Now my trading day couldn't be easier. I just set up my three charting windows and start auto-refreshing. At any point in the trading day, a quick glance over to my StockCharts screen tells me everything I need to know about the markets! - A.J. Tripp
Do you have a StockCharts success story you'd like to share? We'd love to hear about it!
CRAZY FROM THE HEAT - On the technology side of things we are continuing to upgrade our data center. We now have over 60 different servers driving our website. As you might imagine, 60+ servers consume quite a lot of electricity and produce quite a lot of heat. Because of that, we are embarking on a project that, when complete, will triple our power and cooling capacity. It's quite a large undertaking and will consume a lot of our attention in the coming months, but the end result will be well worth it as we will be able to continue growing our website for the foreseeable future.
AND A "HEART" TRANSPLANT TOO! - As if the cooling/power project wasn't enough, we've also placed an order for upgraded "load balancers" from F5 Networks. Our Load Balancers are the heart of our website - they direct your chart requests to the appropriate server(s) and automatically take any misbehaving servers off-line. While we love our current load balancers, bigger and faster ones are now available. We just placed a 6-figure order for new ones that should fix a variety of technical problems and take our site well into the future. We expect them to arrive within the next month.
