    The End of an Era: X_TRADER®’s Final Sunset

    @GRULSTMRNN: I agree with you perspective on std dev bands over VWAP. They know how X_Study calculates it; it would not be so time-consuming replicating the same logic in TT. Would you suggest a trader to use MDTrader and check a sound alert on a smartphone for data alerts?!! My mate reading...

    The End of an Era: X_TRADER®’s Final Sunset

    TT platform: after 3 years and half after its launch, the trader still cannot play a sound with an alert manager linked to a bid/ask/volume/price threshold.

    Moving on after Zenfire: CQG, TTnet or Rithmic?

    Talking about experiences on feeds without specifing the software does not make fully sense. Some API feeds are being implemented better or easier on some software vs other. For example for months CQG feed has been terrible on Multicharts environments but fine on regular CQGTrader or...

    For Windows XP Users - April 8th, 2014 - End of Support

    Microsoft is releasing some upgrades for Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8. And if you are still on the 'middle', i.e. the 7 release, the Windows Update could take forever. In this case the solution is to upgrade to IE 8 (it does not care whether you are using it as a browser; the issue is the...

    Broadband Problem / Load Balancer

    Bolinomo, Thank you for your additional comments. Given the fact not mentioned before, that I run every 5 secs a tracert to critical IPs with Pingplotter on each of the 3 PCs & VM and do not see meaningful variance in roundtrip time (when DSL is fine), probably there are no evident...

    I have DSL 10/1 Mbit with one all-in-one modem/router box. Everything derived from the original Winston piece that discussed modem / router /switch relationship when dealing with LAN and wi-fi connections scenarios. Finally Winston suggested to replace onboard NICs with Intel Pro ones and I...
