I wish the slider bars for size, transparency and clustering had some number associated with it … it’s a pain to adjust them chart to chart while being blind to the numbers involved.

Only 16 videos available in Marta Altesa’s channel, but they’re all great. She’s from Barcelona.
Bookmap Features Wish List Number 02
I wish that you didn’t have to change the drawing style for every separate chart you have open. It would be better if the drawing style you selected simply applied to all open charts. It’s onerous to change the drawing style to your preference chart by chart when you have half a dozen or more charts open.

Movies Watched -- Grey Gardens (1975)
95 minute running time … I loved the Maysles brothers’ documentary, “Salesman,” so I thought I’d like Grey Gardens, but I didn’t. There’s not enough comedy to lighten the tragedy of the story … it’s really a mental health story in the end, and a sad one. The mother had a sharp mind, but also a sharp tongue, and a good sense of humor — she wasn’t as sick as her poor daughter. I’m not upset that I watched it, but I wouldn’t recommend it, and it doesn’t make my top list of course.
I've never had five minutes' fun
Movies Watched -- The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
112 minute running time … maybe it could have been tightened up a bit, but this was unhurried, and I loved it. Definitely a Top 500, green-go movie. W.R. Burnett story combined with John Huston direction (and writing). Good story, good writing, good acting, that rare combination that makes a classic movie. “One way or another, we all work for our vice.“

Movies Watched -- Force of Evil (1948)
79 minute running time … the language in this was special, the writing… really high flown and delivered at a rapid clip … an unusual noir, sure it’s about corruption and greed and morality, but it’s filled with strangely extravagant dialogue … nice to see Miss Utah (Marie Windsor) again, though a minor role for her. I have to recommend this for the amazing writing alone, and it’s sad to think that Polonsky never directed another movie (blacklisted) for decades afterwards. Also a John Farr recommendation. Green go.
If I ever thought of loving you, It was to love something rotten and corrupt in myself.
LULD
From this Frequently Asked Questions pdf:
“The Limit Up-Limit Down (LULD) mechanism is intended to prevent trades in National Market System (NMS) securities from occurring outside of specified price bands. The bands would be set at a percentage level above and below the average reference price of the security over the immediately preceding five-minute period. The reference price will be the arithmetic mean price of eligible reported transactions over the past 5 minutes.“
“The Processors (UTP/SIAC) for each NMS stock shall calculate and disseminate to the public a Lower Price Band and an Upper Price Band.“
“The functionality … will apply beginning from 9:30 a.m. ET and end at 4:00 p.m. ET each trading day, except in cases of an early scheduled close.“
“Effectively, the band percentage changes based on the time of day and differs according to the price of the stocks.”
Late Trade Reporting
There’s often a flurry of pre-market trades that get reported at 8AM causing a lot of funky bars that look like “bad tick” bars … this is how those trades appear in Bookmap:

Most Popular Cameras in the Flickr Community
I looked at the Flickr Camera Finder page for the first time in forever and was surprised to see that the most popular “cameras” are all iPhones. Of course I shouldn’t be surprised, even I threw in the towel and started posting iPhone photos to my Flickr, though I did hold out for several years at first.
