    coops, QQL works fine across 2 monitors with one workspace (you can't open 2 workspaces at once - I wish you could) I have one those 'fancy dual monitor cards' (Matrox G450) and it's fine with QQL before you can drag a chart to the second monitor, you first must either maximize or drag the...

    Who are the Market Players?

    thanks to all who have replied so far... Htrader, it's not that i am worried about the MM's. I just want to know more about them. In fact it often occurs to me that in every transaction, one person loses and one person wins. Especially when I am on the winning side of a trade I wonder about...

    Who are the Market Players?

    What percentage of the market are independent day/swing traders? Who comprises the rest of the field? When a stock gaps-up on news or an upgrade, who is buying at 9:30? Not the day-traders...every book we have read teaches us to prepare to short that irrational morning rise. And who...

    I received this email message 8/10: "Hello Roger: Thanks for the additional information. You are right, the bug is on this end and development is working on it. Thanks Steve, Quicken Quotes Live Support. " This was the result of several emails where I gave specific examples and...

    another angle which is not readily apparent... QQL is basically an undiscovered gem, QQL's data feed is already competitive and I would bet that the feature list exceeds most. It is likely true that every trader could identify a few things to put on their 'wish list' for QQL...but that is...

    why don't you tell them why you dropped them? QQL, or anyone, will change their plans if they come to believe that it is in their best interest to do so

    Kicking, I think they would put e-minis high on the prioroty list if they were to receive a clear signal from current and prospective users. As you mentioned, there are other things you would like. Same probably applies for each person, but each with slightly different 'wish lists'. But...

    Hi Rushman, You beat me to the punch! I have been thinking about starting a thread on this topic for the past couple days. I have used QQL over a year and I agree it is a very good service, especially when you consider the modest cost. It is reliable, has pre/post market data, flexible...

    Firewalls ?

    As i see it, there are 2 types of potential 'conflicts' between data feed and firewall: 1) simply can not run or connect to data feed 2) potential slowing of data by some small degree Regarding item 1, both ZA and (even more so) TPF are configurable so that you can set-up...

    Firewalls ?

    There are two very good, and free, personal firewalls available: ZoneAlarm (ZA) and Tiny Personal Firewall (TPF). http://www.zonelabs.com http://www.tinysoftware.com ZA is more well known. It is also easier to set-up, more automatic. ZA makes you look at an opening splash screen ad for...

    Millenium Ed. Vs. 2k pro

    Yes, W2k is better for trading. W2K is a 'business class' OS whereas W98/ME is a 'consumer class' OS. If you want to dependably run several programs at once without crashing or slowing down, then W2K will allow this. W2K also makes much better use of available RAM. If you day trade you need...

    25K is not enough

    yeah, if they want to protect us from ourselves why don't they just require the Series 7 and jack-up the fee for taking it this way they get some of our $ and get the media off their back by displacing blame for any 'failed trader' stories (and also weed out anyone who can't pass the test) -...

    Day Trading Margin Rules from IB

    Although the NASD starts the new rule Sept 28, it appears that IB will implement on Aug 28 for both NYSE and NASD. On page 5 of this thread Huby addresses this. Also I started a thread to ask this question specifically: it is titled "def - question re: IB implementation of SEC rule" and...

    a stock that took off

    I have been watching MOVI also. I haven't entered long because, having 'grown-up' in a bear market, the idea of expecting and/or hoping for a stock to go up is foreign to me! It still amazes me when I see a chart like MOVI. HLYW is also a video rental chain and has a similar chart. ktm...

    def - question re: IB implementation of SEC rule

    def, I followed your link and copied the following from IB website: "IB Complies with SEC/NASD Day Trading Rules Starting August 28th, the NYSE will impose a $25,000 minimum equity requirement for "pattern day traders." Effective September 28, the NASD will impose the same...

    Day Trading Margin Rules from IB

    This is a positive line of thought, there probably is no reason that IB or other brokers could not update cash accounts in real time just as some do with margin accounts. But even if this change were to be implemented, is shorting allowed in cash accounts?
