TGM, I recommend Quadro NVS 280 from PNY. You can get them in AGP, PCI, or PCI Express versions. Add as many as you need.

I don't like Colorgraphic drivers. If you're system is all ATi, perhaps you will be ok. But don't mix it with Nvidia.

That would be a shame.

I've tried a lot of different brands. My favorites: http://www.geilusa.com/ http://www.corsair.com/

You mean run efs without a chart? I don't think that's possible. Again, though, you don't have to calculate on every tick. It's hard to know exactly what you are doing. If you are in DLL land, you might as well go with just a datafeed, eg. IQFeed or IB.

No. To be fair though, scripting technology is fairly difficult to implement. Tick-by-tick processing is demanding. I think you can also set it to execute at the close of each bar (e.g. getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR)

EFS takes a long time to get up to speed on. I am a programmer, so I already knew Javascript. What takes a while is learning the intricacies of practical efs. One thing I do when I am searching for something is looking at the archives of their forums (esignalcentral), talking to one of their...

yeah, I think for now we can just keep the same time template. No value added from those trades, at least on bonds

I need tick-by-tick, and spread charts, and foreign (Asian) markets. That pretty much limits me to CQG? I called today for a trial.

Hmmm Didn't realize Esignal have Topix and Nikkei futures as well as stocks. Must have snuck that one by. NI225 Z5-OSM TPX Z5-TPX

Do you mean futures? If so, you need IB. I don't remember the index symbol on esignal.

OK, thanks. So, in a way the difference between IB MM's and say Oanda is kind of illusory. There still has to be enough volume for someone to hit my order. Other wise, I have to wait for the offer to move to my bid, just like Oanda.

Just a quick question here: Bid: 1.1710 x 20,000,000 Ask: 1.1712 x 20,000,000 I place a bid to buy 25K at 1.1711 I see three scenarios: Bid moves to 1.1711. My bid is added to previous bid to make 20,025,000. Offer moves to 1.1711. My bid is executed and I now own 25K euros...

I echo bighog. You can get PCI, AGP, and PCI Express versions of the Quadro. Dual DVI for around 170. Put in as many as you need.

I'm a burned out coder, trying to trade part-time in the mornings, outside work. I can program anything just can't get consistent. I am a good discretionary trader. But I don't think the part-time, trade a few hours here and there thing is viable long-term. I think you have to go at it 100%...

I am really happer with this router. I have a cable modem, and I was up and running in 10 minutes. Turned off wireless, as it seems to give me a slight headache. But then, I am sensitive to that kind of thing :) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833127158

Hmmm...I get 15 mbps through Cox. But my experience with Verizon has been very negative. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Will probably be worse with MCI. I think it is a very big company that grew through acquisition and not all of the systems are integrated. To me a...

Funny, as I argue against this thread. I realize TWS will not start. In fact, nothing Java-related will start. First time this has happened in months. I upgrade 1.5.0 to 1.5.0_05 and all is well. Can't explain that one.

What I wish they would change: The C++ API is windows only. Come on, there must be way to make that platform independent. MyTrack could do it. I don't want to have to use Java if I choose Linux.

Why I stay with eSignal: Data on demand. If I want to pull up history on an instrument, I merely have to type the symbol and timeframe. Voila. I can even get data on exchanges I am not subscribed to, via delayed data packages, for a small fee. I have not found this capability anywhere else...
