My computer has 3 separate drives. Only 2 GB is allocated to my C drive, and my other 18 GB is on D and F. I'm out of disk space on C, and I'm trying to figure out how to use the 18 GB I have left. I've moved some stuff that I never use over to D. However, anything that I do use that I try to...

janko It sounds like you're suggesting the eSignal is not reliable. Is this correct? I've found it to be extrememly reliable. I haven't used level 2 yet, but I haven't heard anything bad from anyone about that either. (There was a thread earlier where a guy was having a delay in the morning...

I've pretty much tried the same ones you have. Plus I've used Real Tick and other direct access platforms. Real Tick is the best, but sounds like you don't want to spend that kind of money. Don't expect too much for under $80. You get what you pay for.

So IDT would be a candidate if it had a range today of say, 7 points or so?

I tried it for a month a while back. I remember being very unimpressed. I can't remember why. I keep a spreadsheet on all the services I try out, and write down notes why I decided not to continue with each, but I don't see it on there. I have another spreadsheet on my second computer, but I...

Just started following this thread, Is IDT the kind of stock that fits your pattern? Down over 40% on triple average volume. I can't find news on it for today, so I don't know if something else is going on.

aTrader Just to clarify, are we talking about stock trading?

If you're still looking http://www.tickdata.com has intraday data. It's $18 per year per symbol I believe. There's another data provider that I know of, but I can't remember who it is off the top of my head. Will post if I remember

How can someone in the futures pits tell what MLCO is doing? Do they mention specific stocks? I assumed they just commented on the S&Ps.

There have been a lot of posts lately about what to look for in a direct access broker. Not regarding software or costs, but stability issues such as having adequate servers to handle all remote clients, redundancy, etc. To those of you who understand this stuff a little better, what...

The more I study the market, the more I realize that's true. I was studying some of David Nassar's stuff, and he talks about trying to determine who's in control--buyers or sellers--before any associated price move. I had hoped that Mercenary would be able to detect that somehow.

I did the routine I mentioned earlier in the thread just twice now. I wasn't impressed either time. I realize that 2 days isn't much data to go by, but I checked quite a few stocks both from the long and the short side those days. I think I have the program 1 more day, so I may try it again...

rhtarp I realize you can get one minute charts. What I meant was that you can't just pull up a chart that's one day long, 2 days long, etc. Most platforms allow you to do that. Instead, you have to tweak the chart until you get it approximately the length of a day. Then if you switch to a...

The big problem with this platform is the charting. I'm comparing it to Real Tick charting, where you can customize it any way you want to. Anyway, here is a list of the problems I have with the charting. 1)You can't have more charts than level 2 boxes. You can only get a chart if it's linked...

I trade at home and have an account through the Great Neck, NY office. I think they all have different rules.

Onsite Trading. As long as you keep your balance over $15K, there are no software fees. $25K minimum to open an account.

Hey guys, as moderator of this forum I have to suggest that if we get off topic and start discussing Front End/Virtual Trader, or other platforms, that we start a new thread. This is a thread to discuss Redi Plus. I will delete these posts if we continue to veer off subject. Thanks.

SOES is an automatic, instantaneous execution as long as you are executing within the SOES rules. (not trying to SOES above the tier size, not trying to SOES twice on the same side on the same security within 5 minutes.) I have used SOES with IB, and it executes instantaneously. The problem with...

tom p I won't be trading with Hold Brothers until 6/1. I will try to update the following week. Still using Redi Plus for quotes until then. I'll still keep my Redi account, because I'm not paying software fees. I always like to keep more than one software platform open at one time in case I...

Tab I assume you don't have multiple monitors? I just keep all my windows open all the time. Too time consuming to minimize and switch windows all the time. I still use Redi Plus, but just I don't trade with it that much. As soon as I get my account set up with Hold Brothers, I will only need...
