This thread is becoming more and more intersting! Keep going, please.

That's very easy: Interactive Brokers offers this (and a lot more markets). http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/main.php

I Actually quite like it in the Winter (having 3 PC's and 6 Monitors plus one TV in my small trading room). But it's hell in Summer (have installed an AC but its not enough to drop the temp significantly).

I think that if you used QT before, that you should drop IB-charts immediately...(else, you will stay very disappointed).

LOL. No doubt: you will graduate on this matter on that University of Hardknocks, soon.

Years ago they had one release every 2 or 3 weeks..now a days its about 1 every month...I think it would be best to take 2 weeks more for rigorously testing TWS, and its API.

Good point !

Even worse: it drove those small traders to much dangerous markets: like Futures and Forex (for which those rules doesn't apply).

Hmmm..... but if that would be true, then they aren't counted for full in the "jobless claims" for which the OP started this thread.

That's BS, they have minimum-wages by law (don't know how much though).

It depends on the input-parameters of your strategy. If other instruments are involved (like Dollar-index, Oil, Bonds or what ever), it will not work (or as a contra indicator).

Ahh..ok, let's wait on the OP

No Indicators needed at all...just price-chart lines:

100 % agree. Especially: be willing to adapt to the ever changing market.

No Indicators for me. Only price-charts with trendlines, and S/R-lines (actually I draw lines between every top and bottom).
