<<Merrill Sees Lower Quarterly Revenues Wed Sep 4, 2:53 PM ET>> After what they pulled they shouldn't even be back up and running yet. As if 100 million and no admission of wrong doing is enough. Anyone still doing business with that organization should move their account. We can't complain about corruption and then reward companies who played a role.

Thanks, hopefully I am on the right track. BTW I have been using TradeStation. It has been very educational backtesting. I created a system for daytrading that would have produced fantastic results for the past 2 months. Worked very good for the past year. However when I ran it for a period about 2 years ago, the same system steadily lost money for a year. Overall, for over 1000 trades for over 4 years, the system had wild swings on many stocks. I considered the system useless. Interesting how a day trading system could work for awhile and then not work at all. It would be one thing if it got 3 right and 2 wrong, but instead it would get 60 right and then 60 wrong. The method used a fast stochastic over 30 min bars, also tested on 10 min bars, and tested with modest targets. Tested with AMGN, UPS, MSFT, IBM, AMZN.
