    Good Data Vendor for Testing?

    CSI has a more complete coverage of world wide markets. Data can be downloaded up to 10 years. (can buy more) If you maintain your own data, you can access all history you like. Not bashing on Pinnacle, but they come free with my software, and I still have my CSI though.....

    How to hide the prices and size popup window when you click on an order line in TWS

    You should use hotkeys, you can set them up for <BIG> changes or <SMALL> changes. Configure <BIG> as 10 cents for example and <SMALL> for 1 cent. With a few clicks, you'll be at the price you like. (You can set as many hotkeys as you like) Hope this helps
