roflmao!!!! sorry walter that was funny :) they are cute drawings though, aren't they?

i guess the most important thing i was looking for is the instinet and arca MMs showing up (see instaquote .gif attachment in 2nd post) in multiple tiers. you're right though, the exchanges are only showing inside bid/ask.

Thanks. Marketfeed lvl2 is good, but they don't have multiple tiers for each exchange. If this would be possible, then I would definitely go with lvl2 feeds from whoever provided it. As for the support, you are first class. Kudos for the help and the quick responses!

just signed up for trial of marketfeed....this level 2 info includes NYSE, NASX, CBOE, BOSX, AMEX, and ARCA. I guess these are just aggregates for all the little ones that belong to each exchange. either way, this is much better lvl2 info than IQFeed. However, it only includes the first inside...

i just pulled up the ARCA Web Book and it is more detailed than my level 2 screen from IQFeed. I guess I should just forgo the level 2 subscription and just use the free ARCA Web Book!!! lol!!!

Speedtrader has customised their service to include additional market makers. We provide Level 2 data directly from NASDAQ, but SPY is not traded on NASDAQ, it is traded on AMEX. AMEX does not transmit LEVEL 2 data. Whatever data you are seeing on SPY as Level 2 is NOT LEVEL 2. We will...

does anyone know what data provider could work with quotetracker to resolve this issue?

The first thing I see is that the symbol you are watching, "SPY" is traded on AMEX. Level 2 data is only on NASDAQ stocks. The information we are transmitting on SPY is not true Level 2 data. Your other service is also providing data that is not true Level 2, but they are including more...

speedtrader/instaquote

I just setup IQFeed/Quotetracker and I'm noticing that many market makers on the level 2 screen are not there. Has anyone had this problem? I'm thinking about trying Marketfeed instead because of this. I am comparing it to my current setup which is Speedtrader/Instaquote level 2. i've...

In my experience as a server-side architect, Webogic is definitely the leader in this category...and blows away any other server in any other language, in both speed and stability. the problem is with the AWT/SWING packages that Java currently uses to render graphics and trigger OS operations...

i'm 19. actually i'm 26. damn.

this is a risky way to trade. even though you might think you are a discretional trader, you, in fact, are really trading your 'system'. unless your strategy requires that you trade bigger directly after large profits, then you could be (without knowing it) lowering your overall results...

this is incorrect. a trader doing 10 trades a day can have the same risk/reward scenario as the swing trader trading 1 or 2 trades a day, and so on. the market works in fractals, so what you are trading is always multiple timeframes -- its just the same ratios throughout.

how often is this a problem? besides the fact that you can short without an uptick in futures and ETFs, most stocks will sneak in an uptick all the time -- this is because many execution platforms out there now create their own uptick. in my experience, a limit order 2-3 cents below bid will...

i trade intraday and recognizing dead zones is very important. i typically will get caught going into these zones. i have been improving, though, to the point where i will recognize them quickly and sit tight until the range is broken. being able to 'switch gears' is what makes a great trader...

yeah i just downloaded all of my daily reports just in case ;)

I'm switching brokers next week. I am a bit worried about losing any trade reporting (tax info) that I might otherwise get with an account still open, with the broker that I will close my account with. Question: Is the broker that I close my account with required to still send me the...

Switching over to IB soon and want to pick a kick ass interface....i've seen traderguard and ninjatrader so far, any other good ones? thanks

I'm looking into setting up a very lean but reliable trading system for just trading the SPY. So far, I have found that IB with QuoteTracker for charts seems to be the best tradeoff for cheap but reliable trading. I have a quick question about the fees, for those of you who trade with IB...
