Triple Bottom, What would a Triple Bottom suggest to you, Chip? I never really believed in them myself. At least, I have not for the last few years anyway.

Yeah, it was a nice move today and we got on board for some of it. When you trade the big S&P contract, do you trade electronically? If so do you ever have experiences like this, which was posted to our web site today? " 01:57 pm PST - hope1: FG, i had a 3pts slippage on spoos today when cubs was down. at 1:55 ct sp traded at 36.20 - 37, i sent in a buy not knowing cubs was down, the fill confirm came back at 3:08 ct and the fill was 1240. Could not do a thing about it cuz it was a fast market. I know someone was holding it back and filled it to his most advantage. 02:00 pm PST - hope1: electronic trading for spoos has been a disappointing experience. perhaps e-mini is better if one knows how to do it. i need thermo to tell me how he has done it and avoided all the unfortunate spikes in the minis. but he is nowhere to be found." Personally I have always used the telephone but have used Lind Online Direct for a week testing out their online interface using emini, which was fine...I'm almost afraid to try it on the big S&P when I hear stories like this...
