I like TC2000, but don't use it because it doesn't have level 2 data

PDT is a U.S law, it doesn't apply in Canada. you can day trade the U.S market from Canada, no problem.

Try Finviz.com. It's pretty good, but the interface is very busy. Click on "Screener" at the top, then "Custom" in the middle of the buttons that appear at the top. You can then play with "Filters" and "Settings" in the top right corner to get the screen that you want. You can set "Country"...

I've used stockcharts, and I'm pretty sure that you can enter multiple symbols at once into a watchlist. I specifically remember using that function. Take a look at it again. What I couldn't stand about stockcharts was that if you wanted to draw a trendline or do any annotation you had to...

another java based online chart is at www.prorealtime.com. it's free for end-of-day, a little pricey for real time. I really like the way their charts look. check it out.

FYI STS isn't operating any more. Their website is still there, but everything has been moved to: www.optionsanimal.com

A good program is BB Flashback from Blueberry Software. They also have a free version called BB Flashback Express, and a Standard edition. www.bbsoftware.co.uk

Hi Emintrader, Thanks for sharing your interesting system with us! I have a simple question I hope you can answer. Is there a time of day after which you would not place a trade? For example, if a stock hits the buy entry price 5 minutes before the close, I assume that you would not...

I just talked to the receiver last week. The holdup on the second payment has been that Penson and another creditor were contesting the receiver's plans. The "good news" is that the receiver has settled with one, and is close to settlement with the other. The receiver said that they have...

Questrade has an RRSP in $U.S. I know it's not IB, but it is a trading RRSP alternative ...

Thanks for starting this thread - funny, I just today asked Questrade for the 10,000th time about their "plans" to upgrade their platforms - which they said they would do last year when Cybertrader was dropped. As usual, nothing happening, and I've totally given up. I'm about to open an...

I suggest you check out BB FlashBack from Blueberry Software, at http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/Home.aspx I use the basic version, BB FlashBack Express, and think it's pretty good.

Joe, You probably know this already, but there is that guy in Australia who does AFL programming. He is linked on the Amibroker site: www.aflwriting.com. I imagine that he would talk on the phone if you pay his hourly rate. Good luck ...

Swingtrader, Thanks for the detailed comments on your experience with Ensign. I was wondering if one of the programs you evaluated was Amibroker, and if so what was your impression of it. I am aware that one major difference in terms of support is that Amibroker offers only email...

Here are some suggestions: - Stockcharts.com charts are nice to look at, but I also found them very slow to go through. - I have tried Quotetracker several times. While many people like it and it has it's benefits, I could never get it to look the way I liked, and I found it awkward to...
