    Ensign Windows and eSignal Data

    Ensign still great.. Weird user interface though. I am still lost too many times, because I am used to other programs. However, the drawing toolbox is fantastic and fully customizable. The datafeed and charts are top quality [DBC behind for data, charts are even better than quote.com...

    Bizarre Matrox Problem

    That's what 'one desktop' means. It is a bit counter intuitive. But it works like you want it. Most programs do remember where they used to be. So next time you start them, they will open window on either monitor one or two depending on last location you used them. Each monitor is really a...

    Bizarre Matrox Problem

    Appian have very good reputation so it would be OK to go with them I am sure. I have a Matrox Dual Head and it fully satisfies me. Setup is a little awkward, but not that bad. And once configured properly this is great. I have 2 screens with 2 different resolutions and color depth, they act...

    Bizarre Matrox Problem

    mjt Under win2000, make sure you installed the newest matrox driver. older drivers won't work. If installed, in display properties you will see tabs for matrox. one is Dual Head. Make sure Dual Head multi display is selected [by default it is not!]. Click also in the same tab on the button...

    Networking Question

    When you are behind a router, you have one IP address. that's true. However, the server software can still know if you logged in several times or not. Therefore usually one account / one login, regardless of your connection type. vpiNeo

    Networking Question

    Hi Mjt, It depends on the software. Because client/server software [software connecting to a central central on another machine] may choose to accept multiple connection from the same account or not. I am not sure for Hyperfeed [the data provider behind Realtick]. As a rule of thumb, it...

    IB TWS Update

    Yes, release notes should ALWAYS be presented. It is a pity the feature disappeared from the update TWS standalone program. A reminder, it is also possible to have a sneak preview at the next short term release of JWTS there : http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/tws/aboutTWS2.html#...

    Interactive Brokers has NO respect for your privacy!

    It is annoying to read nasty comments about IB. Yes, I wondered about the email policy. And then decided I liked it. Yes, it would be nice to be able to disable it and/or charge users to receive by mail [or free for the monthly statement or something]. But coming on like this and just smash...

    Simulator, better than paper trading

    Where is it ? The simulator I know is free for everyone and does not use live data but recorded intraday data. That's usually the problem with simulators. Cybertrader has one, but I no longer am a client so...

    Simulator, better than paper trading

    Hi, I think a simulator is better than paper trading when it is possible. I sure always use it for a new strategy before throwing real greenies to the market. I found this one for futures. Very nice and free for 30 days. http://www.pfgbest.com/simulated_trading/index.asp I am still...

    Thoughts on adjusting betsize

    Martingale don't work in casinos. They don't work in stock markets either. This is imo the worst you can do.. It is a fact you will get several bad trades in a row. When you increase your size you just damage your account too much. If you also have large stop loss [if any] death comes quickly...

    New IB Webpage

    mgregor lol :) that was funny. And the old web site sucked big time [and some pages are still the same, well contents at least]. But I respectfully disagree with you. I like IB JTWS more than some other brokers' soft I used. It depends on the style of trading and the person of course.

    Is it worth watching NAZ futures if trading QQQ?

    me again, since I am familiar with this matter. You must watch the futures if you want price improvement, I mean, not pay too much or too less etc.. NDX will ALWAYS be behind. therefore, there is not much of a discussion. I think your concern is the price of the data feed. Several data...

    Trading SPY on ISLD

    QQQ and SPY you HAVE TO TRADE on ISLAND !!! Otherwise, just give your money to charity, help kids in need or something at least that will do some good. beside that, if you try to scalp these stocks you will hardly succeed. Indeed because of the spread and mostly because they are tracking...

    Ensign Windows and eSignal Data

    I just received Ensign. I agree the interface is counter intuitive. You do get the right click menu, but it is very hard to know where to go to do the things you want to do. An example, to create a chart : you need to open from file first ! But the file does not exist ! When you understand...
