    Mbtrading site navigator and site down!!!

    Hi All, Like all of you, I was affected for the better part of today. I had a sell order go Live (around 10:15 CST), but never was executed (the start of the crash). Web site down, phones don't answer etc. After three hours I got through to the trading desk. I sold the stock then, but...

    Top Gun Software

    Hi All, I have been a paying customer (after using their free trial) since August. I also have been using their software every trading day since then, and it has paid for itself many times over. I only buy and sell equities, so I can't comment on options/futures/forex. In...

    MB Trading - who cares about P&L?

    Hello JackPearson, I am an MB Trading client. I also noticed that my PnL doesn't show commission costs or ECN fees. I am on Plan A, which means: 100 shares = $1.00 500 shares = $5.00 1,000 shares = $7.50 etc. I usually buy 1,000 share lots (equities) so a round trip for me is...

    Getting Past Blocks / Barriers

    Hello, The advice Jaronimo gives is exactly what changed my trading from losing to winning. I'll spare you the long version: Before I never used any type of stops. I would put on the trade and decide later when to sell (or cover). This was stupid (for me)! I would let my losses go...

    Hello, I used to use SortWizard (awesome product), but it requires a RealTick datafeed. I found TopGunSoftware.com has an excellent scanner that will do what you are seeking, plus a ton of other stuff. It requires a datafeed from eSignal or DTN.IQ Peabo

    DTniq, is it comparable to Esignal? Better,worse,same

    Hi All, I am currently evaluating the TopGun scanner software, and really like it. It requires a datafeed from either eSignal or DTN.IQ. In searching for info on these datafeeds, I had severe difficulty navigating the eSignal webpage to determine where the datafeed info was (there are...

    Top Gun Software

    Hello dandxg, In defense of TopGun and DTN.IQ, my situation is not unlike trying to install an application in Windows. It is expected to work on an unknown level of a Windows OS, on an unknown hardware configuration, play well along side other applications, etc, etc. I am not giving up...
