    If you were to build your dream trading computer

    surprisingly, it's not that expensive https://cx1.cray.com/configurator/ConfigureBOM.aspx?opt=234&state=1113 I can make $8,903.00 a day but I'm not sure about real advantages using it without some really expensive sofisticated software... Oh, I know one -- it can probably replace my oil...

    IB get your head out of your XXX and fix the charts

    it's what I used, initially for free (with some scarce limitations), then paying $60/yr for full version. Actually, I hate that QuoteTracker is mostly oriented to Ameritrade customers, and even paid version is castrated a little bit. Also, you cannot program much strategies in Quotetracker...

    IB execution on live versus paper trade

    simulation account is the same as real one, at least in my tests, and I ran a lot of them. don't confuse simulation account with free edemo/demouser account that it's totally different and pretty slow (and it's just fine, because it's for IDE/API testing for ppl/software developers without...

    IB backfill stinks!

    I saw some significant improvement during some period of time. Unfortunately, I cannot tell that it's consistent, and, ironically, it's especially slow and/or even does not work at all, at the moments just then you need it badly the most :). Still, I love them... :)

    Help on bracket orders using IB

    personally, i hate ANY systems/utilities/software where author(s) pushes me around to pay regular monthly fee. I'd rather pay much more money ONCE, i.e. even bigger lumpsum value, because, in the long run it's MUCH MORE REASONABLE (AND CHEAPER) way to do things. Any software lease is kinda...

    IB BookTrader Bracket Order Adv. Mode

    by the way, it would be nice to have an ability to program (at least a bit) stoploss and/or target in bracket order(s), using some sort of ATR(X) function. I'm sure, it's not too diffficult for IB team just to add this feature (better interface to BookTrader specifically). Otherwise, it's...

    IB TWS alternative

    I hope it would not be a trick kinda adding new "free" software/feature, and increasing commission ( immediatly, or a bit later). Otherwise I definitely gonna leave IB with all new bells and whistles of the new "free" application. Any potential increase in the existing commission immediately...

    IB TWS alternative

    ok, QuoteTrader is free etc. but, when clicking the provided url, it redirecits to http://www.esignal.com/esignal/esignal_ondemand.aspx and there is no any QuoteTrader anymore. I managed to find the url to upgrade/download QuoteTrader 2 in elitetrader.com, and not anywhere else. When I...

    Losing All Your Possesions

    in response to the post about "thing" after life, after and between- lives and regressions etc.... Well, because we, guys, are rather in another business, kinda trading :) I should to point out the following important, but somehow forgotten line in the provided source about "past life" etc...

    question for stradle traders?

    probably, all we need to do is to compare not just historic and implied volatility, but impled volatility with itself. even if something is 70% does not mean it cannot not spike to 120% in some conditions by the way, VIX is way cheap. some can expect it to be more expensive, looking at...

    Options Question: Max Risk

    his options were OTM and jumped into ITM at the very end of expiration Friday. So, Monday, he was exercised. A call is the right (not obligation) to buy stock at strike price. But there is the special rule of autoassignment working in the moment of expiration. Even just 1 cent or something...

    IB SPY SMART or AMEX ???????

    it's true, probably, only during a trade session, and not AFTER MARKET where you have to be more picky because of poor liquidity etc. in the new release TWS, it's also help to checkmark (the hidden, and non-checked) checkbox "dark pools" (i don't remember exact name -- from the top of my...

    SPY has broken all support - market crash imminent

    well, technically, i see all this as the unfinished part of the bearish flag, i.e. pennant. and, at the left side of it -- long negative pole of the flag. probably, after FINISHING the pennant part (flag itself), i.e. moving up a little, we could potentially expect (if technicals gonna...

    Tradestation no longer available to Canadians??

    Your kind angels sitting on your right shoulder just made this right choice easier for you. Get rid of TradeStation and open the new brilliant world of possibilities you had been deprived for so long! :) Good luck. Some good ppl need a light kick in the ass to go to the right direction

    Losing All Your Possesions

    my take on all this is as follows -- I don't consider money at all. For me, it's like a game with points. It makes psychologically much easier to settle among narrow set of right decisions and key rule, DISCIPLINE. After all, it's not the lunch and/or even breakfast money. If you win...

    Overleveraged into GOOG/BIDU/RIMM/AAPL/MELI

    sure, APPL gonna reach 200, but your money should work be used as as effective as possible all the time why don't you buy on pullbacks/retracements as all normal ppl do? or you think all these stock gonna move in the straight line and stable angle all the time? fundamentals are helpful...

    MultiCharts financial policy sucks and scary!

    Now, StealthTrader is really stealth, at least for me, because he is added to my ignore list.

    MultiCharts financial policy sucks and scary!

    Hey, I know I'm not perfect, but you're just crazy. 

First, Amibroker does not have so many features, and second, I just mentioned that it is much faster out of my experience. But, as mentioned by others, this issue has been addressed in the new release of MultiCharts.

Because...
