I don't think this is true (plaintext part), maybe they are doing some custom encryption for snoopy corporate firewalls.

- tialaramex 6y agoVery doubtful. Traders tend to prize speed over all other considerations, and so I'm sure at some point somebody with a Pentium running Windows 95 said this would be faster without SSL. And it really would be (on a sufficiently crappy machine, and assuming you're doing HTTP/1.1) but most of us have long since reasoned that "faster but now I don't have any security" is a bad trade and also meanwhile faster encrypted-only alternatives emerged. They've got a custom OTP setup which they've revised at least twice already, but as with this Clubhouse thing if you transmit your OTP as plaintext over unencrypted channels obviously a bad guy can intercept that. So basically that SSL box ought to be removed (in favour of always doing TLS) or at the very least default checked.
