Hi 4Jays, you wrote : >But! I am thrilled to see that I can do both EOD and RT analysis, scanning, and intraday tracking all on a single platform. Yes, that's what I like a lot about it. I must point out only one major issue I have with AIQ. For now you can not back test...

Yes and the Matrox DUAL works Great..

4Jays, A charting program is something personal I think. However there are some very basic things and very important too which MUST be considered. - data feed reliability. QCharts is one of the good charting, and RavenQuote is much better but they both use the QFeed technology. This...

It is not always the case you can reverse something you do and make money with it. It takes first to have a systematic approach. In other words what you do [right or wrong] must always be done the same way. Otherwise it is not possible to calculate a reliable statistics about it [and...

I have only one thing to say regarding this article : AHAHAHAHAHA !!! RIDICULOUS !!! Loosers always blame someone else : daytraders, the government, brokers, institutions, the moon, the eskimos, battlefield earth... There is a lot of lying regarding the stock market, that's true. But...

Not to make a big deal out of it... I like very much eSignal data feed, specially considering the price. There are better feeds out there but they cost more too. Regarding eSignal's charting, well.. to be fair eSignal does not pretend to be a charting application, they offer charts, that's...

well, you noticed my first choice is RavenQuote with eSignal. I find eSignal very good data feed. The best for the price so far and I tried several indeed. Charting with eSignal is ridiculous, so you want to give the feed to a real charting program [that's extra bucks]. And anyway, I am now...

BYTE into the market might be fine, I tried it once I think. I did not like the proprietary user interface. You might consider RavenQuote with eSignal, AIQ RealTime [which I like very much for rule based programming]. I do not see what is wrong with WindowOnWallStreet, I used it and was OK...

Several allow you to do that. Cyber allows you multiple conditions to exit. However, They do not cancel each other, if I remember it well. I now use IB anyway, where it is rather easy to do that. You enter as many orders as you want for example :1 stop loss, 1 sell at 8%. That's 2 orders...

It is interesting to have 2 PCs. One can be a backup. However, the main disadvantage is data sharing. You must share data, at least your internet connection and eventually files between the PCs. This means install a network. If you are confortable with PCs and do not mind installing the...

I am wondering if anyone is trading index futures here [or index tracking stock] I have a few questions : - how many trades a day usually ? - for what profit target (%) ? - how many setups do you use ? Any info very appreciated.

Fleance, In IB you do not have to enter all the routes for each symbol anymore. This was a big issue on the forum and IB changed their interface. Now you can enter INTC, select anyroute for instance ISLAND. and then when you want to give your order you may specify any route available...

there is also http://www.livecharts.com/ this one also charts indices [few free streamers do]. it can chart tick data as well. for a limited time, real time is available for stocks as well.. [normally only indices and trin/tick are realtime]. it is a useful backup for me. vpineomatrix

Yeah, but for now, this 'level II' is useless for NYSE because we can't see the book. So you see exchanges and ECN but that's it. It does not give you enough information about depth. Later this year I believe, some improvements is to come from NYSE itself, opening the book. We'll see...

Def, Helpful as usual. I think this is the right way to do it. I always use Stop loss orders and sometimes stop to get in a trade on NYSE. It works very well. If you watch your system anyway, it is good to place the stop orders. I find it easy to check on my page if anything is [or...

Another utility fully automatic which improves the performance of Win98 http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/system/cb.htm this tool lets you select your machine profile. For Trading I use 'Gaming' profile.. :-) the profile reduce the disk cache and leaves this memory for your trading...

hi Jeffrey from vpineomatrix, the real issue with your laptop is Win98.. You need WinNT or Win2000. The memory management of win98 is killing your system. 256 MB should never allow you to die. until you install your new software, maybe it does take a lot of resources. Not all software is...

some accounts [I can] can see the tickers DJX and SPX. Just select these tickers with type 'index' to get proxies for S&P500 and Dow. It is better than nothing. Of course, you still need an external chart/quote in my opinion. I do use one on the side. vpineomatrix

Just curious if anyone is doing well daytrading the index trackers SPY, QQQ or DIA instead of trading index futures ? watching them for a while I can see nice market maker/specialist 'magic' blowing stops and the like. On the other hand it looks like less risky than futures but probably less...

Robert and others trading NYSE [well, I do trade NYSE only myself], what do you think NYSE Direct+ will change ? I think NYSE wants to attract more day traders but still keep the specialist/auction method. The OpenBook should be interesting too... What are your thoughts ?
