How can something in plain sight be hidden? The proverbial "bottom line" is actually given on the bottom line of the statement. If you can't see the huge negative OTE you shouldn't have a futures account. If you knew what you were doing you would never go near Alaron.

The other stock was C. It was up and down on the day on 04/13 with a volume of 595 million shares. Move 595 million shares from up volume to down volume and back again to see what it does to the TRIN calculation.
