I had two occasions this weekto talk to IB, and both times was told that the return to single click is not imminent. But I found this AutoHotkey program, which can copy and then repeat the 'click on BT Button, and click on Confirmation button' sequence, with the keyboard hotkey of your...

My buttons are under the Quote Panel and above the ladder. I did not know there was a choice. davez

Thanks for the reply, Pescador. Buttons in BT is what I've used for years (though sometimes BT hotkeys) but for months now those buttons (and BT hotkeys) trigger the popup confirmation window. In my buttons setup, I did before and still do have the 'instant order execution' box checked, but...

Your idea would be ideal, dont. In the order confirmation popup, the default button is 'Cancel'. So when that popup is open, keying 'enter' would cancel the order. I suggested to IB that they make the 'Transmit' button the default, then with one hand on the keyboard, and one on the mouse I...

Your comment about getting the hang of the new program and design hits the nail on the head. A trader (a day trader especially) uses a system that has been developed and improved over many years, and part of that system is how the trader interacts with his software. How can a trader stay 'in...

This topic went in another direction, but I did get an answer to my original question. The simultaneous high/low-of-day alerts will not be fixed in the current release. Apparently that feature hasn't been added to the new release yet, but presumably will be working then (now early next year)...

Every single day, at about 70 minutes after the Open, my high-of-day and low-of-day alerts trigger TOGETHER for every index symbol ($xxx) I watch in eSignal. Obvioulsy both the HOD and LOD prices are not being hit at the same time. I reported this last January. eSignal acknowledged it was...

Hello Jay, Would you recommend this release for active day trading (are some of the 'known issues' related to essential functions), or would you suggest waiting for the next release for trading? Thanks Dave

Hey Spup A few issues that I have with eSignal ( in each case not a TradeSation issue). 1. eSignal can not presently end the data flow on 60 minute charts at 4:00 EST. The first 30 minutes of after-market data is included (to make the full hour). I cursed this issue again this morning as...

Comparing eSignal to your TS likes: - color coded links - yes, eSignal has this - if by customizable quote lines you mean like RadarScreen, no, eSignal does not have this, and does not seem to have it high on the priority list - multiple tabs (like TS workspaces), eSignal will have this for...

My gut feel would be that if your video cards can handle 10.5, then they should handle V.11 even better since I think some of the video processing occurs in the main CPU (in addition to the graphics card processor), hence better cause of multi-thread design. But I'm not an expert, so I hope...

I guess it depends how you look at it. Is V 11 ahead of its time, or long overdo? If the latter, then requests for features that most other trading software already have is enntirely justified. If the former, I agree that requests for new 'frills' are not so justified.

Hello Jay, Please remember to also include a HotKey for resetting Global (Daily High/Low Price) Alerts, as opposed to the 10+ keypresses needed now. Thanks davez

Hey Jay, As you know, in the eSignal forum I asked once again if eSignal charts will now be able to end at 4:00 pm (instead of also including the first 30 minutes of after-market data). Again the answer was no, with no firm plans to fix this. I've asked for this fix from eSignal every few...
