@kmgilroy89: supposing for an instant is not Sterling Trader Pro, I would check: - Network Interface Card: settings on - force Gigabit Master - force Full Duplex 1 Gbps or 1000/1000 - disable TCP Checksum Offload IPv4 - disable Green Internet - disable TCP/IP 6 if you don't need it - disable...

@GRULSTMRNN: I agree with you perspective on std dev bands over VWAP. They know how X_Study calculates it; it would not be so time-consuming replicating the same logic in TT. Would you suggest a trader to use MDTrader and check a sound alert on a smartphone for data alerts?!! My mate reading...

rb7, what's the advantage vs a typical Teamviewer solution?

TT platform: after 3 years and half after its launch, the trader still cannot play a sound with an alert manager linked to a bid/ask/volume/price threshold. Ditto for sending an email, basic smtp function. ADL is needed for such a basic feature. C'mon! Also there is no full support for RTD on...

Aren't you willing to address Cornix question? It would be appreciated. Thank you.

That's called partecipation rate, actually the lowest since 1978 or so.

Talking about experiences on feeds without specifing the software does not make fully sense. Some API feeds are being implemented better or easier on some software vs other. For example for months CQG feed has been terrible on Multicharts environments but fine on regular CQGTrader or...

Good question, they usually say: test the robustness with statistics ;) Let's hear the OP reply.

The matter of fact in these cases, is the 'new Zenfire' is in developing mode (stating that in kind words) and the Customers are paying the price. But Mirus, too...

ya, what's happened to him and agilitytrading?

Microsoft is releasing some upgrades for Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8. And if you are still on the 'middle', i.e. the 7 release, the Windows Update could take forever. In this case the solution is to upgrade to IE 8 (it does not care whether you are using it as a browser; the issue is the...

Bolinomo, Thank you for your additional comments. Given the fact not mentioned before, that I run every 5 secs a tracert to critical IPs with Pingplotter on each of the 3 PCs & VM and do not see meaningful variance in roundtrip time (when DSL is fine), probably there are no evident...

Bolinomo, Thank you for the detailed reply. I appreciated your help. About the TJ splitting hardware practice, everything began from these links: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=postid=3419343&postid=3419343 “Computers should never be plugged directly into routers...

Thanks for this announcement. When the actual implementation? AMP web site still does not show traces of Rithmic products and solutions.

Bolinomo, Ok -- we have excluded 'gadgets', and buses plenty of kids looking for a wifi connection ;) But I would like to clarify this excerpt: >> Since you are not sharing the network with any other device, none of the switch/router functions applies in your case.>> I did not say...

I have DSL 10/1 Mbit with one all-in-one modem/router box. Everything derived from the original Winston piece that discussed modem / router /switch relationship when dealing with LAN and wi-fi connections scenarios. Finally Winston suggested to replace onboard NICs with Intel Pro ones and I...
