    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    I couldn't make up my mind regarding a monitor so I just rolled the dice and got the abovementioned one on a closeout or some kind of a price deal, it is great. Your worst day on an LCD monitor is better than your best day on anything else. Max

    Qcharts vs. Realtick

    I tried to use Qcharts for some research recently and discovered that the intraday data is way off. I found one minute volumes that were greater than the daily volumes and all sorts of stuff. Changing servers did not fix anything much. I kept the service because of the wonderful charting...
