I may have missed it somewhere on the site. But I think that it would be useful to have a ratings section similar to the Brokers rating for trading software such as Tradestation, Metastock, etc.

I use their Rapid Jet Plus, which is their java app. Rapid Jet is similar to Rapid Jet Plus but it is strictly web based. There is no Windows app as far as I can tell. The applet appears stable using the Microsoft JVM. Until recently I was using it under Linux which was my previous trading...

I use them... They're okay. I like the java interface, it decent and simple to use. Execution is fairly fast. Their the only online broker that I know that actually publicly publish their uptimes. They're not very good about communicating changes to their system though. For example, when...

Bandwidth arguments aside. No one seem to mention latency. The amount of bandwidth that required really shouldn't exceed an ISDN or perhaps even a 56K modem if only one or two stocks are being watched. In case, people are wondering about the difference. Bandwidth is "the amount of data that...

rtharp, I was thinking more about Finn's problem and that's kinda what I suspected. Thanks for clearing it up. I guess that's why I don't use stop-limit orders. One question though, if a stop-market order was used instead, shouldn't that have gotten executed. My understanding is that in a...

To anyone considering DSL... DSL service can vary greatly from location to location. If you are considering using DSL for trading over the internet, it's important to have a good backup service.

That was weird... I thought I posted this to the thread but it up someplace else. -------------------------- Thank you for your replies. I was actually interested in the Matrox G200 series cards not the G400 or G450. The G200 cards appear to be superior to the G400 or G450 cards...

Thank you for your replies. I was actually interested in the Matrox G200 series cards not the G400 or G450. The G200 cards appear to be superior to the G400 or G450 cards. My concern with the Appian cards were primarily from the fact that their cards were not listed on Microsoft's...

I've recently switched my computer from Unix to Windows and I'm used to having multiple monitors. I understand that Windows 2000 does support multiple display adapters. But I'm sick of trying to find video cards that can be used as secondary adapters and wasting additional time. Does anyone...
