    Doesn't Anyone use eSignal and Trade the NYSE

    The following web-page identifies the various methods of complaining: http://www.esignalcentral.com/support/contact/default.asp I'm personally worn-out, I've talked to several LiveReps, started a thread on their Bulletin Boards, and have been sending e-mails for months ... I'm now hoping...

    Doesn't Anyone use eSignal and Trade the NYSE

    I use eSignal to drive a software application, and I trade NYSE stocks. The eSignal data feed is supposed to provide Exchange filtering (e.g. IBM=N, charts only trades on the NYSE). Unfortunately, the eSignal application has a bug and doesn't work with exchange filtering. I find it absolutely...

    Comission and Bullet Rates

    I'm glad people are keeping this thread alive, and I hope they continue to do so. Anybody who day trades equities successfully knows that commission is EXTREMELY important!! In the current market environment, a low commission structure can determine whether a trader survives ... or is forced to...

    eSignal DDE

    eSignal does not work with Exchange filtering e.g. IBM=N does not work. I informed them of this bug in late October 2002 and have been trying to get this fixed. Please inform them that you want this feature fixed ... this will hopefully help increase the priority of this bug. Another bug is...

    NeoTicker from TickQuest

    Sorry for the delayed reply, I don't visit this forum very frequently. I would recommend learning NeoTicker by going through the help sections very carefully. The scripting interface is designed for power users and is based on object oriented programming ... which is the standard today. I write...

    NeoTicker from TickQuest

    to the best of my knowledge, and I think I've looked at or used them all, NeoTicker is the most powerful package available ... but there is no free lunch. With all that power comes complexity, and if you don't have some sort of programming background, you will most likely find it quite difficult...

    Can I place this order?

    FYI: you cannot place an order to sell unless you are actually long the stock ... even though you have a corresponding order to buy. You can place a sell-short order, but obviously that will only execute on an uptick or a zero-plus tick. If you had a bullet or conversion on the stock, then you...

    eSignal wish list : the dedicated thread

    Does eSignal have any plans to offer the User the ability to filter the exchange when viewing charts and quotes? If you look at a chart for an NYSE stock, you will find that the majority of the bad ticks are from exchanges other then the NYSE, and the official closing and opening prices are...

    New Nasdaq Fees (Echo vs. Bright)

    Personally I like the price competition that I see occurring on these boards, and I have no idea why any successful high-volume trader would even consider a firm that doesn't offer the lowest commissions. For me, trading is a business, and a quarter of a cent is a substantial savings over a...

    Qcharts via satellite

    EasyRider, the QCharts data feed is extremely unreliable. They have a great little charting package, but I would never use them for real-time trading, and would even be leery of using them for swing trading. The only reliable internet based data feeds that I've ever found are...

    Need a recommendation for a NYC firm

    Badkray, do you know if they charge any additional fees for NYSE (other then SEC fees), and if they charge extra for remote traders? That's a decent rate for NYSE, if it doesn't include any other fees. Their web-site appeared to be absent any fee/rate info. Regards, Slave2Market

    Need a recommendation for a NYC firm

    Don, this is not meant to be an attack, but you are incorrect when you state that a trader saves 15% of one's profits by not paying any FICA or Self-Employment taxes. It is actually much less then that depending on your income ... at least according to IRS Form 1040SSE. You pay...

    Need a recommendation for a NYC firm

    Trader4Life, could you post where you're trading at now. I would like to pay 0.7 cents per share on such little volume. The best I've found is 0.75 cents and I'm trading 2-3x that volume. I only have one comment about my execution systems ... totally unreliable. Regards, Slave2Market

    ESignal

    Here's how you should handle the symbol count problem. 1. Each User should be allowed to have an unlimited Portfolio of symbols. Each time a User types in a symbol in one of the windows, it should be added to this Portfolio. The User should be allowed to build, import/export and edit symbols...

    Why Prop??

    I don't want to turn this thread into a tax discussion, but I was trying to determine if I was possibly missing some method of deferring taxes on my income. If I were to file as a Trader via Schedule C (not Mark-To-Market), I would pay Self Employment tax on only the first $80K (approx) of...

    Why Prop??

    Don, I have to tell you that I am with the right firm :) If you know of a way to defer taxes on my trading income please tell me. I'm talking about a way to shelter some of my income for retirement purposes I.e. SEP-IRA, Keough, VEBA Trust etc. To the best of my knowledge and my...

    Why Prop??

    As a prop firm LLC member, I have found that it has severe negative tax consequences when compared to a Schedule C filer. The biggest problem is that there is no way to defer taxes on your income. If you make a decent living (+6 figures), you end up paying 39.6% of your income to the IRS every...
