Has TL Been Sold or Just New Admin?

Sorry if I missed any updates on this, but in this post it appears we have a new admin around. Any updates that can be shared?

And doesn't TL update its mods (part-time or otherwise) as to what's going on?

Since James put TL up for sale, I think he hasn't been around as much. So when you say 'TL' it's really just James. Any updates that I've seen were posted here but I do not see them anymore.

Re: Has TL Been Sold or Just New Admin?

I apologize for the delay. My wife gave birth yesterday to a baby girl so have been busy and away recently. TL has switched ownership and a new team has been in effective since late April.

TL has been one of the greatest and most valuable experiences for me. I have the utmost respect for the TL community and believe it has done a tremendous job providing value to the trading community. Running TL alone, I have had my limitations mainly due to time restraints from trading and other business endeavors, TL deserves a proper dedicated team that can preserve the community and also take the site to the next level. I believe the current new team are the right one for this task.

I thank you all for years of support. We have many leaders here on TL which I am very happy to see and do wish the best to everyone in their trading endeavors, Although I will be stepping down from community management, I plan to be a more active member now that I wont be receiving admin privileges

Regards,

James Lee
Founder of TradersLaboratory.com

Re: Has TL Been Sold or Just New Admin?

Thanks for all you've done James! Been a fun and crazy run we had under your leadership.

Will we get an official introduction from the new site owners and some background info? I personally would like to know who will be behind the site now and what their plans are going forward.

Thanks!

Re: Has TL Been Sold or Just New Admin?

Hello all.

I will be one of the admins and new owners and am proud to be continuing what James started. Even better, James intends to remain engaged with the community which is great.

With that said, we really want to keep carrying out the mission of the website. We're not planning any major changes since what James has built is working well, but we're always open to new ideas and suggestions to make this community better for all of you.

That's why we're here after all. This is about a sense of place and home where active traders can share and learn. Maybe even have a little fun or blow off a bit of steam after a particularly rough day in the market, or have a circle of friends to share a success.

Please, by all means, ideas and suggestions are great. We need to keep growing the site, the more posters and readers we have the better it becomes for everyone's experience. Please continue to help us spread the word and make this "THE" place for sophisticated traders to hang out.

As for my background, I've been trading actively over 10 years. Forex, futures and stock. Mostly futures now, with a dash of forex thrown in. Stock trades I haven't had as much time for but do have some long term holdings. I do daytrade, and of late have been doing more automated trading but for the most part I'm a system based discretionary trader. I have a few partners as well who will share the responsibility of running the site with me and we each have our own experiences we'll try to bring to TL.

If there's anything I can do please let me know. Your support up to this point is greatly appreciated and I know it's important to James that we keep TL growing and on its mission.

Thanks!
