3 new features

The latest site release contains 3 new features.

  1. Update to Rolling Test Tool user interface and risk statistics calculations.
    We updated the rolling test interface. The new rolling test interface now includes calendar months and years for period and the rolling offset. The users now can choose appropriate or desired unit of time for their analysis, which is beneficial when the rolling test results when compared to other data based on calendar periods. Lastly, because we automatically calculate the number of samples, it gives the users flexibility to choose the time range for the analysis.
    Note that risk statistics generated from rolling test samples are now computed using the same methodology as ports/sims (using monthly period). We recommend at least a 6-month period if you intend to analyze risk statistics.

  2. Optional new TRADE security verification method using SMS/Text Message authentication.
    You will now have the option to verify your location using a SMS verification code or a second TRADE password.
    If you already have set up a TRADE password and want to keep using that method you don’t have to do anything.
    But if you would rather not remember a second password, you can enter your phone number to receive a verification code.

  3. Screen Backtest risk statistics period setting.
    You can now select a MONTHLY, WEEKLY, or DAILY period to be used when calculating screen backtest risk stats. The default is MONTHLY.

Dear admins,

ad 2)
After entering my mobile phone number for SMS security verification (an selected German prefix +49), I see the following message:

ERROR: cannot send text messages to this number, please enter another or use the password verification method

My mobile phone number, however, is a valid one.

Thanks for clarification.

Hello. We weren’t able to test the service on every country. We’ll have to look into what’s up with Germany. For now I guess you’ll have to stick with the passed method.

Thanks Tedb

Hello Ralph

Think we found the issue with foreign mobile numbers and sms messages.

It should work now if you want to try again.
