ExoticFX – Explosive First Week

Our first week has come and gone, and what a week it was. EFX is progressing ahead of schedule,
and ahead of schedule is always good. So I thought I should write a more personal message to our members
this time to enlighten you on our past, present and future plans.

Our First Week…

With every new endeavor, the road to success can at first be a little rocky.

Prior to launch we did our homework, we searched forums, spoke with support personnel,
researched past program archives and discussed the options. We feel we did a much better than average job,
but not perfect.

Since our launch we have experienced a couple of issues…

First we had some issues with the API’s used to masspay via LR and AP. On a couple of occasions
LR sent us the same batch number twice which caused some members to reflect as paid in our script
while actually not receiving the withdrawn profits. This has been corrected and will no longer be an issue.
The 4 or 5 members that experienced this were paid.

Secondly, we had a similar problem with AP. This was our fault as we failed to properly research
the AP masspay system and did not realize that they had an IPN system for returning information regarding
payouts. Again, this problem has been corrected and will no longer be an issue.

Thirdly, we had a handful of deposits arrive in our system that did not populate the EFX
member’s account. On a couple of occasions this was simply a typical computer packet transfer loss.
On another instance it was caused by propagation timing while we were re-pointing our DNS.

Even though there were only a few, and I mean less than 10 with errors listed above, we aren’t willing
to allow any discrepancies in our system to remain.

Since noticing these errors and upon the insistence of our accounting staff, we have created an
automated cross-verification system that will be implemented to ease the process.
This will allow us to upload the e-currency history into our script to automatically verify
all deposits and withdrawals have been processed properly. Any discrepancies will be
immediately dealt with. No other script has this feature.

Fourthly, we survived our first DDOS attack. Less than a full week old, and we have
had a DDOS attack against our program. It amazes me that our program was attacked at such an early stage.
The natives are already getting restless it appears.

Finally, we made an upgrade to our DDOS protection which required the re-pointing of our DNS.
When we did this we experienced some down time as well as an aggravation of our Keycode system.
Members were not able to access the site for a several hours.

Because of that mishap, and because several members have a hard time keeping track of the expired keycodes,
we have added a feature to the members area that displays the most recently expired keycodes.
Now you will have a reference.

If at any time you are experiencing an ‘Authentication Failed’ error message, ONLY TWO situations
will cause this error message:

1. Using an expired ONE-TIME use keycode.
2. Improper input of the Captcha words.

Both have relatively simple solutions…

The Captcha system we employ is the highest security available. It is hard to read sometimes,
but it is simple to refresh until an easier to read set of words are displayed. Hopefully you agree
the better security is worth it.

Our keycode system provides a higher level of security than ANY of the e-currencies/processors we accept.
There is NOT ONE other program around that provides a higher level of security than EFX.

I agree, the keycodes can be difficult to keep up with. But we have installed a reminder inside your
accounts to provide you with a list of the last used keycodes and they are automatically sent
by email when they are all used.

Be certain to review the 'expired keycodes' reminder inside your account. When in doubt,
simply request more. Once new ones are requested, the old keycodes automatically become
null and void and the new set of 5 keycodes arrive by email ready to be used.

Online investment programs and their members are bombarded with hacking attempts, DDOS attacks,
keylogger attempts, phishing emails etc. Providing the best security to be found, ensuring the safety
of your funds and our program can, should, and I am sure will, provide most of us with a lessened level of anxiety.

More security is....Just better!


Currently…

Our first week, in spite of the above, has been an overall extreme success.

We have an Alexa Ranking for the month of 49189.

We have 629 members.

We have a total of more than $90,000 invested.

I would venture to say that this has not been a bad first week.

We are already being recognized as ‘The One to Watch’ by many of the top players.
We have no doubt we will quickly climb the ranks as we become the top program of this year and many years to come. This statement is not made lightly or just to hear myself say it.
We will not stop giving our best and we will not fail.

We will become the number one program available, and that is a promise.
You watch us! I can guarantee the competition is!

Where we are headed…

On our journey to becoming the ‘Numero Uno’ we realize we now have a road ahead that
must be paved with achievement and perfection. No more ‘Rocky Road’ for us.

I hope you can clearly see we are well on our way!

We have the most secure investment platform on the net!

We have a plan for a success that we have absolute faith in!

We have unrivaled support from a huge staff of tireless individuals that want nothing more than to
assist you in any challenge you could possibly face.

Please go and meet some of them in our live support chat.

We have our Senior Market Analyst, Joshua Clements, and a top trading analyst John Hobbs,
as well as myself, who have many ideas to implement, in an effort to assist you in your individual and
EFX related trading endeavors.

Over the coming weeks and months, we will implement the following;

1) Bank Wire transfers.
2) Additional e-currency platforms as methods of payment and participation.
3) A progression chart that will show our gains and losses on a daily basis.
4) A ‘Top 20 Traders’ page displaying the highest deposits by EFX members along with their
EFX trading account investment choices, compounding and reinvestment selections, total withdrawals and overall gain.
5) A weekly Trading Newsletter designed to assist you in becoming an independent investor.
6) Personal trading accounts to allow you to utilize our brokers to place your personal or individual trades.
7) An upgrade to ‘Our Favorite Places’ allowing us to display ideas and suggestions on where to find
products and solutions for asset protection, offshore investing strategies, PC security, protecting your
‘way of life’ in the coming global recession and many more areas of assistance.

These are just a few of the ideas that you will see being implemented as we move forward in
becoming the top online investment program on the net!

You can clearly see that we are serious in our endeavors and will, if we are not already,
become a force to be reckoned with.

Thank you.

EFX Members,

I thought I would provide a quick update to reflect changes and additions to the program.

We have updated the members’ accounts to reflect sponsor’s information. Up to this point it has not been shown. A few members
asked us for it, and as there is no good reason not to provide the information, we decided to add it.

We also updated the login and keycode entry details to reflect whether the password, keycode or Captcha was wrong in case of an error.
If you receive an authentication error message you should now see what part of the process is initiating it.

We have added the ability to change compounding and reinvesting options on ‘Current’ or ‘Active’ investments.
This feature is available until the system begins to process payouts at which time it become unavailable. When the system completes
the payout process, the ability to edit active investments again becomes an option.
In the event you are unable to change these settings, simply wait a few minutes and try again.
Chances are the system is in the process of distributing profits.

We have added updates to the FAQ section to reflect changes. Scheduled Holidays were added last week. FAQ changes regarding the above mentioned issues have also been edited and added.

We also corrected an error in our script. We originally designed the script to provide a multi-tiered affiliate program. During our final approach to launch we decided to alter the affiliate program to its current state which is a single level 5% commission on new funds introduced.
Up until today, the affiliates posted in your member’s accounts were not just yours. They also reflected those of your down-line if it existed.

The error has been corrected, and the information now reflected in your affiliate section is accurate.

We would like to thank Paul from MNO for pointing out the affiliates’ discrepancy prior to large scale confusion. His diligence in
scrutinizing programs is what catapulted him to the top monitor status and has maintained him in that position to this date.

We will keep you informed of any changes as we make them. If you have any questions please utilize the service we provide via LIVE Support.
This is an open chat room style environment that also incorporates the ability to privately consult with support staff.
This support facility is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

We would also like to invite our members to assist us in increasing our forum activity. We have no expectations of heavy activity
after only one week online, but we would like to see it increase. There are many members that are extremely astute, and whose
assistance in answering posts and providing relevant content would be most welcomed.

We are moving full steam ahead.

We are attracting a huge amount of attention.

Progressing at a pace that is, most definitely, well ahead of expectations.

We would like to invite you to visit the Exotic Side of Forex!

Thank you

I've patiently waited to get in this program because I had to create a new LR account...totally secure and funded (my old one was hacked). It's almost done and I should be able to invest within 24 hours. I'm excited, to say the least.

I'll post my invest details within 24 hours so you can see :)
