Hey Jim,

I recently finished a shoot-out comparo on Oddball between original ROC
code, plus combinations of three confirms, ADV/DEC ratio, VOL ADV/DEC ratio,
and TICK...

In using one confirm at a time, VOL ADV/DEC seemed a bit out of sync.
ADV/DEC ratio was OK. TICK was surprisingly decent. As for using
combinations of 2 or more, I found no real advantage over the long run.

Your milage may vary.

Best regards,

Gene Pope
