what do you want with this empty row

\bTR %% ROW 1
> \bTD


delete this \bTD, there is the \eTD missing and it created a 9th column

\bTD[nc=2,nr=3]  BUY SIGNAL  \eTD
> \bTD [nc=2 nr=3]   SELL SIGNAL  \eTD
> \bTD [nr=3]   \eTD
> \bTD  [nr=3]\$100,000  \eTD
> \bTD  [nc=2,nr=3]FULLY INVESTED AT ALL TIMES (BUY \& HOLD)  \eTD


if you need a different height for your second row use the table parameters
\setupTABLE[r][2][height=xxx] or in the second row diretly
\bTR[height=xxx] \bTD ... \eTD \eTR

\eTR

you can use long examples with lots of dummy rows in the following way

\bTABLE
\dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD text \eTD\eTR}
\eTABLE
