still having same proble? I'm considering signing up which is why I ask Also, do you know if Yahoo can provide 2000 US stock symbol data simultaneously? Thanks

I'm using their trial version along with XLQ which is an excel RTD utility. I did this as a possible replacement for Tradestation 8 which I now use mainly for its Radar Screen function which quotes 2000 symbols with real time data (1000 max if historic). TS8 gives me problems. I'm baffled...

I was thinking about migrating due to the hugely expanded number of columns but your comment gives me pause BTW I'm using the trial version of DTQIN data feed with 1800 symbols..it bogs down my 3+GB dual core processor machine! There is a companion program called XLQ which makes RTD...

thanks for saving me valuable time trendmomentum I'm looking into tickerpro now. I'm surprised that Excel's RTD feature is not discussed more here since its potential seems enormous. I suspect the real time data providers have no interest in seeing it take off since they are peddling...

Anyone had experience with Market Data Link for TS8 from www.tradersoft.com? I can't get the trial version to install and I'm trying to determine if its worth my time to delve further in resolving the glitch. It supposedly allows real time data to be picked up in Excel from Tradestation...

Thanks for the excellent info Edgehunter. I've been trying to get a product from RT Soft that allegedly interfaces between Tradestation and Excel to get RTD into Excel. Its not working though. Are you limited in the number of symbols you can receive? I use 2000 which is the max...

toe and Murray's posts are the only one's that have sound logical to me here. For sure, a back-tested idea may or may not have sufficient edge in the market going forward but yet it is absolutely essential practice to back-test (I'll explain my position in a sec) For sure, an idea that...

at the risk of veering slightly off topic (I apologize in advance)... a response to ktm ktm - I don't know where in the client manger chain you are but in terms of delivering the goods to investors at a reasonable cost, I'd say these new synthetic hedge funds (aka replicators or clones) look...

it appears to me that firstly, no hedge fund manager is an unconstrained alpha hunter, incentives and disincentives get in the way of them all eg. they have masters to answer to and deadlines to meet (can't have a bad Q4, so they ratchet up the risk) Beyond a certain threshold of AUM, the...

not quite right on the Ireland retail fund Yes, hedge funds are listed on the exchanges there but there are still quite strict restrictions on what determines a QI. Do a google on "QIF" and "PIF" + "Ireland" to see,. The major accounting firms publish free industry papers on this I'm an...

sorry forgot to mention. The British national tcom provider is the Bermudan internet provider. I heard that its reliable and fast (see post about global re-insurance companies being there). Bermuda is a tax haven but to avail of that it depends on your tax residency prior to locating there...

I was there in September 2005 attending a hedge fund conference. So here are some observations. Very few traders actually there. Lots of hedge funds registered there but managed out of financial capitals (London, NY etc..) But there are a handful of hedge funds actually managed there...

I attended last year and I've been getting bombarded with emails from the organizers this year with messages like "rooms almost gone" (at the Fairmont hotel where its happening). This tells me attendance is probably down. It's a great way to corner tax and legal pros and get a lot of your...

I agree that he sounded really nervous and given his already long history of public speaking it probably won't improve. The media have not made a point of it so far but if they do, it could spiral into something damaging.

I second the comments on Thinkorswim - they alone are worth the trip to the Expo, they really know their stuff The Green Tax guys were also top notch, new and valuable stuff on the incubator concept Stan Dash from Tradestation was good as always On the negative side, what's with those...

Analyst estimate revisions contain valuable short term momentum information. The key inputs are 1) Which analyst (look for the top rated analysts in their industry - check Starmine.com for data on this) 2) By how much - i.e. large estime revisions matter most as do situations in which a...

don't use it for backtesting though, you don't know exactly when trades are assumed to be entered, and many other issues along those lines For forward looking screening though this obliterates the free screeners and I've looked at a lot of the Freebies (which are good) If you are an...

Tools and Tactics of the Master Day Trader: Absolute time wasting garbage. I bought it when I was just starting to trade and listened to its author/chief snake oil guy speak at a conference. I know better now. When asked these days about good books, I point people to Excel user guides...

Think Bloomberg type pricing - ie expensive Can't give you specific number because I could not get their sales rep to give me one He wanted to come in and make a presentation, explain the different modules and then "tailor a solution". So I guess it depends on which modules you use and...

I've been searching for good programmers for some time now in places like www.rentacoder.com and elsewhere Hey Bobcows, those 2 resources you gave look really interesting, thanks. PS I too went the India route. I was in contact with an IIT graduate who now works for Morgan Stanley in...
