Harry; I do check the SP futures before the open, so will have to wait a bit for that. Sorry; not a subscriber to thestreet.com. Hope someone else.
The expo was a big meal! I was mainly at the tutorial sessions, but picked up on that scan, previously posted, as of interest. Also checking out interactivebrokers.com. There were a number of really pricey LCD multimonitor setups to press one's nose against (Tiffany's windows). Plus all of the usual suspects trying to get you plugged in to their proprietory webs of interdependent goodies, many of which will not work alone. Grrrr.
The Options tutorial was excellent; Larry McMillan. BUT he showed these wonderful composite charts plotting stock price & option volume which made it perfectly evident when something is afoot & of course, you can't plot these with your software. Nor, as far as I know, can you plot the ratio of up volume to down volume in a stock, or implied volatility. The put/call ratio for stock x can be done on optionsource.com, if you pay, but mostly not for the kind of stocks I buy. So, none of this is going to do me much good.
John Murphy was also terrific. (Unfortunately J. Bollinger was on at the same time, so I coudn't do both). Murphy suggested checking (plotting) the relative strength of sector/market eg SOX/COMPX, sector/sector eg SOX/DOT & stock/sector eg INTC/SOX. As a way of following sector rotation. Not sure how you do this either.
OT - Annie L. Very gifted. The show I found listed is at Houk; have never seen her nudes & that should be interesting, as she is sapphic. Might be more personal. I tend to like nudes that look like bodies really look & faces like faces really look :-) However also love the perfect ones; Edward Weston's nudes of his boy children & the incomparable Claris like a natural landscape in the natural landscape. Wow, anyway - does this mean you may be heading east? The only time us natives ever leave our computers is when out-of-towners let us know what's going on.
However 2 days at the Marriott Marquis were a visit to another planet <g>
