Jacks, you make some good points. The number of NQ mini's to use could be calculated with a little research.....it's when to put the hedge on and take it off that makes it tough. You would have to monitor this trade by the hour as not to get caught with a big move. Trading in and out of the...

Jay, Is it true that in the new version of livecharts that we will no longer be able to have more than one chart window open at a time? I hope that this is not the case. This is a important feature for me. Carl
