Just me who thinks NQ is VERY jumpy today. My chart cannot keep up with trading "ladder"

Hi Jimbo It sounds like you adapt to every day market conditions. The market change every day but you seem to be on the right side most of the time. Good job.

The charts are real time but the scanning and quotepage are delayed. So the candlesticks are real time. You can use this while you learn to trade.

I use it on mac and works fine so not sure whats wrong. Can you be more specific? Otherwise try calling them.

If you are new to trading. Use free software like thinkorswim and papertrade (meaning use simulator)

If its for a hobby then I suggest using ThinkOrSwim demo. It is 100% free. The charts are real time but quote page is delayed.

Try Stockfinder at Worden. I believe you can do it in this software. But try asking them. They have great customer service.

Thanks for all the replies....

You guys who trade oil. Do you have a a 24 hour chart or are you only using US opening hours or perhaps tick charts? TIA

Try www.morningstar.com

I am interested too

Thanks for all your replies. Appreciate it. I can definitely feel that ToS is not the best for scalping. Its not that I only scalp for a few tick but I do use tick chart for entering trades and if I get filled 1-2 tick later because of slow print of bars then its not worth saving money on...

Hi ThinkOrSwim users. I have read many complains about the lagging/slow data on ToS. I have tried their demo and can see that its a little slower than my IB. Especially during fast movement in the market. I was wondering if its the same on a real account? 1 or 2 tick bad fill can cost a lot...

I dont use them myself but Interactive Brokers, Think Or Swim and Etrade has iPhone/iPad. I use ToS and IB on Mac and they are really good.
