I'm confused - are you saying that they will allow you to use realtick software and datafeed, but let you decide which broker your order would be sent to, i.e. IB???

a good, easy reading first options book is george fontanills "The Options Course." Then try "OPTIONS : Essential concepts and strategies," which is published by the CBOE. And if you still want to trade options, read Natenberg's book....after that, you probably won't want to trade options...

can we please kill this thread???? there is no point to it. it sounds like a bunch of kids arguing about how much their daddy makes. enough please.

same here. nowadays i just sleep in on fridays. usually i'm beat by the end of the week anyway...so i'm not complaining!

you can get it on ebay for around $300-400, sometimes unregistered. i was considering this. i know a guy who wants $330 including shipping for RT v7.03, i believe. send me a private message with your e mail and i'll forward it to him for you.

this is a dumb question, but i've never traded futures - can one make the spread or even scalp the e minis and expect to get filled? or do you have to pay the spread for each transaction? also, what is the volume like on the nas100 and s&p500 minis from 16:45 until 9:30? is it too thin to be...

not that i'm the kind of person that engages in that sort of behavior, but i'm going to wait until there is a hack for XP security features. it's probably been done already, but it seems to me that the most obvious target would be to take out the limitation on unregistered boots. :D

hey mjt, do you know if there are any retail software products (maybe realtick does this but i don't know) that will include the entire ECN books in the level 2 screen??? so instead of just having the single inside ISLD or INCA quote in there along with all the MM's prices, you could actually...

you'll generally find that most of the ETFs and similar products (i.e. spdr's) are not very liquid at all, and thus kinda suck for active trading. in fact, so few people trade them that i wonder why they even have them. maybe it's to make the AMEX feel like it actually counts as an exchange. and...

...can't we all just get along? i don't really see the problem with discussing IB here. we complain alot about datek and other brokers here as well, but nobody is upset about that. i think there have been great benefits with regard to the evolution of both IB and of the people who use their...

when you have a card that uses one graphics chip to generate multiple screens, win2k defaults to making it one big stretched monitor. this can be fixed - check out my post on 10/10 entitled "win2k + g450" it is under the "Dual Matrox G400s" thread hope this helps, ken

The difference between a pit trader and us (those who have a full time job aside from trading) is that the pit traders HAVE to trade. We don't have to play when we don't want to. My point is this : you love trading and you want to trade, but you're not realizing that one true luxury you have is...

The only problem with the SIPC is that you will never get your money back, especially when IB does not send you any paper, excluding the annual 1099. Yes, the SIPC claims that you are *guaranteed* to get your money back if the broker should default or steal, but unless you have a really really...

I'm a disgruntled RQ user, so I was looking for something that would be closest to RQ. Today I downloaded esignal and ensign demos, and I really like them so far. They're a lot like RQ, including the interface, only fewer bugs and more features that actually WORK like they're supposed to. I...

Seems cool, but they don't seem to offer level 2. I just signed up for esignal's trial. Screw quote.com - I've had enough. As for raven, I'm planning on using ensign until they finally get ravensignal out. Maybe I'll just stick with ensign.....I'm trying the free one month trial. So far it...

Hi, I have a chance to buy Metastock RT at a really good price, and was wondering if it had level 2 screens, since there really isn't much detail on its features on equis' web page. I'd also appreciate any other info on the product. Thanks Ken

for all your computer buying needs: www.resellerratings.com they allow buyers to post feedback about online computer parts vendors. useful after you find the best price on pricewatch, but don't know anything about the company with the best price. it has saved me much aggravation and money.

Does Metastock Pro/Realtime offer level 2 windows???

their customer service is good when it comes to questions about how to use the software - but try and ask them when they will have an alternative data feed to quote.com (despite earlier promises about an esignal data feed) and they become mysteriously silent, and block any posts that i've tried...

I, like many other (former) Ravenquote users, have been asking Tenlights when they plan on offering alternative data feeds to quote.com, including in their user group, with absolutely NO RESPONSE whatsoever from them, or even an acknowledgement of my request. I guess they got tired of...
