Concerning the Realtick API, I asked TAl about that back in December and they said that there was no API available. Is this a well kept secret or am I missing something. I am speaking specifically of an API that will allow order placement and monitoring, not just quotes access, which we get...

uptik2000, it looks like that would do the job. I'll look into it. Thanks Concerning VESA standards, check the website of your monitor's manufacturer for the monitor's specs. Look for some info that states that it supports standard VESA mounting arms. I may be wrong but typically this...

PatG, The latest version is 6.03.00.497, Date 01/10/2002. I'm not sure why you are not prompted to automatically download the new version when you log in. It should be automatic, unless you have turned off the notification feature (I believe that you can disable it for a few days. You...

Pejman, I would have to agree with you on the customer service issue. I called them three days ago to inquire about their LCD mounts. While the person I spoke with was knowledgeable and cordial, he promised to email me a quote for the 6 monitor mounts. To date I have received nothing...

Funster, TSPro checks for new versions every time you log on. You will automatically be notified when the new upgrades come out. There was a new release on Monday last week. Concerning lockups/crashes, I guess I spoke too soon. I just had a lockup/crash. I requested a quickquote on GE...

I have been using TS Pro for soem time now under W2K and do not seem to have the same problems you see. I have had the ocasional quote freeze but I would say that about 95% of the time quotes run smoothly. They did have some terrible problems early last week after they introduced a new...

Does the toolkit also allow you to place orders or is it just for quote retrieval. I have a brokerage realtick account and would like to automate some trading ideas I have, but short of using IB's Excel DDE interface or Mytrack's API, there doesn't seem to be many options out there.

Has anyone been able to getthe excel DDE to work. The standalone download available from the website is not the right version (740 as opposed to 742 required). Running the beta version has the excel option in the Setting menu, however trying to get data through the provided excel interface...

Don, Since you are planning to offer remote trading in 2002, and with the new low commissions, the package could look interesting. However I was wondering if your firm would only be interested in high volume traders, i.e. 40+ trades per day, or would a swing trading style 4 - 5 trades/day...

jsmith, As a corrollary to your first point, what I see a lot of recently is that stocks seem to move just enough to take out the previous days' high or low and then reverse. My suspicion is that this is because of so many books and strategies recently that use setup entries that are 1 tick...

I use the G400 dual head and I believe that the drivers are virtually the same functionality wise so here is my take on this. I have actually been able to set up my card in either of both ways described here: 1) to have the taskbar stretched across both monitors, or 2) to have taskbar on only...

Silk, I'm not sure if you are actually trading what you are saying. Have you tried to trade these highly volatile stocks and correctly call "the next big move in the stock". I have been trying to trade these for some time now, and given that I am a lousy trader, it is extremely difficult to...

If you are not a former TS user then the monthly price is somewhere around $250/mth I believe. This was in January and may have been changed since then. Call them up to find out. I've used TS now since version 3.5 in 1995. 3.5 and 4.0 were great. When the BMI feed disappeared (or we were...

Rather than buy 2000i why not just subscribe to the TS Pro service. I have been using it since January and it is extremely reliable. You have all of the features of 2000i and it costs only $99/mth (for former TS users), exchange fees included. With 2000i, you will still need to pay for...

I've recently started using IB and I've noticed that the bid/ask prices quoted in the pre-open market are different to what I get from other quote services (both L1 and L2). Can someone confirm where IB's prices are coming from in the pre open market. Thanks Echo

Bucky Lee, Do you know if it is the same with a G400 dual head AGP. Can I just add a G450 PCI to bump up to 4 monitors. Echo

I just started using IB this week. But after reading through many forums on the internet, it seemed like the best option for quick order entry was to use a separate programmable keypad. The XKEYS keypad was discussed on another thread. I bought the keypad last week and here is how I've set...

dg As someone who has also had difficulty using traditional trading strategies in recent months, I am probably not the best qualified to tell you what you are doing wrong, but here are some comments. Recently I have noted that very few of the traditional strategies are working. The old...

Airspeed, Who do you use as your broker for NYSE trading and what are the fills like. I am thinking of using IB, and the keypad idea looks suitable for that platform. Echo

As a new user to TWS, I would like to see the following: 1) When an order is pre-staged, have the limit price automatically track the current Bid/Ask (depending on sell/buy), with an option to automatically add a delta of +/- a certain amount, e.g. .05. This will allow us to set up orders...
