Peter, As you say, its another tool and tools can be useful. For a while I used to try to imagine myself as other interested parties in a trade to try to determine their motivation. With all the options trading going on, short selling and covering, I think it becomes difficult to determine what is real and what is not. At least not on "average" days. I have gravitated towards using the chart alone to make my entry and exit decisions. I've found keeping it simple works pretty well. In that light, DCTM concerns me. It will need to start advancing soon or it will be "broken". On a fundamental basis, I remain concerned about high cost, high complexity EDMS product suites. I'm convinced simpler cheaper solutions will continue to gain market share. I admit I still don't know enough about their web application strategy to know if it is truly additive in the long run.
