Do you know this for sure? When I was talking with George as he was coding it, he was using the DPM model.  (Of course, the differences are subtle and essentially invisible to average users.) Hi, Chris.

Do you know this for sure?

When I was talking with George as he was coding it, he was using the DPM model.  (Of course, the differences are subtle and essentially invisible to average users.)

Though I'd like to point out that Askmarkets uses DPM instead of MSR... at least the last time I checked.
