    Q charts or eSignal ?

    Ok this is the end game. Had QQL, Q charts and eSig. up together again. Q charts screwed up royally--bad data, delays while the status indicator was green--IMPOSSIBLE to trade off--screwy quotes with 20-40 cent variance while the other services were steady. Dumped Q charts--back to the...

    Q charts or eSignal ?

    So I today I had QQL, Q charts, eSignal, and my broker running side by side from Fed meeting to close. Guess who screwed up big time with price quotes--I mean off by by as much as 20 cents, or just plain delayed--yup, Q charts. Even when the status indicator returned to green, after being...

    Q charts or eSignal ?

    Well, I've had QQL, Qcharts and eSignal side by side for a day. Like I said I had several disconnects with eSignal on first use during market hours. I was using their default layout with only a handful of symbols. When eSignal went out, my broker and QQL were still up and running--who...

    Q charts or eSignal ?

    Riesgo, don't know what to say because after my first day with eSignal I'm seriously considering canceling. Lost connection 3 times in 2 hours--never lost connection with my broker or QQL which were up at the same time. Plus, the learning curve to get the layouts functional is steep--not user...

    Q charts or eSignal ?

    Thanks Riesgo, yes I agree, Quicken blew it. I'd pay twice what I had paid to get it back. It worked and worked well and was user friendly.

    Q charts or eSignal ?

    Been using QQL deluxe and perfectly happy with it. ESignal's replacement offer is lacking. It doesn't have the simplicity and versatility. For example, you don't have control over indicator panel sizing or complete indicator variables, and candle spacing is weird(on 60' charts there are...

    Wine - long/short?

    Santa Ema, Chilean merlot 1999, about $8 depending where you find it. Some variation from bottle to bottle, but always tasty. Costo carries it as do select grocery stores.

    Tell about your education

    As some one said--theres a millions ways to make money in the market but they're equally hard to find. Some ways of trading or making a living off the market may require a formal education--like working on Wall street, or maybe some quant type style, but I think that for most trading styles...

    Pointdirex or IB

    My 2 cents. I've been using PD level I for mostly swing and some day trades. I'd looked at IB but the interface was not user friendly. PD's is as intuitive as can be and very very fast. Fills have been excellent. Phone help doesn't get any better. The only draw back is that the charts (1'...

    Fighter pilots & traders

    You spent allot of time writing your piece on fighter pilots so here's my 2 cents, knowing that the exception doesn't prove anything. I kow someone real well, a former fighter pilot who now flies commercial. This guy has lost more money in the market than I've made in the last 10 years. No...

    I'm trying to help, but you are not listening(reading). My first reply, FIRST line, I said I'd need details of your trade. My second second reply, FIRST line, I said "nope"(NO), do your own homework for your own good. Don't ask me or any one else to hold your hand. End of discussion.

    PointDirex Level I

    Nope, do your own homework, for your own good. Don't trust anyone's "opinion", only the fruits of your own intelligence. Ask yourself this question, why can't I do my own research and make my own decisions? Could this have an effect on my trading?(you betcha, every time you go to pull the...

    the worst trading day ever!!

    If your only playing "bwake" outs its been awful. I've never shorted more--in fact, probably 90% shorts and they've been good.

    B. , how about some details about the trades? If you watch time and sales you'll see that some pretty outrageous deviations fly by. If your stops were tight you probably got hit on a legit bid, especially if you're holding a small number of shares. Talk to the guys at PointD.. I've found...
