    Air Conditioners/Cooling

    How many sq ft are you going to cool? I installed 3 window air conditioners in my house several years ago and have never had any condensate drips. In the old days there was always condensate to deal with. Your unit should have a squirrel cage blower for the evaporator and a blade type fan for...

    Penson still is working on correcting everyone's 1099's? Has anyone else heard that?

    The IRS is going to have a real good time reviewing and reconciling trader's schedule D for 2011 and forward. Congress should eliminate the IRS wash sell reporting requirements for simplicity. Congress is always out to try and bleed every dime out of their subjects. Their will be no positive...

    Penson

    Penson has dug themselves into a financial hole from which they will not escape intact. They lost 233M or $8 a share of common last year. This company has obviously been mismanaged from its inception. The company leaders take pay/year of 305K to 737K to create a corporate financial disaster for...

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    I think the error message is what you want to see when you run your test url. If you get a security warning pop-up box and a certificate warning when you run your url test, that would be a problem. IE 8 should not have a certificate problem. Are you saying you have IE8 on the PC that is not able...

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    There are many QT long time user who are now using this patch. The patch has solved your backfill quote problem so open the QT program and see. I have used this and two previous patches during the past year to keep my QT program going and the patches have all worked.

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    While I think that is speculation, I am sure it will take someone not under a non-compete contract to write/own a new program that will meet the needs of current QT users as well as future users that subscribe to the new program. We can hope for a solution in the future.

    QuoteTracker being shut down for good?

    If you properly applied the latest qtfix.zip patch, you should have access to the TDA data because you have a TDA account. If you want to use IB data, you will need to open an IB account + the current patch you have installed. Check QT > Options > Data Source to make sure your data sources are...

    QuoteTracker being shut down for good?

    Open an account with TDA and/or IB to receive cheap/free data. Works best to have an account with both firms. I use both TDA and IB. IB works well for futures data.

    Could you need to change your file options settings to show hidden and protected files during the overwrite/replace step? maybe disable anti virus? Could you need to be logged on as administrator? QuoteTracker Program is closed and not running? I am sure someone here will know what you need to do.

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    I placed the qtfix.zip file in the C:\Program Files\QuoteTracker folder, right clicked on the qtfix.zip, chose to extract to the C:\Program Files\QuoteTracker folder, and chose yes to all to overwrite files to complete the patch. This should have worked for you if that is what you did. Be...

    Praise to those who write these QT patches. We can now again move forward into the unknown.

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    Was the QT patch not a patch? I have the older patch qtfix.zip 3870 KB installed and I have the same backfill problem. I noticed a different patch file number for download, qtfix 12-2011.zip 3987 KB, but I do not know what the differences in the new and old patches are.

    Penson

    I agree with rmorse's post above in that there is much to like about an account cleared through Penson. I like the way Penson has client accounts setup with futures account cash sweeps each night to the brokerage account side, check writing privileges, and access to client account records at...

    Penson

    With the size of Penson's consecutive negative earnings reports, I do not see how Penson has avoided insolvency and bankruptcy. I expect Penson to sell out to a stronger clearing firm who wants Penson's client accounts provided all of the client's funds can be accounted for. While Penson's...

    MBTrading Problems

    I think MBT has been gathering and reviewing all of the information with respect to this market data confusion problem before deciding how to handle their affected clients. Sure looks like you will not be charged for any of the past subject data since you did not sign any data contract...

    This is what MBT should have done at the same time they first implemented each of the pricing changes. Thank you for letting us know.

    MBTrading Problems

    I have an email account number I use for correspondence only with MBT. I have checked this account and found no such email in the in-basket, spam folder, or trash folder. I do not think MBT sent this email to me. Market data fee subscription agreements are contract agreements. If a broker...

    MBTrading Problems

    What you explained for the COMEX $61 fees is exactly what happened to me. As of 10/07/11, COMEX full quotes were shown as free on MBT website and in MBT Client Account Market Data Subscriptions. At some point in time after 10/07/11, MBT changed the COMEX fee wording from free to what you now see...

    IB Security Device lost by USPS - cost me $40

    I use certified mail to send demand notices to crooks in order to have the receipt showing I sent the notice to the last known address. I have learned if you want to loose a piece of mail, send it certified mail. I have had good luck with priority mail but prefer UPS or FedEx for the important...
