Is Scottrade any good? Scottrade is offering FREE realtime quotes, and I believe they are compatible with QuoteTracker. Does anyone have any experience with Scottrade as a data vendor (not as a broker)? Thanks! (I already asked this on...

«...prophet java charts historically only...» Indeed! And also good for checking out 'past results' of any stockpicking site. But 'live' they were a NoNo to me, they may have improved, I complained a lot, and they said they were working on it, so maybe I'll try again later. I especially...

Thanks Mutley, I'll keep using them as long as it goes, but they stopped offering their streamer to non clients, so they may one day filter all the zero clients out. Also I believe I've read something about a min. balance of $500, those that are under are going to pay a maintenance fee. I do...

The Java charts by Prophet are (or at least were, a couple of months ago) terrible for real time use. Instable, you get twice the two o'clock line next to each other and that sort of thing. Or the chart not shifting with time progressing, and all that. They are nice for backtracking quotes...

The demo is a good way of finding out how the thing works. It does not give a realistic impression of order fills (regarding speed as well as price). On this forum you'll find lots more info about IB.

m_c_a98: "true. I do need to be faster.. " Well, same problem with me, that's one of the reasons I start looking for support in the form of stock picks or whatever. The nicest thing would of course be someone having who just tells you when to enter and when to exit, but that's not very...

Thank you all for your useful suggestions, I will check them all out. I believe/hope a good stock pick service is a better investment than expensive software with an expensive "strategy" that may or may not work. I was about to try/buy Tradestation 2000i plus a strategy, together $4000,- ...

Anyone any experience with stock picks sites? For swingtrading as well as (especially) daytrading. What are the good ones, if any? Or should you never rely upon such services? I once tried Investyourself.com, but this guy let you go through an awful lot of reading. Although he may be good...
