You can't go wrong with Trade-Ideas. It's a mature product that I've used for years now. Great support and they add new features all the time. It's paid for itself many times over. Trade-Ideas

There's actually a free version of StockTickr's trading journal that does most of what you've listed. Here's what's available in each version: http://www.stocktickr.com/docs/signup/

When Delphi 2007 imports the SterlingLib COM object, it seems to import successfully, but it doesn't import the structQuoteSnap type correctly. The app compiles ok with the imported TLB.pas file, but I get a runtime error of: "Invalid Variant Operation" when I try to access the...

200 transactions per minute not second. And that's the very high end. I'll look around for another quote provider perhaps. Also, would it matter that I'm instantiating a new STIQuote object for each signal? Anyone think it will help to use the same quote object across signals?

I've written an app that uses Sterling to trade. It's written in Delphi and trades fairly frequently - say 200 trades a minute. We're consistently having problems with Sterling Trader staying up and running. The app generates a signal to trade a symbol, uses STIQuote to get a quote, then...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a .NET API that can be used to create a FIX client application?

I've been using Trade-Ideas for years now. Great bunch of people there - support is great and they roll out a steady stream of new features. I couldn't trade without it now. I use it for manual and automated trading. Well worth it IMHO.

I mean "This application will shut down". I've actually restructured my program a bit and it seems to have helped. However, I still get crashes on XP, but Vista is essentially crash free. It seems to be related to the frequency of the trades, but I can't say that for sure. Do most apps...

I'm developing a trading app which is most of the way done. The problem is Sterling Pro crashes without warning. Initially Sterling support was helpful back in the early stages of development, but since I started asking about the crashes I hear nothing but crickets from them. Any idea how...

Take a look at StockTickr - you can bulk import your trades and StockTickr will generate charts with your entry, exit, and stop plotted on the chart. There are dozens of reports that show you exactly what you're looking for. There's also a backtester that you can use to simulate different...
