Just wanted to publicly thank eSignal (Scott & Jay) for persevering to get this problem fixed...turned out to be a Tradestation 2000i issue. These guys rock.

Scott, Thanks for the screen shots. That is exactly what I'm looking for and have been trying to do--but to no avail (other esignal users seem to have similar experience according to elitetrader posts). I've gone around in circles with tech support on this many times because, for whatever...

No! How can we get price improvement from an ECN?? The specialist system is policed well enough by NYSE that we can still make money. Thats just NYSE though... all AMEX specialists should be in jail...never ever trade with them.

I have esignal and I'm encouraged to see what you are moving towards re NYSE openbook. However, can I make a couple suggestions? First, please kill all regional exchange quotes! The main two reasons are that they completely skew tapereading and nobody trades the regional exchanges anyway. I'm a...

for some strange reason I'm having a hard time finding a good third party data/software vendor that allows me to see market depth (ie, ECN's, NYSE, regionals) for listed stocks. Any suggestions?

esignal rocks--and I've used a lot of data feeds...

I know of a prop firm "traders club" in the Vancouver area...commissions beat anything I've seen so far.

what does it cost to trade the crude mini?

I haven't pair traded yet this year...but the guys I know who are say it isn't working. Pairs are trending and generally acting out of character. I would suggest intraday scalping ...its best to be flat overnight these days.

ditto...thats what I do. I only need eSignal for real-time intraday data. Of course at the end of this year the globalserver is scheduled to end so we'll have to find another solution.

At least in theory, if the specialist publishes a bid and offer, they should be obligated to fill at those prices. Also, games traders play is 0.1% compared to all the specialists' games.

anybody have experience with Neovest Idealink vs. FirstAlert? Is Idealink the thin client version.

yes, I've heard the Internet version is better from other sources was well...

I've used it...would be a great platform if not for the (many) bugs.

funny! :p

True, scalping for pennies won't put you in the ranks of Warren Buffet...but for me it boils down to lifestlye, doing what I enjoy, and if I can make a decent living at it, thats even better (its consistenly making a decent living that's the hard part)

Janette, does Tradestation ever plan on holding a conference again?...last one I attended was Omegaworld 2000 in NY, but I haven't heard of any since then.

I've been looking at Ensign/IQfeed, good to hear the feedback. Anyone have experience using their programming language for creating studies, backtesting, etc?

from past experience, briefing is delayed compared to premium news services (reuters, etc.). when it comes to news, you definately get what you pay for.

I found that book to be more academic than anything else...much more can be learned from individuals/mentors who have been through the fire of real trading.
