Jerry, I am pumped about Medved Trader ... can't wait to get a shot at being on your Beta Team! Question: Quite some time ago, as a Schwab Customer, I was able to use them as a data source for QT. I suspect that the TD deal may have been the issue, but for whatever reason it became...

I thought that sounded fishy... but I guess I just didn't question it or dig deep enough in IB's info. Thank you for the assist!! T

I am looking to pull in the spot price for the Greenback for a system I am experimenting with. DTN wants $60 plus a NYBOT $60 exch fee to add real time Spot. Can anyone recommend an alternative/substitute to get the price down? If my system would turn out to fire on all cylinders I will...

My daughter wanted a Mac since all her buddies at her college music school had them so I thought I would go look up the Apple site and get her one. I always had very good success in the Wintel enviro, but I thought why not try something new? ...learn something new. Well, I hit their home page...

Can you give us a feel for the improvement of the quad over the dual? I use TWS with Amibroker slurping data out of the backend. It works pretty well so far...but I am thinking about upgrading and adding a few more futures symbols and extra displays. Are you running more than two screens...

Qcharts and Esig were a bit pricey when compared against DTNIQ. $85+ compared to $50/month to AMI Broker users (exch fees are separate for both). DTN has the TSX included in that price. The $420/year saved would pay for the computer tower replacement every 4 yr. I ran DTN on demo a couple...

Good point Tom...tnx for the reply.... Looking for stocks...weekly at a minimum ....by the session would be great. Currencies would be my next pick. Pi Trading data looks good at first glance...I expect the 800 stocks they carry are probably exactly the price/volume runners I am looking...

I need 90 days worth of 5 minute data (ongoing basis) to backtest a new system I am working on. US AND Canada would really fill the bill, but I can get by now with just the US data. I have been searching the net ... but I just find el cheapos that don't really have the full depth or the...

I should have thought of that...cool....I just checked the chart and agree...I will pass that along to my friend. What is the likelyhood that the Looney will hit parity with the Greenback? I appreciate the group comments....
