etrade sucks. not only is their platform a joke, their executions pathetic, and their commissions a total ripoff, but a long time ago when i opened an account with them (before i was interested in trading) i wanted to close the account, and it took a better business bureau complaint for me to...

i know nothing about programming, nor do i really want to learn. can somebody tell me how reasonable it would be for me (smart guy, took a pascal course in college) to pick up a vbasic book and write an order entry program with hotkeys for an internet broker, such as datek? thanks

That's funny. I don't use cybertrader but I do run ravenquote, spread out on 3 screens (2@19" & 1@17"). I keep 23 charts open at all times, and one level 2 box. Plus I've been trading through Datek, which requires several open browser windows, including an applet, and I'll often open addt'l...

got it. thanks. please no additional messages.

hi, does someone out there want to refer me for quicken quoteslive? you get $30 and I get 30% off my first month. thanks ken i will take the first person who sends me a private message about it.

I've tried the IB java demo, and there is no opportunity to decide where you'd like to send your order; the only option I've seen in the demo and the tutorial is to choose between BEST and NASDAQ. How would you send an order to ISLD or INCA???

I've been using datek + ravenquote, which isn't bad if you only trade nasdaq thru island. Since the SEC has seen fit once again to screw us with the new margin rules, I'm thinking about moving to the new tradestation brokerage platform since I now have to pony up at least 25k to day trade...

this is totally illegal. even if you and another person conspire to do it in two separate accounts. check out NASD's website - they have a specific pdf on it.

I don't see why not. Matrox also claims on their website that you need to have an intel-based system to run the g450 cards, which in my experience was not the case. if you want the g450 PCI (which is a solid dual card at a good price IMO, although I haven't tried any other dual cards) hurry...

Hey, I'm fairly new to St Louis and would like to know if there are any traders in the area. Thanks Ken

yes, if you have a g450 AGP and a g450 PCI that you also want to install, do them ONE AT A TIME first download the most RECENT win2k drivers from matrox.com next when you restart win2k, it will detect the card and want to install drivers for it - click cancel and do not let win2k...

Has anyone actually opened an account with them and traded since Tradestation began offering a brokerage service??? What was execution like, both in speed and how easy it is to type in an order? Please mention computing power and internet connection type with any replies, as well as whether...

hey guess what as relatively small individuals we cannot do anything about the fact that the big players control the markets. this will always happen. guess where the whole pattern day trader thing started and ended - in the senate, that "millionaires club" who is not in our pockets, but in...

hey, i don't think you can do two g400's, since matrox only makes an AGP g400. the g450 comes in a PCI version, so you can add as many as you want. i run a g450 AGP and a g450 PCI in win98 and win2k, and they are very stable, although it was a pain to get them to install correctly in win2k pro.
