Banjo, If it were, eSignal would have to send you every tick on every symbol. This is some serious data. Then your scanner software would have to continually database this huge stream while continually performing queries on the data. A much better way would be for the data providers to...

That's good - you'll be a little rusty, so I'll have the edge. Mike

If your trading PC has a browser it allready has java! IRC cons: Waists bandwidth Is susceptable to viruses Requires additional IRC software Where are the pros? Aside from you can run it on your MAC (discretionary) Mike

lundy, What kind of name is that anyway? Although there might be some truth to your thought, where the hell do you get off suggesting that people suppress their inalienable right to free speech on a public forum? If you don't like what someone has to say than just use the ignore button...

DarkHorse, I knew you wouldn't let me down! You were just joking! I'm relieved now that I see this was only a momentary lapse of sanity.

DarkHorse, Surely you joking! What will I do for entertainment?

Tony, We have a variety of games that we play. I'm thinking about starting another thread about them. Some of the games are: 2 card choosy, with a buy (HI-LO). Highest hand is two aces. Lowest hand is ace, duece. Deal one down, bet, deal second card down and roll one up (roll your own)...

Well since I did not post my trade today, I will post my poker results from tonights poker game. Long CARDS Entry 20 bucks Target 150 bucks Stop 50 bucks Started with 20 bucks, never drew down beyond the original 20. Came home with an additional 87 bucks. Best of all I had a lot of fun...

RealTick charges their partnered brokers a transaction fee for each trade. There is no way for these brokers to compete with IB because they have to pay Townsend. Mike

The problem is probably in Java 1.4 rt.jar file. It probably includes the same java classes that the applet was built with but different versions of them. Apparently this is a MAJOR issue with 1.4. Anyway, if you are using IE, you can go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced Tab. Uncheck the Sun...

Cdntrader, Where did you get this information? I have done some preliminary research and it seems possible to write an IB order entry system that would integrate with RealTick, eSignal or whatever charting package you like. It would take a little probing (hacking) at the other app. The...

No trades today. The #@$%%@! DSL was down ALL day. I tried to operate on dialup. Too slow. DSL is up now. Hopefully it will be up tommorow. Mike

Tony, Please revise the poll. I did not see the movie. However "best" is discretionary. Therefore, I can not say that I have not seen the "Best" movie of the year, perhaps I have. Mike

Don, Glad to see you doing well. I was gauging your recovery by how long it would take you to post. Mike

limitdown This is nothing new. I have used both SDSL and ADSL. The only difference is the modulation scheme. G.DMT versus G.LITE. SDSL is symetrical which means the same speed in both directions. SDSL requires a dedicated copper pair between you and the Telco CO. ADSL rides over an...

The morning started off a little frustrating. I had a clear pallette on my Oz minders. The market opened and soon after symbols started showing up in my minders. Only one problem, the symbols did not look right. I called RT support. I told the rep that a couple days ago I had problems with the...

long XLNX 9:52 AM Entry 39.90 Stop 40.64 Target 40.64 (High on 4/23) When I took this trade I was not aware that the r/r was less that 3:1. Sometimes I have to guesstimate the r/r because things are busy. I'm not sure, but I may have moved my stop up too quickly and not have given it...

Yep, Another example of why IB should implement a BEST IOC (Immediate or Cancel) Route. What would you rather have BEST Price or BEST Execution? I choose BEST Execution. IB's system has a tradeoff. The price improvement algorithm trades off execution speed and reliability for price...

xtrader Don't know of any. I have never seen any. There are several estute programmers/traders that live on this board. If you get more specific, I'm sure some will step up to the plate. Mike
