'Seems you guys are after MarketWatch.com's business? I find their content more interesting to read and more comprehensive, helpful.

Connection has been going down 1-3 times a day usually around the same time always 1-2 hrs before market close. Their tech guy came by last week and replaced the modem, adjusted the cable, etc. but problem continues. Come 11:30am-1:00pm Pacific time, the damn cable internet goes down for 3-5...

With most software program settings as well as broker orders, it's usually the last trade price that sets off a stop. However, with some programs, you may choose to have the bid or ask be the "trigger". Most often though, it's the last sale price.

It's as if they're admitting their traditional trading edge is gone and so they're becoming investors, no?

So...if you guys went out of business, what would the trader be left with? Nothing?

If that were the case, who'd be stupid enough to trade with them other than on a cash basis?

Too many sharks and not enough food. They end up biting each other. It just PROVES that it was NOT their talent that made profits in the past but the market environment!

I wanted to know if you're an advancedGet or eSignal shill. Doesn't sound like you are. :p As for EOD Elliot Waves? It's an illusion. Try using other stuff instead. You'll probably do better. Elliot wave fools you into thinking you can predict the market but when you're in trading range for...

Anybody who thinks about daytrading with <$25K is an idiot, especially in this era where a bank CD almost has more volatility than the crappy market!

How's it a "business", if you're not selling anything?

Frenchy, Do they have horse races on France? You'd probably do better betting on the ponies!

Do people place orders thru the bloomberg machine or is it only for quotes?

Ok. Would any of you Bloomberg users care to share the advantages of using their service over run-of-the-mill retail types like esignal or dtn? What do you get out of it that the others don't even offer? (I'm especially interested in international equities) How about cost for a 1 user...
