    Baruch's thread closed - this sucks

    Terrible. I guess I can't mention that I trade Microsoft, because they are not a sponsor. This smacks of communism - only "official" companies may be mentioned. Heven forbid I reveal to the world a. what broker I use, b. what trading platfrom I use, or past experiences with said products and...

    Need a good scanner

    CyberTrader Pro will do this. Check out the simulator. Not sure about the trades per minute thing but volume should do the same thing. And there is a tool to show the Ax in each stock, which ECNs or MMs are most active in the stock, and dynamic buying/selling pressure in your list of stocks. I...
