Say EdgeHunter, What do you suggest? I liked the Systems Works ability to get rid of broken links and to check the Windows registry (if in fact it actually could do that?) I get Macafee antivirus free with Qwest, but would like a system cleaner. Open to any suggestions for Antivirus...

Last year, an upgrade attempt on Norton Systems Works Pro was not upgradable and had problems and crashed my operating system. Oh well, being one who learns slow, I reinstalled the OS and purchased a retail box for Norton Systems Works Premier 2005. Having had the product for 11 months, the...

Does Ninja trader do stocks or just futures? And why would one be required to get a third party application to correct IB's inability to use hotkeys from the Level 2?

I want to know if anyone actually scalps a number of stocks a day and a lot of entries every day on IB using hot keys (not by the mouse or mouse entires). My understanding is that hot keys may be configured to work on any of three windows. On a page, on the level 2, or on the Book Trader...

They had the oil numbers live today for the spike in oil and OIH. They nail the economic numbers live and at least you know what's moving the market. Otherwise you're trading in the dark without some sort of news. Yes, some of the other news items are totally useless. I can hear better...

IB tws Java has been discussed many times here on ET. What I notice is that with more than one IB TWS Java one minute charts open, that the CPU will almost peg out and every thing does not work timely. If I close out all IB TWS charts and only use QT charts with the IB feed, the CPU usage goes...

Stock fetcher is not free, but almost. Several canned scans for eod ATR.

QT gets its data from IB feed. When watching the prints on another platform there is no delay. You may notice that IB does not report every print and updates less times per second. This is not a problem at all.

Works reliably with Quote Tracker for charts. But what platform do you use for scalping?

Thanks for the post. I may be the only one that thinks this is convoluted logic, to have an inverted curve under the present economic circumstances. Obviously the market does not agree with my thinking, hence the inverted yield curve. For example, M3 has been a multiple of CPI for the past...

Am I missing something here? How are you supposed to get any level 2 information on NYSE liquid stocks such as AMD where there is a vast amount of ECN and MM participation besides NYSE? IB only shows rudimetary levels. IB Book trader only shows two lines, the size on the bid and the ask...

IB TWS java charts are resource hogs IMO. If more than a few one minute charts are open on TWS, it pegs the CPU even with my relatively fast computer, 1G of Ram and high speed DSL. After switching to QT with IB feed, no more problems, with CPU utilization at a minimum.

trin-nyse and trin-nasd

Sorry this was my mistake. I'm getting it from Medved QT from an IB feed. I don't know how to do this directly from IB. The symbols may be some different on IB directly. Sorry.

OK. Thanks for the suggestions. Attached are the Trin charts from this moning with sma(20) vs sma (4). Looks helpful and much better than just following Trin itself. Ib symbols are $trin-nyse and $trin-nasd Thanks

Level 2 does not work for Nyse stocks. Nyse open book is next to worthless, but level 2 for high volume stocks would be very useful because there are numerous Nasdaq participants.

Charles Trader, Is the Trin smoothed on your chart? What is the period of 20 average computed on? Minutes , 5 minutes, or what( the red and green line)? Looks like an innovative idea. Thanks

It was interesting because of the unusual Trin spikes today. Here's how I understand the usefulness of Trin for intraday daytrading. Trin is cumulative for the day and becomes less useful as the day progresses, except that it's helpful to watch the direction of Trin rather than the absolute...

This is what's wrong with ET. We have someone who is willing to share by posting here and we get sarcasm. The gentlemanly approach would be to offer your alternative suggstions, comments etc and have a mature discussion.

Quote Tracker works from IB data and you can draw trendlines etc. Also you can draw lines on IB charts.
