Hey, you left out the smiley face! You cultists need to lighten up a bit. I was conceding that up to 100/500 of you may be profitable. :) Question is whether the good intentions of the few are really doing the other 400+ any good, and whether the profitability of the few has much to do with...

ET is a great place to hear all sides of an issue.

Hey, shut up about this! We want the 400+ fools to keep thinking they can make money using only CCI. :) (I'm sure Woodies intentions are good. So were Ponzi's.)

It's the FIRST TRADING DAY before the second friday of the expiration month. (Won't be a Thursday, if Thursday is a holiday.)

Same problem here, using latest and previous TWS versions.

Yes. Been using it for several weeks. (I plot this stuff, which is why I could easily see last week that it started differing systematically from values plotted by other data providers and charting programs.)

Well, the "once a day" approach to involvement with this thread is not working for me. It's still too much of a distraction, so I'm going to have to eliminate the stimulus. :) It would have been fun to post more of our meals and snacks, and have them picked apart, but would have also been way...

Such an open-minded guy. Back tomorrow. If the delinquents can control themselves, I'll post my revised pancakes and sausage breakfast recipe. Am interested in hearing all objections and suggestions with respect to the new recipe. As our president is fond of saying, "Bring it on!"

I've already explained this. It is definitely not just about calories. Calories only control weight, not whether you like what you're eating, or how you feel after you've finished eating, or the ratio of body muscle to fat. Lower-carb, higher-protein diets address all of these issues. The...

A YEAR to lose 25 pounds!? Gained 1/2 back in 5 years!? Hey, this is old-world dieting performance. You can do much better on one of the lower-carb, higher-protein diets.

Well, since you haven't actually found any of my inevitable, human errors, you obviously know even less than me about this subject, and apparently have little to contribute to this thread. You might try practicing more humility and inquisitiveness, and spend less time throwing stones. I won't...

The NASD TICK today (Monday) from IB was also off. The NYSE and NASD TICKs had been accurate for the last few weeks, so I guess they can't be far from getting this working.
