zboy Are you still with a Real Tick broker? Or are you getting the software from PCQuote or S&P Comstock? I noticed that PCQuote offers Real Tick, but it's version 6.0. Is there a major difference between that version and 7.0?

xll Does Nextrend's free service have real time charting? I'm looking at the website, and it says their free service has delayed quotes, so I wonder how the charting can be real time.

Does Signal's charting continue during the after hours session?

Thanks for the replies. My actual concern was that I would lose my M2M status if I didn't continually elect.

I can't find an answer to this anywhere. Does anyone know whether you have to elect every single year? Or just the first year?

I filled out form 3115 (application for change in accounting method) for year 2000 last April. Is this something you have to fill out every year? Or is your tax status permanently changed until such time as you would no longer need to elect?

I don't trade NYSE stocks, but one of the guys interviewed in the book Electronic Trading Masters trades them. You may want to read the whole chapter, but here's an excerpt that confirms what rtharp was talking about: You have to see how a listed stock is going up or down in price...

Have you tried using REDI? It uses the same order routing algorithm.

Here's a list of all the brokers I've found who charge a per share fee, with no minimum ticket charge http://www.interactivebrokers.com/ http://www.tradescape.com/ http://www.holdbrothers.com/ http://www.tradersarsenal.com/ http://www.echotradeonline.com/ http://www.broadwaytrading.com/

I've also looked everywhere for a per share commission schedule. All I've been able to find is Broadwaytrading and Hold Brothers, but neither offers integrated charting. TradersArsenal is $.01125/shr NYSE and $.0225/shr Nasdaq. They are a REDI Plus broker, which has charting that is inferior...

It doesn't seem to be significantly different. If anyone is using their platform for informational purposes only (i.e. not trading) and just paying $100/mo for the software, it's now $200/mo.

Didn't realize you were trading NYSE stocks.

I'm curious, has anyone been following Waxie for a really long time (like a year or so)? I've been getting his emails for about 6 months, and he's been on the money about the market the whole time. Doesn't mean he's a guru necessarily; there are people from time to time who seem to be able to...

Speedracer Are you trading in house? From the website it sounds like they offer Real Tick charting to in house traders only. I saw that they have a lot of proprietary order entry functions, like the blast key that you mentioned. Do these complete orders just as quickly if you would enter...

I'm thinking more along the lines of an intraday trend. You look at one of your charts, it's in a definite trend, whether up or down, and you jump on board. I don't mean one that is going up or down violently, so you can't even jump on without paying a large premium, but a nice, steady trend. Is...

Kevin Can't answer your immediate question, but I was wondering what you meant when you said you couldn't trade 100 shares at a time. Do you mean you need to trade more shares or fewer shares? Regardless, you can trade any share amount, whether it's 1 share or several thousand, through IB. If...

dlincke I've hardly used ARCA with IB, so thanks for your experience with it. Your mention of REDI brings up an interesting question. I've always heard that REDI does the same thing that ARCA does, first attempting to match within its own book, then looking at all other ECNs, then...

How come Oliver Velez isn't in that chatroom? Does he run a separate siwng trading room or something?

I'm a little confused about pricing with esginal. I haven't been to their website in a while, but I remember something about the pricing only including 50 symbols or something, and then if you wanted more symbols it was extra (like a lot extra.) Does that mean I would only have access to 50...
