  2. They're still holding to later this month for the options on futures. They just released a small update over the weekend that added more futures products as well as some options backtesting, etc.

  3. they said in two weeks.... "hopefully"

    .....could anyone help me modify this ....
    .... i want to make standard deviation channel ... using linear regression trendline..... thanks

    ....

    input price = close;

    input displace = 0;

    input length = 20;

    input Num_Dev_Dn = -2.0;
    input Num_Dev_up = 2.0;

    def stlin = reference linearregtrendline;

    def sDev =
    stdev(data = stlin[-displace], length = length);

    plot midline = stlin;

    plot LowerBand = MidLine + num_Dev_Dn * sDev;

    plot UpperBand = MidLine + num_Dev_Up * sDev;

    LowerBand.setDefaultColor(GetColor(0));
    MidLine.setDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
    UpperBand.setDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

  9. No update this weekend. It appears it will be pushed back again.
    Not suprising since it is supposed to be a major update to also include non-third party auto-trading.

    I received an E-mail from them on Friday: The schedule has been pushed back for one week. Since they have not decided on the commissions, I won't be surprised, if I get a similar E-mail next week.:(
