Server migration

by Leave a Comment

Apparently, my current hosting account is unable to take on the increase traffic (which I don’t think is that high? 😕 ) this site is experiencing, they are unable to assist me in any form, but asking me to consider to pay more for additionla CPU time. They had given me enough problems for the past two weeks by telling me they are facing hardware issues.

I have chosen another hosting firm with VPS (Virtual Private Server) technology. I am not very sure if this will improve current situation, at least I can get rid of the curret firm. I might still have WordPress issue that need to be solved.?I will be migrating my data to the new server.

?I will start posting once the new server is up.

Hosting+Blogging+WordPress 2.1

[photopress:suspended.PNG,full,pp_image]I am bitting my hosting firm now. As you might have noticed my site was down couples a time with the message “Exceed CPU quota”. After proving with all the log files, nothing seems to be wrong. I am still waiting for the technical support to answer me….

support: I’m truly sorry about this

support: as this isn’t normal

support: I am working with an admin to find out what is going on with this account

Since they keep claiming it might be caused by slow sql. I am wondering if WordPress 2.1 causes this? I am not sure. Any blogger out there using WordPress 2.1 and having the same problem? One of major changes in 2.1 are the fine-tuned sql queries.

Much more efficient database code, faster than previous versions. Domas Mituzas from MySQL went over all our queries with a fine-toothed comb.

Shoot me a comment if you have any clue.

Dummy day trading #47 25-Jan-2007: NQ short trade closed

by Leave a Comment

I made a execution mistake today.

Short position was established at 1120am. It was a slow start. Market started sold off after 1130am. However, I was being a Chicken. Instead of letting the profit run, I covered the position with only 1 R gain. That’s a shame. Poor plan execution. It should have been a multiple Rs day. And I am feeling frustration now. So I am gonna call it a day. 🙁 [Read more…] about Dummy day trading #47 25-Jan-2007: NQ short trade closed

I am looking at NQ. Bulls had a nice day. Nasdaq composite bounced from support. I am not going to write too much of market recap. Trader Mike wrote a recap at his blog. From daily chart of Nasdaq Composite, I am staying positive. From 60-min chart, trend turned up and Adjusted TRIN continued ticking up as well, again, I am positive.

Premarket? of NQ is kinda flat, with positive biased. Let’s see if bulls continue its party.

Summary

  • Previous high:? 1815.75
  • Previous low: 1793.25

It was a strong morning. And, NQ was running without me. Staying flat for 3 days in a row. uhm… I saw a trend coming, however, I just couldn’t find my entry setup. Well, forget it. There are opportunities in the market day in and day out, but they are invisible to me now as I have not learned to recognize them. It takes a pretty long time and effort to build recognition plan and skills.

I received emails asking for information about futures trading. I have yet [Read more…] about Readings: Basic Options

We have positive buying of NQ futures in premarket. We are likely to have a gap up. From daily chart of Nasdaq composite, I am staying neutral, not bearish though. From 60-minute chart of NQ, we are still in downtrend, however, bears seems to be weaker. I see Adjusted TRIN starts ticking up. We are still at support level 1783.25 area.

  • Previous high: 1803.25
  • Previous Low: 1783.25
