Dustin, I see from your earlier post in this thread that you've used them for around 9 months now and that you are (presumably still) primarily a stock trader of S&P500 or Nasdaq100 stocks (like myself). Thats a solid reommendation. Thanks. ======= protrader00, Do you know which...

OK, I know its an old thread but I didn't think I should start a new one on this topic. I've searched the forum but did not find much recent info on the topic. I'm interested in trying a good S&P squawk box service and would like to know if anyone is with a service they would recommend. I...

I'm only answering because I know the answer, not because I recommend/endorse this room. I regard it as for entertainment only and do not think it is an efficient use of time for a professional trader. It is not my intent to disparage that chat room but this is a forum targeting professional...

kensmith A bit off topic but anyway... I would guess that you have a free PCI slot in your machine. If so, why not just get another Matrox dual head? They have a PCI version which works well. I have one in a machine with two 3DFX Voodoo 3 2000 cards (1 AGP + 1 PCI). I run mine at...

Since no one else replied I'll take the first stab at it. I'm sure someone can point you to some other thread which details this but I didn't want to leave you hanging. Retention of the initial capitol contribution for a specific period of time is a requirement of the exchange under whose...

uptik2000 My RealTick is direct from Townsend ( www.realtick.com ) and not connected with ECHOtrade. I guess I may reconsider my quote fees in January if they start charging me for ECHOtrader. If I had a choice between ECHOtrader for $300 and FirstAlert for $375, I would pick FirstAlert...

uptik2000 RealTick is ~$260/mo including E-mini quotes. RavenQuote is $40 on top of QCharts which is $100/mo. So my total is ~$400/mo or $100/week or $20/day. I've just done a little fiddling with RavenQuote so far but I got it for its scanning, filtering, alerts, color studies etc. I...

A note of clarification. In keeping with my tag line, I recently decided to trade one stock exclusively. Its a big cap, high share price stock. I am never managing more than one position (stock) but rather scaling into and out of it, most of the time being flat. Currently I feel...

mgkrebs I provided 25k but of course since I trade positions considerably larger than that intraday (often well in excess of 4:1), I use their capitol as well. I trade for myself (100% payout) and have not yet held anything overnight (my choice). I just got my series 7 license at the end...

uptik2000 I think you hit the nail on the head. The bottom line is that real time trading has overhead costs whether you are retail or professional. The at home trader does not have to spend time commuting nor have the stress of being the little guy in the office where people around you...
