How do you like Interactive Brokers? They appear to be pretty solid, but also appear to be pretty costly. Thanks for your opinion, Ed in Columbus, OH --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, "ozzyapeman" wrote: > Ok, well I use AB for autotrading FX. So far AB is my main tool, > and Interactive Broke

Genius does not imply great world shattering results. Only that the genius has far above average creative or intellectual abilities. He may choose to apply those abilities in any area, or on none, or squander them in selfish pursuits if he/she chooses. For an intellectual genius the norm

My dictionary says a genius is a person with EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT creative or intellectual powers i.e. something more than just great. IMO we use the word far too readily in modern society ... I reserve it for someone who makes a mark on the World stage, like Da Vinci, Einstein. Mozart etc. I
