Dustin is referring to being able to view the entire INCA book, as opposed to just best bid and ask.

$5/trade difference may not seem like much, but $20 is 33% higher than $15. Just 100 trades/month is $24K in commissions annunally vs $18K.

Hey guys, I moderate this forum. I don't see anything wrong with the discussion that's going on, but we're getting way off topic, which is EchoTrade and the new margin rules. Feel free to start a new thread if you want to discuss the advantages of trading with a prop firm.

BTW the other major step to opening an account with Echo is their application. rtharp says it's like 500 pages. Anyone know how much time is involved?

We had a discussion on this a while back if you want to read through a few pages http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=1432

One I'm familiar with is http://www.wintick.com/6_0/home.asp This is ASCTrend from AbleSys. They have an impressive track record, which they give you trade by trade. Unfortunately, I went back and looked back at all their backtesting, and the entry/exit prices they listed in their backtesting...

There has been a lot of discussion on these boards regarding Millennium Traders. Just do a search.

I don't work for IB, but have traded hunderds of thousands of shares with them. I can attest (as can several other traders on this board who use them) that there is no way they get payment for order flow. You route your orders directly to the market.

I'm pretty sure you can get a 5-minute chart 30 days back on eSignal. It's either 5 or 15 but I was thinking it's 5.

This will be my first year filing as a trader. (I filed an extension) Any positive or negative experiences using different firms for tax preparation?

Do any of you guys with accounts at Hold have problems with your cash transactions? I sent them $1400 over 3 weeks ago to cover a margin call and it still hasn't hit my account. Plus I didn't get interest for June even though I had my account funded by the end of May. I don't have much...

I'm pretty sure they never opened for business. We'll probably never hear from them again.

Is something funky going on with time & sales today after hours? I'm looking at HOTJ, which is being purchased by TMPW for about $12/shr. There are some trades between 11 and 12 after the announcement, and then there are thousands of shares listed as being traded between 6:19 and 6:21 at about...

Dustin If I'm not mistaken, you got right in at the bottom on PMCS. I played it too, but I waited until I got confirmation that it was going up before I bought. I'm just wondering how you picked out that price. It seems to me like you could have gotten hit pretty hard had it tanked. I was...

I think I'm going to go ahead and take the plunge. Before I invest the time and money to get my Series 7, I'm trying to make sure I know all the negatives involved. I know about the risk of putting your money in an LLC with no insurance, the professional exchange fees, the SOES rule. I guess...

1) Too many server disconnects. Happened to me twice today in about a 5 minute period. 2) Can't trade by clicking prices in the level 2 box. 3) I can't link Graybox and RT3. I can link the level 2 boxes, but that doesn't really do anything for me. I want a chart to come up when I type in a...

I'm throwing in the towel. I just don't think they're ready for remote trading.

I remember earlier this year a bunch of traders talking about how they made all kinds of money when Greenspan made a surprise cut of 50 basis points. It seems to me one guy on this thread said he made like a 20% return that day. Was that one only playable because it was unexpected? (I don't...

Does anyone know how to change the default date in the chart setup? I can no longer get after hours charting the way I want it because the date for some reason is automatically set to the next day. Today (6/26) my date says 6/27. I'm getting a blank chart, and I can only get the chart I want if...
