SaifrX can help you pump out robust trading systems in a little amount of time. Problem with this software is that it costs 7,000$ for the light version and 30,000$ for the Pro version and is difficult to understand (too math and stat intensive) I think deep pocket banks and institutions use...

I opened an MBTrader account around 5 years ago and everything was smooth and fast. 6 months after, I closed the account because they had a fee strcuture which was too expensive (I discovered IB) so I closed the account and they sent me the deposit check without problems. Now, I am trying to...

StockWatch Pro is a very buggy software. It is so buggy that it must be sent to the sand dunes again for testing before selling it. Even version 2.31 is buggy and sometimes makes your PC unstable after a few runs. hsanson

Anyone here uses Neuroshell Daytrader v. 3.5 or v. 3.7 for intraday daytrading ? This software employs quote.com as realtime datafeed and is the only software based on Neural Networks that supports a realtime datafeed. hsanson

I would like to know how I can set Realtick so that I can modify ISLD orders without having to cancel them and resending them. I tried to configure Realtick's Bump price feature, but seems it doesn't work for ISLD. For example lets say I send an order to buy MSFT with ISLD at 54.00 with...

nkhoi: how has been your experience using Tradetrek's pairs strategy. I did a quick backtest spanning over a month on their site and it seems that it lost consecutively. I have backtested daytrading pairs strategies using tradestation and have obtained good results so far, but I think there...

Executed a short on PFE at 34.83, go out at 34.68 for a +0.15 profit on 200 shares.

JeanMichel: Can you elaborate more on the settings of your Emini's Trading system ? Are those colored lines moving averages, if so what period are you using ? If you can get to explain me the setups for entry/exit in a more detailed and objective way, I can do a backtest using Tradestation...

May I recommend you Esignal. They just revamped their client charting software and I think they plan to compete in the new evolved realtime charting software arena. Avoid Qcharts, their charting software is the best, but their quote feed reliability is the worst. hsanson

Beware when trading spy, qqq or dia using IB's BEST execution. If you happen to be routed to NYSE, you are dead. It happened to me today. I shorted SPY and after it went against me I tried to get out using BEST. BEST routed my order to NYSE and seeing the stock going more against me, I...

Don's opening strategy works, I myself backtested it manually with a basket of around 20 stocks over a 1 month period and the average winners where around 60-70%. This strategy is basically similar to the opening gap strategy used by Nasdaq daytraders. Remember, opening strategy bets on...

Matt or anyone who knows or uses esignal: I would like to know if the new version of esignal v 7.0 has a standard deviation function. I need to plot a standard deviation of 30 periods based on the closing price. I do this in excel with the formula: stdev(LastPrice,30) , where the 30 means a...

Try Tradestation 1.2 cent execution. Maybe it fits your needs. What bothers is that Tradestation bundles your 1.2 cent execution with their charting/backtesting software for I thiunk is 99$/month. Anyways if you go with Realtick you will also have to pay for datafeed and charting. hsanson

Can someone in this forum explain why Qcharts' S&P Chemical Index stopped updating its intraday and daily charts 3 weeks ago ? ? CEX.X now seems dead. Is it Qcharts fault or is it that the index is no longer tracked anymore. Thanks in advance for any answers ! hsanson1

Rigel: Try Neoticker Real Time v 2.2 at www.tickquest.com Their Neoticker software allows intraday identification of patterns you specify from previous charts. Then you can save that pattern in a file and start a scan of the whole basket of stocks you have for that particular pattern you...

Crazy Trader: DSL internet connection is good, although a little overpriced compared to the US. For example, I pay 75$/month for 128kbs ADSL, but if I want 256kbs it will cost 100$/month, in other words the higher the speed, the lower the $/kbs ratio. We have Cablemodem here too, but the...

I think IB is good as it is right now, but the ONLY thing I wish IB to really change is to offer a better technical support for emergency cases. Several times IB's execution route gets stuck (due to IB's technical difficulties) and I cannot get out of my daytrading positions. So when I chat with...

Here are other softwares that use the QFEED (Quote.com) realtime datasource: www.lynnsoft.com (makers of Invert/RT) www.wealth-lab.com www.neuroshell.com www.stratagem1.com (smartrader/RT) www.tickquest.com (Neoticker 2.2 RT) <-- Very powerful 650$ www.crontech.com <-- makers of...

Today I discovered that IB's JTWS software doesnt allow me to place odd lot orders on QQQ, SPY and DIA using the ISLD exchange. I understand that I cannot place opening odd lot orders on NYSE, but it SHOULD BE ALLOWED on ISLD ECN. The same restriction applies to NYSE stocks traded on ISLD ECN...

I downloaded the DEMO and seems it has good features, it even has realtime Pattern recognitions scanner and you can program code snippets in 3 different languages: VBScript, JavaScript and Delphi Script. Have to test how stable it is. The licensed version comes with Hardware Dongle security...
