if you are signing up for Level II from eSignal, then you do not need to sign up for Level II from IB. As for Quotetracker integration with XoomTrade/PointDirex, that should be completed shortly

Intrinsic, ButtonTrader, AutoTrader and some other programs can replay IB data simulating the IB datafeed. To have QuoteTracker be able to chart that data, all you have to do is start ButtonTrader instead of TWS and set ButtonTrader to replay the data on the default port for TWS (7496)...

bent_prop, IB is hardly the only broker to do it. SEC is requiring all brokers to handle cash accounts that way. Ameritrade was the first they went after during the DATEK merger. IB is not "Interpreting" the rule to your disadvantage. They are forced to do it. This issue has been beaten to...

tade_addict, the others are referring to the DATEK platform, which Ameritrade bought, but has not fully integrated yet. The ameritrade.com site only has ISLAND routing available at this time. They should be coming out with the merged site within the next couple months. The new site will have...

I have been using SpamNet since it was in early beta. They are now in production and charge $3.99 per month. It filters out 99% of the spam, though some still get through - nothing is perfect :). in the last 72 hours, it got 1444 spam messages (ok, I get a lot of email). I would highly...

nobody gives free futures quotes except for some brokers if you have an account with them

No, there are no cancelations for automated orders either. There are extra fees for ROUTED orders through the API, but thats completely different issue.

Bob111, the green/red bar you are referring to is the Pressure indicator: http://www.quotetracker.com/help/techind.shtml#Pressure. You can hide it if you want by right clicking on the chart and selecting VIEW-->Hide Pressure menu

blb078, QuoteTracker supported datafeeds that also have futures are: IQFeed - http://www.quotetracker.com/iqfeed myTrack - http://www.quotetracker.com/mytrack There are others, but they require you to have a broker account or are auto-refresh instead of streaming. IQFeed and myTrack are...

I strongly advise against upgrading TWS to 803.1 version until some issues are resolved. The new TWS version limits the # of quotes to 40 total for both API connections (QT and other apps that connect to IB) and TWS. All previous versions were max 40 for the API and max 40 for TWS (separate...

Sharp showed one way to zoom in/out. Here are 3 more: 1) use the +/- keys on the right side of the keyboard to zoom in/out and arrows on the keyboars (and page up/down) to move left/right once zoomed in. 2) zoom in to a particular area on the chart by holding down the CTRL key then...

OK, but either way, they get the data from Yahoo. Its not their own. I don't know if Yahoo supports futures and they definitely do not have intraday historical data For delayed, you can register for free at quote.com and then select them as the quote source in QT. Symbols such as: NQ03U...

Weird - now I got the page. Before, I got the correct URL in the browser, but 404 error :) Anyway, they get the quotes from Yahoo. Hardly real-time

I get a 404 error at that URL and the site mentioned is Virtual Avenue

Not sure what Hquotes pro is. Whats the full name of the datafeed? URL?

You can collect the data all you want. You can use the QuoteTracker API for it (http://www.quotetracker.com/help/qtserver.shtml). However, QuoteTracker will erase its data after 5 days. The file that stores the data cannot be read by other programs. What would be the point to keep it if it...

how are you determining that one is a buy and another is a sell?

Sigh, the virus does NOT know you are a mytrack client. Chances are that you correspond with other people who have a mytrack account. Their computer got infected so the virus is sending emails from their computer, but with bogus address, to tons of other addresses, yours included. I...

No. The virus does NOT have to be inside myTrack computer. The virus scans the user's address book, as well as cached web pages (ones the user went to) for addresses. It then sends out emails with the virus to addresses it found, with FROM address faked, but also from the list. That means that...

Those bogus looking emails are part of the email virus spread that is going around and did not originate from myTrack. The virus spoofs the FROM address.
