Any users of ATrader here on ET. Any thoughts as to quality of ATrader?

Looks great. I am impressed. You have put a lot of time and work into the software.

I have had two Antec power supplies go out of spec (the first one was still in warranty and its replacement also went out of spec after its warranty had expired). I replaced the Antec with an Enermax which was about 2% out of spec when I received it. I am still running the out of spec Enermax...

My PC repair manuals say power supply voltages should be within 5% of nominal to meet specification standards. Out of spec voltages can sometimes cause hardware damage or data corruption. I have had to replace several power supplies over the years when I had problems as you did. It is an easy fix.

I have read about others running quotetracker under Linux using Wine with good but not 100% functionality. I plan to try this if and when Quotetracker will no longer function under Windows 2000.

I have been using Captools for many years. This is great software. My version is 160d and still does all I want to do. I do not want to sell it. Be careful in buying these old consumer versions as you my not be able to activate the software if it is reinstalled on an existing hard drive or...

Forex is the wild wild West when it comes to the IRS and taxes. You will need to keep up with your own forex transactions and IRS tax reporting. I would recommend electing to report the transactions as 1256 transactions. A Goggle search on tax reporting forex transactions will give a lot of...

I am sure you are now finding QT service and support is fast and the best in the business. Jerry will get you on track.

I can get RealTick for free, but I choose to use QuoteTracker. Ameritrade is making some very smart acquisitions.

Still using Windows 2000 and it does all I need very well. I have been trying different Linux distros, but have yet to find one I think is equal to or better than Windows. Every Linux file system manager I have tried falls well short of MS Windows file managers. I am beginning to think the free...

Sounds like comparing delayed quotes to real time quotes? I get levels 1 and 2 from TDA and two other quote sources and I have not been experiencing such noticeable delays or differences between any of the three in the last several weeks. Although, delays have happened many times over the years...

For November, MB Trading (Penson Financial) paid interest at an annual rate of 1.561%. The rate for December will most likely be less. TD Ameritrade paid about the same as MB Trading. With interest rates so low, I have to question the safety of cash reserves at each broker. My opinion for this...

Avira has a very fast data base update. If you are three days behind the curve, run the update and be glad you got the warning. I do not know how to disable the pop-up.

I agree as long as the money market fund is insured and I can get the cash out on a dollar for dollar basis. If the US government is insuring the money markets for $250,000.00, that would at least cover cash up to that amount.

I usually have a small amount of short interest paid each month that shows as a negative interest while on the same statement I will receive positive interest on the overall positive cash balance. Not a problem when holding short positions.

Cloning has saved my ass so many times during the last 12 years.

I took AVG 8 off my computers and went back to AVG 7.5 anti-malware. My AVG service terminates in 36 days and I will be switching to Avira paid version at that time.

Good News From QuoteTracker: QuoteTracker contacted me to let me know that running IB's TWS and QuoteTracker at the same time all day on every market day will not come close to triggering an over usage notification from Comcast..

I think every brokerage account I have opened has required statements of my financial status. This is to protect the broker from suits by clients.If you overstate your estimate of your financial ability, the broker is not likely to check on you to see if you lied. Of course you must satisfy...
