Hi Finn, sorry for the loss you took, but I cannot understand, why you limited your possibilities for execution of stop-loss order at your price by using only Island ECN. When using only Island, you cut off about 90% of the possible market for your order. This has nothing to do with...

rfoulk, I'am suprised to hear, that you can run the JTWS from behind a firewall and using NAT. I have tried it several times and it doesn't work on my office PC ( network, proxyserver, IE 5.0 , Win NT ) although the java runtime interface was installed correctly and works. With JTWS, I...

Hi reddog - you experienced the reason why I finally cancelled my Qcharts subscription a couple of days ago. The software is really great but their datafeed lacks reliability. Tested WOW too and found their datafeed also unreliable. eSignal has been very good, but needs a lot of ressources on...
