I thought I might comment on some observations since installing a 2 drive stripped RAID in my Mac Pro for running OSX and Parallels/XP. I was running a maxtor 500gb sata II HD, which had data thru put rates in the neighborhood of 50-60 read/write. Closer to 40-50 when the drive would start...

Thanks guys... I'm not trading this beast yet. I'm just trying to work thru what's going to run well under the Mac Pro/OS X/Parallels/XP environment. Then, I can continue my journey from a strong foundation. RJ ...

Hello Hoi... Does QT needed to be slightly tweaked to disable it's trade function to better integrate with Button Trader? I assume simply not logining into IB with QT is enough. Thanks RJ ...

Thanks Kiwi... One thing about Sierra, it does seem to handle a few more windows and indicators at the same time better than QT. What data feed are you using with Sierra? Thanks again.

Can anyone comment on what charting package is the most stable for use with Button Trader & TWS? I know Ninja Trader does not like being in the mix, but so far QuoteTracker and Sierra charts seem to doing OK. Is there a benefit to running TWS as a stand alone -vs- via Java from a browser...

Can anyone comment on their favorite QuoteTracker & Sierra Charts indicators for watching volume and DOM? I have been working on watching 5k-10K volume charts for helping me let a trade run. I'm looking for the indicators, that when tweaked, will help a tick chart hint to some changes...

DTNiQ-> http://www.dtniq.com/template.cfm?navgroup=otherlist&urlcode=42&view=1 Can anyone comment on internet connection speed for DTN.iQ? Is a DSL line running at around 1200-1400Kpbs fast enough for faster markets with heavy volume? I ask because I have a cable modem at my home office...

Thanks for the hint. :) Lots of reading to do. cheers RJ ...

I have been test driving a number of trading apps on a Mac Pro/Parallels/XP setup. I find running a single app with an iQfeed runs very well. However, when I attempt to run TWS to feed Button Trader, and the Quote tracker running off iQfeed, it does not take long for something to go wrong and...

I forgot Investor RT. It could run off the IB data feed, right?

I have been testing parallels with a number of trading/charting apps, and so far it has been great. I am running the new v3.0, but 2.x was just fine also. Button Trader QuoteTracker NinjaTrader AmiBroker TWS Sierra DTN iQ MB Trading Schwab Street Smart Pro I might add it's nice to...

The SATA drives will achieve a wonderful boost in speed if you begin adding 2 or more drives in a striped RAID. You might also note not all SATA drives are created equal as far as speed. Check out this link/site for some speed test between various brand and size HDs...

Hoi... I thought I might bring this thread back to the top. I greatly appreciate your help as I have started my BT demo with my IB account. I'm looking forward to checking out all of the simulation demos this weekend, and maybe switching BT to realtime/$$$ next week. Thanks again for...

I'm using a Mac Pro, running TWS, QTracker, NinjaTrader, iQfeed, and some other goodies. So far, it has been very nicely bahaved with Parallels. I have yet to really push NT, but I hope to do that very soon. I also hope to test drive AmiBroker soon. The trick would be load the iMac...
