The NYOB is clearly only a guide. The refresh rate is 5 seconds so orders that have gone through may be refreshed any time within the 5 seconds. An order my blast a wall and the book will be refreshing right away or you may have to wait 5 seconds for the refresh. This can be incredibly...

Thanks all..... Didn't know that about the xp clock syncing itself. Thanks for the responses. Not smart to be running away from positions with 10 secs. remaining but I find myself in that situation all too often. Good trading all. Mcelitetrader

I need to find a good clock that I can trust and doesnt fiddle too much with my system. I have my clock in my windows xp taskbar but i want one that i can enlarge as the day closes out. I dont want to have to look at my time and sales clock all day for the last five minutes before close...

zdreg, I hate directing letters in this manner but you need to stop hanging out and firing off useless information about things you dont understand. Prop firms hire individual and they take only allow losses up the amount of money down. When that money is gone you have no buying...

Have a look at some of the prop firms....some even have offices.....they allow you to put a deposit (3k-5k) and use the magic of leverage..some even have offices you can learn to trade. The fee structure pays out well and you can actively trade....some firms will allow you to leave positions...

Ive been on this board and find it useful....One thing I have been unable to find is a comparison of the current rates of the trading firms. I want people to message me about trading opportunities and to send the rates and deals they are currently receiving. I have been trading for 1.5 years...

I have a realtime price on my execution system but i want to be able to see chart formations in order to determine strength and how much momentum the price has when approaching large support/resistance levels. The live price alone makes it difficult to capture this feel. I use GLD as a...

I am having trouble working out a reliable setup for spot gold. I reference kitco.com and that seems to work well for my swing trading but I would like to have some instantaneous feeds. I look at GLD streetracks and use the gold/silver index and these seem to do the job. Anyone have...

Getting a little ahead of myself.... Questrade was quick to get back to me to clarify all information. I dont think I did my due diligence by asking enough questions up front. The numbers are all here. I apologized for writing names on this board and using it as a forum to air my...
