I was on IB's website and stumbled upon this app. I downloaded the evaluation copy and it seems pretty good. I wanted to (a) find out if anyone else was using it and (b) find out how you like it. Thanks in advance. E.

excuse my ignorance, but how do you use thcode with the excel spreadsheet???

I just started using TransactAT and its almost too simple. Clean and straightforward.

never traded rice - can anyone give a brief synopsis of what that market is like? bid/ask spreads? slippage? daily range?

this thread should be renamed - Soybeans to the moon. Wheat, Corn and Oats will not be making the trip anytime soon. but then again, what do i know???

Recently soybean oil travels the same road as crude oil - take a look.

wow - this is good stuff. do either of you have websites???

why wait till it drops below 700??

are you all going short on "gut feelings"? or are you using some sort of system/indicator (RSI?) to tell you when to initiate your short position??? just curious...

short term its been weeks of whipsaws - be careful. :-)

I have been watching soybean oil for a while and have even placed a few small (very small) trades. I just wanted to know if anybody else has been actively trading soy oil. Thanks!

Has anyone tried using mac os x and windows trading tools at the same time? For example have 2 instances of TWS open - one under mac os x and one open in windows?

I use InvestorRT and autotrader although i don't use them together. I just look at charts on IRT and then enter my stops and targets using AT. I don't care for the DTN data feed as its sometimes flakey, so I get all of my data pulled in from IB. Works flawlessly for me on a macbook with an...
