    Here is my first accounting on this thread of trading marketable on the NBBO. Purely lifting offers and hitting the bids on NBBO, in real-time. There are no production fills to the date of post #96 on this thread as I was posting hypothetical worst-case fills. I would NEVER lift 1400-wide markets. It was a proof of concept to show that you could trade at mkt on the COB and remain profitable.

    CUMPNL from a buy to open trade I made 30 minutes ago? Sounds reasonable.

    WTF are your blotters, asiaprop?

    volpunter/asiaprop has been threatening to get to my wife with allegations of "marital infidelity" for going on four years now... here's the public proof of the extortion on post 22 of the Oanda API thread:

    http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index...-php-api-interface.285837/page-3#post-4014998

    There was no "ET meet" in San Francisco. My buddy Matt was contacted by asiaprop/volpunter via PM and Matt gave the tool a story that I was cheating. volpunter wasted no time in attempting to extort. "atticus the asshole" was the title of the PMs. I have all of them archived. Matt is a personal friend and coworker.

    Getting back to tacks... The first accounting showed a 100% gain by lifting offers on the COB. I challenge anyone here to attempt it and produce half of that performance in the same duration.
