Pitiful! I'm sure a lot of people are affected.

How long do you have to hold it to get the dividend?

The petition will be sent to TD Ameritrade tomorrow, Thursday. 
TD Ameritrade, Don't Phase Out QuoteTracker:

Please read my post in the Off Topic thread.

I just spoke at length to two TD Ameritrade reps. They are indeed phasing out QuoteTracker, but said the draw down date isn't finalized. Both admitted that part of the problem is that "many" traders still use QuoteTracker.

I've been using QuoteTracker for over 10 years and the ThinkorSwim platform for about 2 years. I use them daily, side by side. In my opinion, many things about QuoteTracker are still superior to ThinkorSwim, and I really don't want to see QT phased out.

I've started a petition to see if we can influence TDA to keep QuoteTracker up and running:

because it was "less likely".

I'm trying to remember - how old is she now?

Saw a rumor posted that they were downgraded.  Who knows?

"Buy on Yom Kippur" (Fri Oct 7)

"Sell on Rosh Hashanah, Buy on Yom Kippur"?   Rosh Hashanah starts Wed pm.

But here's a write-up today by Carl Futia:

For those of you who trade the unallocated "pool" metals through Kitco... here's something you should be aware of:

FYI, just noticed that stockcharts.com is running a Spring Special that ends today, May 31. http://stockcharts.com

Adorable!

Got it. Thanks yojimbo.

Hmmm... maybe I'm not reading this correctly???

The majority of those who responded to Matt's question would rather risk losing $151,000 in potential profit ($603,000-452,000) in order to assure that a 0.89% gain (what the SPY was up today) on 1 trade (that might happen every 16 years) is captured.

What am I missing here?

If the current signal only happened ONE time in 16 years (during OpEx week BTW), I say leave the System as it is.  I like the total net profit of $603K, the profit factor $26, and the total number of trades about 260.
