ThinkMoney by TD isn't bad, especially how it pertains to options. Only downfall that it's a quarterly release.

Nice bit of digging you have done. I guess they live by the motto "whatever works". No wonder why I made money when I shorted them a few weeks back.

This is my situation exactly. I cannot attest to the efficiency of adaptive algo for limit orders ect. I have only used the adaptive market (patient) on a few of my algorithms which require speed of fill, rather than efficiency of fill as in entry.

No, I have not. Thanks for the suggestion.

I suppose its being patiently impatient. The patient setting only means that the algo scans longer for a better fill but, in most cases it fills in under 2 sec anyways, and that is depending on size and liquidity.

Using adaptive algo on the patient setting with market orders fills better than a regular market order in general. On open, most orders with the patient setting will fill in under 10 seconds if there is adequate liquidity.
