Ok, first off I'm no native english speaking so that's why my grammar and spelling for sure isn't the best. Weird how americans often criticize the language skills of foreigners but at the same time hardly have any foreign language skills at all? 2nd yes I am trading but also doing website...

ECHOPro = Sterling

Correct me if I'm wrong but eSignal itself has no API. However an API for TurboFeed (basically the quote client esignal utilizes) is available but costs quite some money

normally the s7 will expire after 2 years not being registered with a firm

Hi, normally I wouldn't care to reply on such a biased thread but I've just been out and had a few beers so I hope you won't care if I give my 0.02cents. Beyond any doubt Echo provides a good "climate" for traders, they have structure and professionalism as foundation. But (I speak of 1 year...

are you using Sun's or Microsoft's Java VM?

nonsense, what you are referring to is called TCPA and is not yet activated on toaday's os's. None of your applications will get shut down or resitricted in any way if your system is pirated Also nonsense

A thread is a sequence of things which are done in order - the way most "traditional" programs operate. A thread executes its program code statement by statement, in the way we all expect it to. However, if a system has many threads running, one thread may be suspended and execution switched to...

excuse me ... but please point me to where i wrote that they need any type of licence??? I said for the company it's a totally different deal. The trader puts no money down, etc. That's why the structure differs from a retail account where the trade contributes an initial contribution. and...

i think you guys are mixing up a few things. From the example above, this was for a normal retail account with 1k$ margin per contract and 2k$ initial contribution. Pure prop futures business has a completely different structure. These guys mostly get a salary, extremely low commissions but...

just to clarify a few things. The 8$ roundturn was for 2000$ account with a risk manager watching over the trades. GreenTree also has normal retail accs with low margin and 4$ roundturn. Additionally they're setting up pure prop futures operation trading in NY and SF with commish down to...

sakimonohito: The quote you was given is meant for a roundturn trade. As far as i know that's the basic commission fee they give to traders from whom they not know how good they trade, how many trades a day they take and they only provide a very little initial cash contribution. Actually...

ARCA: http://www.tradearca.com/ not sure whether there's also a free feed for instinet available.. their site is www.instinet.com

well, interesting approach ... but they miss the actual probabilities.. so I think this hardly will work out.. because the 10th trade can as well be a loser REMARK: afterall it has a chance of 50% to be a winner .. nothing more nothing less.

You shouldn't bet on the following .. let's say you have 10 consecutive losses with your trades..... because the probability of 11 consecutive losses is so small you load up all your money and go long. But now you missed the probability for the trade to be a winner is still only 50% .. and...

hehe, actually yes... but getting the chance for a SERIES of 11 consecutive heads is 0,048%

just some simple stochastics... each unique toss has a probability of 50% for each side. But as soon as you see the whole thing in a series you have to multiply all the events: 0,5^10 = 0,098% but the probability for the 11th toss to land on e.g. head is again 50% BUT the chance to get a...

I found this one in eSignal's Terms of Service: 16.0 Ownership of Information; Retransmission and Redistribution of Data Unless otherwise noted, all right, title and interest in the Information and the Services, in all languages, formats and media throughout the world, including all...

i meant for a scalper in total not per trade

hmm, how the data feed company could evidence you that you're redistributing their data is their problem and they'll probably do hard =) but i saw it from the side whether it's legal or not and imho the data should be still "copyrighted" by the data supplier
