Eugene, I have checked the port, they match. I don't see the watermark. I'll fiddle around myself and see if I've overlooked something, then retry on Monday. Thanks for the help. I wasn't really looking for help with strategies, just curious to know if there was more example code hidden somewhere out there. If not, that's /completely/ understandable. If I want to discuss strategies where would I go? Any advice is, as always, invaluable.
