Bruce, Thank you 'so much' for your insight to tradestation/BMI data feed. I feel I would end up (like you) finding that it is just to much to maintain. I'm looking for something very simple (to keep up) so I can concentrate on trading. Data base maintenance and multiple programs (GET/TradeStation) is just more than I want to do. GET is great for me as a standalone.. I looked at interQuote and find it very reasonable.. But because I like to trade in options (and PC Quote gives me option chains) I must stick with my provider of RT quotes. It is more expensive but gives me the data I need.. It is amazing what is becoming available over the Internet at such reasonable costs!! If others are interested InterQuote is at: interquote.com Sorry about the ABX chart! You must have seen the pictures of Phuket Island in Thailand.. My home away from home. <G> My web pages change like the wind! Here is the ABX chart: teleport.com (Sorry but this will probably disappear in a couple of days) This is a short term trade for me. I see lots of resistance in the $20.00/$21.00 area. I believe this move is EW5 (short term) (EW3 longer term?) PTI is below 36.. Though, I always check the PTI from EW0 (using PTI tool) to see what the calculation would be. I don't always agree with GET's choice of EW2's. In this case it is over 60.. Anyway thank you for sharing your experiences with BMI/TradeStation. That is very helpful.. Ross. PS. A little humor.. THE LITTLE OLD LADY AND THE BET A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day, carrying a bag of money. She insisted that she must speak with the president of the bank to open a savings account because, It's a lot of money! After much hemming and hawing, the bank staff finally ushered her into the president's office (the customer is always right!). The bank president then asked her how much she would like to deposit. She replied, $165,000! and dumped the cash out of her bag onto his desk. The president was of course curious as to how she came by all this cash, so he asked her, "Ma'am, I'm surprised you're carrying so much cash around. Where did you get this money?" The old lady replied, I make bets. The president then asked, Bets? What kind of bets? the old woman said, Well, for example, I'll bet you $25,000 that your balls are square. Ha, laughed the president, That's a stupid bet. You can never win that kind of bet! The old lady challenged, So, would you like to take my bet? Sure, said the president, I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not square! The little old lady then said, Okay, but since there is a lot of money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10:00am as a witness? Sure! replied the confident president. That night, the president got very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his balls, turning from side to side, again and again. He thoroughly checked them out until he as sure that there was absolutely no way his balls were square and that he would win the bet. The next morning, at precisely 10:00 am, the little old lady appeared with her lawyer at the president's office. She introduced the lawyer to the president and repeated the bet: $25,000 says the president's balls are square! The president agreed with the bet again and the old lady asked him to drop his pants so they could all see. The president complied. The little old lady peered closely at his balls and then asked if she could feel them. Well, Okay, said the president, $25,000 is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely sure. Just then, he noticed that the lawyer was quietly banging his head against the wall. The president asked the old lady, What the hell's the matter with your lawyer? She replied, Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at 10:00 am today, I'd have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand.
