    Looking for another broker after Freetrade closes.

    I have found Ameritrade executions to fast enough provided I am hitting the bid or ask and the bid offer size is there; However, if I am adding liquidity it is a whole different story (we know where ameritrade sends those orders). I am sure the Izone account order fills would not be any better...

    Getting The Most From Ameritrade

    I read in the offer fine print that this type of account is not available to current Ameritrade clients. If that is the case, I would have to close my current Ameritrade account before signing up. I could not tell from reading the offer if I could open and use this type of account without...

    Getting The Most From Ameritrade

    Ameritrade executions are good. Ameritrade touts Streamer; But, Streamer is so slow to update quotes that it is rendered as useless. For me, Ameritrade is OK to place an order provided I have access to quotes from a source other than Ameritrade.

    Reminiscences of a Stock Operator...

    Timing was everything for JL and he seemed to know which side of the market to be on and when he bet the farm. I can only wish and hope to be a small fraction of as good as he was in the art of speculation.

    Catch the Firefox if you can.

    I had thoughts of downloading Firefox until I went to the FireFox user forum and read some of the problems users were having. I have never read about any software where users experienced as many problems and bugs. It reminds me of Linux users, the users have to love dealing with all sorts of...

    Reminiscences of a Stock Operator...

    I think it was JL's lack of control of his love for the women that caused him so many problems. He walked away from most of what he had in his two divorces. The last divorce from Dorothy him more than financially broke. It broke his spirit, drive and motivation. But, Jesse made and spent a lot...

    Does Ameritrade give Interest on Balance?

    I established a "Reserve Fund" at AT into which my cash sweeps into each night on which I earn a return on the balance. This does not require a balance of as much as $25000 to earn a return. However, the returns earned in our current low interest environment are almost nothing and are not worth...

    Dun & Bradstreet

    I have been receiving their calls for information for the last 30 years. years ago I was stupid enough to give them information of which they distorted, improperly listed, and never corrected the information when I informed them of their errors. For several years following I refused to answer...

    Commentary: oil service ETF nears 'double-top' trigger

    News events determine the chart pattern. I use charts as news events and supply vs demand seam to drive prices of things back to their mean. Could be a good day to buy OIH.

    Best Quote Feed?

    I still use RealTick version 7.6 which uses ComStock data. I have also used RealTick version 7.7 which uses data from other than Comstock. I have found RealTick 7.7 to be faster than 7.6; However, the Comstock data has far more depth of fundamental data covering several years. I am very sad to...

    Tired of TWS deleting ALL workpages

    Def, I installed a later version of TWS with the new account window on one of my machines and I sure did not like the new account window. The new account window takes up way too much screen area. I do not want to devote a whole monitor to the account window. The new account window would be OK...

    Tired of TWS deleting ALL workpages

    I am still using TWS version 795.3 from June 2003. I do not upgrade unless there are new features added that I wish to take advantage of. I trade stocks and the older version works well for me. I have also had my settings deleted several times in the past and would rather not deal with that problem.

    I need a multi-function laser printer

    I pulled additional wires to my computer room from my breaker box and installed 4-plug wall outlets to handle the extra power demands of my systems. It was the only way I was able to handle the load requirements.

    Realtick 7.7

    I have RealTick 7.7 installed on my Win 2000 system. I did not like the data support for 7.7. So, I put one of my old hard drives with Win 98 and RealTick 7.6 back into my trading computer. RealTick 7.6 is getting data from the old servers. RealTick 7.7 would be OK if it added new functionality...

    Help New Realtick!!

    I upgraded to RealTick 7.7 and did not like the data source used on the 7.7 servers ( could not get lots of the information that I had been getting from the Comstock data used on the RealTick 7.6 and prior versions). So, I went back to using RealTick 7.6. When I can no longer get the Comstock...

    May not solve the problem but I would jumper your hard drive the same as the one I removed from the second computer for a start.
