I could not find it in Mathematica so I am switching to R, which definitely has it......
It's a little out of date but the chart at http://zerohedge.blogspot.com/2009/05/guest-post-green-shoots-and-glimmers-of.html may give some...
I do not think he was referring to you but rather to the article someone posted.....
Right and the original poster could have (hopefully did) made some good money in the ETF if he was long recently, even if not as much as he would...
What I am saying is that the ETF (or anyone else) will get a lousy fill when they enter a massive roll order. (Of course they try to space it out...

I believe it is an S.E.C. restriction. There are lots of things we cannot do because we are U.S. residents and are "protected" by the S.E.C....
In futures, you used to be able to mark a limit order that could be filled immediately with the phrase "OR BETTER" to avoid anyone's thinking...
One can call IB 24 hours - just call the overseas numbers on the web site. Hong Kong office has always been helpful to me. They can handle...
Mathernatica seems to have it also. Mathematica home edition now costs only $295.
