I'm sorry, but USB was a classic breakout from the opening, as opposed to RTM from 3 std dev... what am I missing????

How soon before Cyborg can be used with Interactive Brokers? Also, what is the max number of stocks that meet a trading criteria/algo that can be automatically traded at the same time? Last one... I assume that it has the "stop & reverse" capabilities if desired, right? thanks, Walter

Congrats on your performance, Lescor... The more impressive part was that you traded 1.1 million shares. Considering you mentioned that you trade many lower liquidity stocks and do not trade more than a few thousand shares per stock per trade, I imagine that most of those 1.1. million shares...

Considering the s&p futures closed at 1107.50 on Friday, but is up to 1135.25 at this moment, do you think the nearly $1 trillion EU & IMF bailout will boost the market up to 1200 within the next 30 days??? Walt
