Having started this thread, I have since found out the name of the software that I had heard about last year but couldn't remember the name. Its called Trader Profile www.traderprofile.com and is offered by some brokerages for their clients. TraderProfile provides all type of statistics...

Redunzl, You didn't say what the results were of the two week trial ? Did you trade his calls and make any kachinko's ??

Tradestation has different toll free numbers for each support area they have. They have two different numbers for their trading desk. I use cable and have never had a lost connection or have the system freeze. When I first started using TS, I had to call the trading desk a couple of times...

I generally use 5 min bars but will sometimes use as long as 60 min bars. My bigger profits have come from using 60 min bars BUT the longer the timeframe the wider you need to set your stop (hard or mental) or you'll get shaken out every time. A lot also depends on the particular stock and its...

I have been using TS6 for about 6 weeks. Find executions fast and slippage minimal. Don't know how it compares to IB since I haven't used IB. I have no complaints with TS6 and like their integrated platform.

http://www.panicware.com has a free pop-up-stopper.

Just wanted to add that I had contacted Carlin a few months back to find out about their fees, payout, etc. It was like pulling teeth to get any information from them. They were intentionally vague which sent up a big red flag. Compare that to Echotrade or Bright et al who are very upfront re...

Know some retail traders that trade out of one of their NJ offices. From what I understand, Carlin charges $10 ticket charge plus ECN fees and clears through SLK. You can do much better. If you have a Series 7 (or plan on getting it), try Echo or Bright. If not, consider trading from home...

Tech Analysis, When using 60 min bars with Tradestation (which I use), it automatically sets the last bar to 30 mins. (i.e. 6 - 60 min bars and 1 - 30 min bar).

I am a Tradestation user and looking for trading analysis software that ideally could be linked to Tradestation. The purpose would be to provide analysis of trading activitiy (e.g. by period, time of day, long vs: short, profitable vs : losing trades, avg gain, avg loss, security, etc). I...

As the prior reply stated, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. My main reason for making the move from office to home was mostly based on economics. At the office I was paying ticket charges and ecn fees. For small sized trades, the cost was prohibitive. Additionally, almost...

Vinigar, See http://money.cnn.com/markets/morning_call/ . It has the pre-market fair value and Globex futures values.

Why not give TS6 a try. A slightly higher commission .012 / shr and more than just a trading platform. I have had occasion to call their trading desk on a couple of questions I had, and got through in a matter of seconds. They offer several toll free support numbers and attempt to respond...

2MoneyHungry, Thanks for the good info. I presently have only about 20% available space on my hard drive. I recently deleted a number of unwanted files and there was a noticeable improvement in speed. A second drive sounds like a good idea. I'll check out the link you...

Stuart, Tried sending you a private e-mail per your offer to get more info on the plan you mentioned and got back the message that you are not set up to receive e-mails from this board. Please send me a private e-mail with details of the plan you mentioned in your post............Thanks

I have a PII 333mhz machine with Win95 (yikes !) with a cable modem, 384M Ram, and about .5 gig free disk space. As I open up TS6 workspaces I periodically check available Ram (Settings/Control Panel/system/performace.) With each workspace I open, the available Ram drops down. By the time I...

Have been trading stocks with TS6 since 4/15 with no problems once logged on. Several times it would take a few tries to connect up to their server but once connected and logged on, it was fine. The only problem I have with TS6 is more a limitation of my RAM (384M). I find that if I have...

MBG You may be right. But I have to believe there are many other states that guarantee health insurance to their residents without allowing carriers to gouge the individuals with outrageous premiums. My understanding of the guarantee that you mentioned is that no provider (i.e. insurance...

I appreciate all your replies. We don't have any unusal medical expenses thats the part that really ticks me off. The average is 4-5 doctor's visits per year most of which is for our 8 yo daughter for the usual childhood illnesses. I'd be willing to pay all routine medical expenses and...
