I guess Google decided I wanted to read about "Karen the Supertrader" -- does anyone know the name of the fund or the person? I did not see a claim to turning $10K into $40M and I've not seen or heard the mistruths -- has someone compiled examples of where the interviews on tastytrade gave...

I trust you've since found the solution to the trend line decorations you're describing. If not, I'm curious to know what you're trying to do and I'm pretty sure the language, thinkScript has come a long way since you received this "practically impossible" opinion. Also, which "founder" of...

I've used data from genesis financial, which is clean and reasonably bug free. http://www.tradenavigator.com/ I've heard negatives about working with the company, so caveat emptor, but their trading platform is stock oriented and I assume you want options historical prices beyond what you find...
