we move to the new framework and new HTML5 player.

Mike
