I don't know all of the acronyms. MSRT is not recognized by me. Also, here is where a lower-knowledge individual like myself is mistaken. Even though TS is listed as software, it also says it is direct-access, so to me it appeared that the software was used if you were a brokerage...

Pardon the possible paranoia, but was that a jab at the "lazy neophyte"? Or could you honestly not find a an english link?

I am quite familiar with using the standard search here on ET and have done it many times, although, often, I can't seem to get the specific answers I need. I apologize to you Bob that I am new, but everybody here has been a newbie--and many before we could even use the internet to trade...

I didn't mean that the "broker" had the best quotes, only that the quotes among my chart provider and my broker may be different. If I was to want to sell short 100 shares of UPS at 64.5, and was waiting for an uptick, isn't it possible that I might see such an uptick in eSignal knowing my...

No... on second thought, I guess I do not need real time data for my charting (but I would want more than EOD). Still, I am not quite clear on the concept of two data feeds in the first place.....if I was to use eSignal (with Level II) and IB to trade. Correct me if I am wrong, but I would...

Hey Lobster....thanks for the earlier post on my behalf. I admit that I am still a bit in the dark here. I only now (it was quite late last night) just realized that eSignal will be another data feed, so If I am using IB + eSignal, there will be two data feeds, right? Secondly, I am still...

Well, as I said I want to take advantage of doing some intraday trades if I so desire (the sec does give me four!) + I want to do intraday position trading as well as swing trading.

I am not trading. I am PREPARING to trade. Do you make quick decisions when you are going over your data/charts and indicators during non-market hours? I am setting up a foundation that I want to work as best as possible at the best value (that doesn't mean dirt cheap), so when I am...

Sorry to keep adding to this thread, but I have been doing a 180 degree turn-around on IB thanks to Electron. However, since it is late saturday night, can anyone help me on this pricing? I am going to get the non-pro US bundle (for IB), but I want level II, so does that mean I am going...

If I do go with IB, can someone tell me what their TWS platform offers, and would going with QT be enough? Reason: although it is not crucial at this moment, I was hoping to apply some of my recent knowledge regarding fibonacci studies to price charts and really was hoping to find a chart...

Thank you for you input everyone. I am not too proud to say that while I have used traded the old Ameritrade way (web-based brokers with orders filled in 30-45 seconds), and yes, I will be mostly swing trading, I am completely unfamiliar with putting together a beginner package to trade...

I am signing up with Point Direx as my broker...they are cheap (as everyone seems to know), and reliability in the above-average area. I just want to play stocks and options (unforntunately no E-minis at the moment) for now. PD says they have a great charting package with their platinum...

First, I am new to EliteTrader, so I'd would like to say a friendly "hello" to all. I have been reading here for many weeks, so your (screen) names are quite familiar to me. I posted this questions on the Software board even though Point Direx is a broker.... My question is: can anyone...
