I am getting close to opening a realtick account. I really like, and will use the page manager and conditionals orders. I just have not been able to find any other software that does this as well. I still like omnipro, but now am concerned if a java application is going to provide reliable data...

now that is scary. i hope you are still in the 50 free trade window. otherwise yet another way to increase broker fees

I think it depends on your style of trading. I can see real value to tradestaion's versatility, (although 6 months looks fast), but I scale in and out so much with small size that most of my trades would be priced at the higher rate. For someone trading more volume per ticket but not huge, it...

Cybertrader suffered an untimely death this week at the hands of a lone gunman, shot point blank in the head by a high powered executive. Many onlookers stood by in complete disbelief as the assailant got back in his black limo, and slowly drove off into the cold December night. An eyewitness...

Rich, I have traded in several online rooms the last few years and many pepole seem to use realtick very successfuly. The main complaint from just about all of them is that it often slows down, particularly the charts, in fast moving markets. I asked a realtick rep about this a few weeks ago at...

ok, I see many here asking about other platforms so I decided to post what I have looked at. Please understand that these comments are only my opinion and in most cases I am just confused as anyone else. I would also say that my trading style is aprox 10 trades a day, or 25-30 one way tickets...

I also am trying to figure out where to go, and am looking hard. I somehow thought that Schwab would not be this bad. AAA's letter say it nicely. I also have a problem with the server side alerts not being directed and limit of 2 conditions. I now see that my thoughts were a fantasy. I have...

I honestly do not think cybertrader is usable for me anymore except for my ira. I have been trying to remain objective but... I too suffered a complete disconnect today after the fed, and had to log out and back on. I can not remember CT ever doing this, slow yes, but booted out, no. It is...

left out i was talking about small business failures.

also most claim that 80-90%, (whatever the study says) fail in the first five years, then some just as high number fail in the second 5 years. My suspicion is that most day traders fail much faster than that. i believe that one who actually makes it 5 years, (no prof of this just feeling), has a...

so when i set a conditional order and check the box "keep alert active after logoff" the route switches to smartEx and will not even show other routes. nice job schwab guys, do you think you be more obvious management is only in it for the money. don't get me wrong, i have nothing against a...

So I tried a trade this morning to see what would happen. I took a small short on aapl just after the open. i was 12 cents below the bid and it didn't fill. then 33 seconds later i was filled 31 cents above my limit. I'm sure schwab would say "hey thats price improvement, what are you...

you are just too funny. i have the exact same problem don't you know. well not exactly, you sound much worse actually, but who really knows.

a shot in the dark mastering integrity not delusion can i get a window seat please

Yep, a week or two of those losses and we're talking real money.

Think of it this way, if the nickel and dime approach could avg over time maybe 1/2 to 1% of you account a day, how would that look at the end of the year. Also, don't forget there is absolutely nothing wrong with a brutal up swing, (they're great), it is only the down you need to protect...

oh sure, mind game... i know, a 2004 japanese anime film directed by masaaki yuasa. on no wait, its a john lenon record from the 70's with way cool cover art. you know, back in the days when covers were art.

i dono, you might want to revisit this in 5 years or so.

I have a number that I won't exceed for a day in loses. I also have a daily goal that when I reach it, I protect gains. It took me a long time to figure it out, but once I did, this problem became very clear. I used think to myself, if I just had those 2 big loss days a month back, it would have...

i think it is so telling that 99.9% of schwab orders are not directed, and almost half of them are market orders. Compaired to only 41.6% not directed on cybertrader, and less than 1% market orders. Maybe schwab figures cybertrader users will all start placing non directed market orders once the...
