Running 4 CRT monitors with 7500 PCI and 8500 AGP with windows 2000 Pro. Runs good. Would not work reliably on Windows 98. I would caution unless you already have the ATI units, that I used to be able to call tech support but cannot get a live person anymore. But I would guess that most of...

Appreciate the recommendations.

First of all would you get the 58 key model or the 20 key model? Would you get the PS2 cable model or the USB model (which requires software). When using the Xkeys, I assume you must also have to use the the regular key pad to change the symbols on the charts and order entry window. How...

So what was the final result? PD or IB and what charting package?

Good Thread. Much appreciated. How do you set up and receive your alerts and what is the program? Thanks

The IB fee schedule lists "Additional fee for API equity directed order." According to IB support, this would be like Ninja trader and the extra fee is $1.20 per order. So when you consider all of this, IB is not actually cheaper on equities if you want better execution, is it?

I don't know about futures alternatives, but for equities, Pointdirex supplies level2 and some basic charting, etc. for $39.95 per month and only charges .005 plus ecn pass throughs. Correct me if I am wrong, for the same from IB you pay $10 plus $20 for level 2, and IB only has rudimentary...

I checked out the site on the power supplies. It does not indicate the noise level of the fan. Is yours quiet? Thanks

Just talked to ETG and the new fee schedule is as follows: no minimum ticket charge and .009 pershare commission plus ecn pass throughs. Data feed, software and charts: 0 to 20k shares per month $250. 20 to 50k shares per month $125. over 50k shares per month $0. Instinet still does the...

I'm glad you started this thread, because I'm looking for an alternative platform and broker for scalping, and started the poll to see what other scalpers are using. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=23757 I want a proactive order routing with instant and fair fills...

I've also been with IB 4 years and had modest success if I had another source of charts and L2. But felt it was cumbersome for me to be able to direct orders to a particular ECN or MM, and then to set the stops etc. Right now this morning I have been waiting for IB to log on for over 15...

I have used protrader GR8 before ETG bought them out. The platform cost was $250 per month (which includes your data feed and your charts and chart studies) and the minimum ticket charge was $4. So if you scaled in and out and were looking for small profits, the commissions were too much. I...

I am happy with my new Antec Sonata case. It was about $100 with the power supply. It's rated low noise and I replaced the case fan with a lower noise db variable speed drive fan, controlled by a Nexus fan controller. Also installed two paralell low noise hard drives. Overall much quiter...

Would you answer a question about hypersnap-DX? I saw that your graph was captured by Hypersnap, so I downloaded a trial version and saved your chart. Unfortunately when I opened the chart back up after saving it, the Snap program header called Paint still is in the background after I...

Unrestrained thinking, could be the foundation for making a good trader. Quote from pspr: The IRS and God - your two biggest problems! Or are there others we don't know about? You make a great contrarian - always zig when the rest of the world zags and to h*ll with what is right. No...

I've found a few prior threads on ET mentioning data feed speed possibly being slow at times with Tradestation. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=337738&highlight=tradestation+slow#post337738 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=355229#post355229...

I have downloaded 6.0 The main problem I see is that there are at least 2 inches on top of the screen that are usesless wasted space with the heading bar. Especially for multiple monitors. I want to use all the available space possible. You should undock the header (control box) and let it be...

If M3 is the total national US money supply and it contracted, does this mean some of the money supply went out of the country in trade deficits and or foreigners cashing in and taking dollars out of the US or dollars flowing out of the US in some form or another? If so then there is less...

I am beginning to think, judging by the lack of votes on this poll, that perhaps scalping is not as popular as it used to be, before decimaliztion and the elimination of fractions.
