    scalping/swing

    IB is a very good broker with great system availability, and 95% of my experiences with their reps have been positive. Definitely go with a direct-access broker. Also, trading futures has many advantages over trading equities, and you should consider choosing a firm that offers a wide...

    ProRealTime - Charting with Java

    Their professional pricing is outrageous. The basic real-time monthly charge for a pro is $698.60 (quarterly plan), and the exchange fees are wildly inflated: $236.60 for CME, $208.60 for CBOT, $138.60 for NYMEX miNYs (they don't have access to the full-size products?).

    Futures data feed for QuoteTrader?

    IQFeed has a special rate for QT users, and it looks like it should be $20/month with no real-time data. Make sure you don't select any other software besides QuoteTracker (then it's $50/month). http://www.iqfeed.net/quotetracker/

    IB or eSignal data for AT system?

    IQFeed is an excellent data feed; IMO faster and more reliable than eSignal (personally, I wouldn't consider using IB's feed). A problem for system testing is the lack of a second stamp on the feed (my understanding as of six months ago is that they have addressed this shortcoming and a second...

    Trouble with esignal charts for NYMEX elec. crude?

    Finally got a helpful esignal support rep, but the problem is still there (they're looking into it). Both the full-size electronic crude contract (CL G7=1) and the full-size electronic nat gas contract (NG G7=1) keeping getting stuck at Friday's respective settlement prices. The backfill works...

    Trouble with esignal charts for NYMEX elec. crude?

    Anyone else? My last price on the Feb contract keeps coming through as 61.05. The BBO is okay, and the backfill is okay -- esignal support seems clueless. Thank you. Regards,
