I can help with that answer, as Lightspeed Trader had to do the same. When MS stop supporting Win-XP, they stopped protecting that OS from attacks with updates. We have a regulatory responsibility that we could no longer meet with our software if it were to run on any OS that is no longer...

I may not make it either. Something else came up. I see you are in Brooklyn. Next time you are in Manhattan, stop by. cheers...bob

That is what they do.

I suggest you contact a firm like Gainskeeper. They will upload all your activity and produce a report for your taxes. You then write a letter explaining why they are different from the 1099. http://www.gainskeeper.com/ Good luck...Bob

How can you use OI to determine stock movement? EG. OI in a stock without active options, 100, than 5000 on the 25 call with the stock 23. How do you know if the person that initiated the trade, bought them or sold them? Would you then expect the stock to go up or down? If you have a better...
