Hans, I agree that the level 1 product appears to be a terrific alternative to other platforms considering the price and features. I use the pro product myself and have not traded on the level 1 with live capital. I will be doing that when I am visiting Orlando in a few weeks and will let you...

Just think back to when you were buying and selling Redhat, or Linux, or any of the dotcom IPOs on their IPO days. Buy 1/2 above the offer (just to get in) and wham your filled 15 cents below the bid. Sell 1/4 below the bid (just to get out) and wham your filled 15 cents above the offer. Just...

Let me know so I can work out the times, etc.

I trade with a firm (Point Direx) based right in Orlando, though I trade remotely from NY. I will be in Orlando in late January for a few days to beta test there newest version of their trading platform, as well as some general trading education meetings, etc. If you want, we can all meet at...

Are you signing up with .....if you don't mind me asking

THe current version does not support stops however the next release, scheduled I believe for later this month, will support stops. Direx pro is a stand alone (not browser based) platform installed on your hard drive and provides the fastest Direct Access capabilities I have ever experienced...

is SouthWest...........

Though it appears that you cannot execute macros with the Excel Viewer....which is what I needed. Oh well onto another solution.

I knew there was something like this and you were so much faster than me searching the web.....:)

Does anyone know if MS Excel files can be saved in some way so as to make them available to people who do not have Excel? For example, with MS PowerPoint and MS Access, you can save the files as self extracting versions that run them selves for access by anyone even if they do not have the...

And never use the power of the instant fill from SUPERSOES? Sounds crazy to me. I estimate that 1/3 of my fills come via SS. Then again I do not trade with IB so I do not know how efficient or inefficient it is to fire off lightning speed orders/fills.

I think it was established on the old thread that no one could agree how to factor in realtime exits, stops, etc and since Don would actually be executing these trades, this was a big concern on their (the vendor's) part. Also, many of them provide live realtime calls and Don was only asking...

Market orders have no priority over limit orders for Nasdaq stocks. It is simply price/time. If you trade using DIrect Access and ever use SOES, you will definitely (in my opinion) want to price the order above the offer to buy and below bid to sell. This will keep your place in the SOES...

Your problem sounds EXACTLY like the one I had and it cost me hours and hours of brain damage. IN the end it was the simple, but frustrating issue of having a 2nd video card that was incompatible with Win 2000 AS A SECONDARY MONITOR. That is, the card would work with 2000 if the monitor was...

Commisso, Just to clarify, you mean the stock has retraced 38% of the move from the 12/4/01 low rather than the 9/04/01 low? I'm sure that's what you meant...sure looks that way to me. Great explanation in all other regards.....

Quik, Are you implying that you used to use SNET preference orders often with smaller size? I never had much success or use for SNET pref in my trading. Agree totally on the cents per share pricing vs. per ticket though. Makes a huge difference for smaller size traders like me.

THis is a great question that is difficult (for me) to answer. But first off, I can tell you that the Point DIrex "direct" ECN route is no doubt faster than using Redi or ARCA on RealTick because I have tested them out side by side. I have thought alot about this actually because I had the...

Don, Have you actually explained the concept of this strategy on a different thread? I don't see it anywhere on this one and the spreadsheet you posted seemed to be stats only. I followed Edge's explanation just fine but am interested in reading it explained in your words as well. Thanks.
