ahhh yes......... i'm trading in Bangkok, Thailand - hence my trading morning session only - there's a 12 or 11 hour time difference depending on summer time hours thingies. I tried staying up 'til 4 a.m. a few times, but staying awake thru the lunch 'quiet' period was a pain. Made going to...

The beta is a big improvement - I've installed version 7 build 414 3/21/2002 - is this current? Are Tick charts available yet for advanced charts? (can't find 'em...) thanks coops

I tried WinME for a while. Gave up in disgust...... not really all that much more stable than WIn98 with all the fixes and crap installed (just some bells and whistles). I've now dual installed Windows 2000 (get Partition magic - makes the whole process as easy and safe as possible). No...

I use Quicken quotes live for data and charting - very good. I used to use QT, but the lack of multi day intra day is a major drawback (QQL is 2 days for 1 minute intraday charts). The trading integration with Datek was the real plus though. I don't think the IB data feed is too much of a...

Just stumbled on this, looks like a nice centralised ECN book viewer with unusual "3D" feel about it. I've seen in an old thread that Gary was using it - are you still? Anyone else had any experiences with them? thanks coops

Damn, Magna - you got there before me........ :D Now, this isn't independently audited but :- soon as I saw the name (I mean Vinny Gigante, dearie dearie me...), and the reference to his old fave, shortboy.... yup, he's back. Kind of enjoy it really - like rubbernecking a train...

chamol "but what others have is the ability to sign on once and open multiple charts, TOS, news, etc which you can drag and drop anywhere - I have 3 screens - and even by stretching QQL it cannot do this" QQL refers to the one overall window as a 'workspace'. Any chart or quotes or...

chamol I'm still learning trading, but like the no uptick shorting of QQQ. Now about QQL - not too clear exactly what you're looking for, so here's a couple of things I picked up (you can search thru this site for more QQL discussion aswell) :- When you launch QQL you'll find it will...

I use Quicken Quotes live - just under 40/month. No futures but otherwise very good - has 1min, 2.5 min (not quite 3min I know!), 5min, 15 min, 1/2 hr, hrly. daily,weekly timescales - and some good looking charts. Feed is reliable (more so than IB's recently). Nextrend is also an option - has...

Which stocks are undergoing any open book trial? Tried looking and searching for open book info at nyse.com, but got nowt useful. Anyway us little non pros can get a look at this now, before they start charging for that cutting edge 10sec delayed non consolidated open book......? happy new...

Open book refreshed at 10 second interval - hah. 'Customers' cannot see consolidated data with ECN's etc but the pro's can - hah. Ridiculous. coops

aiyaaahh, you're disturbing my zen like calm with this topic...... don't even mention shorting and downticks.... ah, bugger. How about a rule for non-pro's to be unable to buy stocks unless there's been a downtick? Can't be having any of those dreaded long squeezes, eh. tchah, :p coops

I'm another QQL user - so would be delighted to be able to execute trades thru IB from within the QQL charts and quotes. Last few days IB quotes seem to be much less reliable (never mind the Level 2 problems). coops ps for QQL users info : I looked at wealthlab.com after seeing Vishnu...

What is the useable resolution on the Sony 18" LCD? Currently I'm using 19" CRT at 1024x768 - any higher is just too blurry. I've often wondered what the jumbo 24" Sony monitor is like - anyone using this beast? A PC equivalent of MAC 20" LCD would be nice.... coops

candletrader is absolutely correct about Farrell's startegy only being useful in the old pre decimal days...... I mentioned him in reference to his descriptions of NYSE trading - in particular explaining the bid/ask spread. He goes to great lengths to drum this in, it's very repetitive and i...

I'd agree with Hitman re MWD - it looks like it should be a nice intraday stock to trade until you try... a good specialist (most of them?) will treat you surprisingly fairly. Price improvement is entirely normal (just get used to waiting up to 2 minutes for an execution :) ) . However there...

Chris - i checked out ird.com briefly. The data feed is : " iR Dynamics customers receive their market data from Fides Information Systems (a subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group), a Zurich based information provider to online traders, broker-dealers and financial institutions worldwide. This...

neo_hr I'm also looking to follow the intraday trend - essentially following Alexander Elder's Triple Screening System from his "Trading for a Living" book. The book contains really good advice about what each of the popular indicators are useful for (and what they 're not). For instance...

TonyOz - thanks, that link to the calculator worked fine - that's a strange one............. ps "Interesting how there's 2400 views of this thread but only 4 or 5 contributions? Is everyone doing so well and guarding their secret trading system, or not doing well and not wanting to corrupt...
