I think PATSystems J-Trader is Java based. I have not used it but remember seeing it as one of the trading platforms offered by Global Futures.

Yes, go to QuoteTracker site and you will find the cost of the DTN choices. I have used QuoteTracker for several years without DTN feed. I use IB for futures data and AT for the balance of my data. QT has worked great.

IB is the one brokerage account I would not want to be without. I think IB has the best and safest brokerage and clearing service on the planet. For me, IB's great service begins with the safety and security of the account. I have had an account with IB for eleven years.

Phxtrader, Did you fill out any paper work with IB saying you had no option experience? If you only told IB you had no option experience in a verbal conversation, you should still be able to fill out an IB option account application. IB is in my opinion the best broker but if you really have to...

If you have not searched "Amazon Books", do a search for tape reading and you will get a list of several books. I bought and studied several of the books on the list in the past. I suggest doing a Amazon search for the two books by James Dalton on "market profile" (Mind over Markets and Markets...

Yes, it is a lot of wishful thinking. However, IB's java based charts will never meet my needs and requirements.

If TDAT shuts down QT, IB should buy it, write their own similar or better charting program, or team up with Jerry Medved on launching an IB charting program. I had free access to RealTick for years and switched over to QT because it is much better software.

I also do the same as you and write all zeros to the HD disk using the HD manufactures disk utility that came with the HD or download the utility from the HD manufacture. This restores the HD to the condition as when received from the HD manufacture.

If Peterffy can't use features because they have been patented, he will better them. I thinks IB will come up with something equal to or better. This may take some time for IB to solve.

I have been trading since 1972 and have been through these game changing events many times. I expect the same thing to happen with Interactive Brokers if Peterffy sell and leaves. Seldom can a great company or service continue without the person who created the greatness. I hope Jerry Medved...

Typical of a bunch of stupid high level TDAT managers making bad decisions. The only reason I have kept my TDAT account is QuoteTracker. Time will tell but with Jerry and Mike gone that may be the end of the great reliability and service of QuoteTracker. All good things come to an end! Thanks...

IB has been my favorite broker for more than 10 years. The functionality and ability to extensively customize TWS is on the top of my list of why IB is my favorite broker. Equally important are the safety and security of my IB account holdings.

There has not been a new license issued for a commercial nuclear power plant in the USA since 1975. This is because of the efforts of an anti-nuke group at the time called the "Interveneors". The construction of nuke plants for the Navy were unaffected.

I spent 1967 through 1984 designing and doing the stress analysis of nuclear reactor vessels, pressurizers and the connecting piping of the primary systems for nuclear power plants. The designs for the pressurized water nuclear power plants used in the USA are safe. I live three miles down wind...

Only the engineers designing the deep water drilling hardware know what the risk of deep water drilling are and can best decide what can be done to minimize the chances of a repeat of this disaster. The politicians in Washington know nothing about solving technical problems and are corrupted by...

Have you looked at QuoteTracker? I think it is about $120 per year for non TD Ameritrade clients.

I have had great luck buying with eBay. I have bought 6 used Matrox MMS cards with eBay. They were a fraction of the new price and all are still working great.

I have run Matrox single cards and MMS dual and quad cards in trading PCs for years and I think they work well and Matrox has great driver support. I have run 3 Matrox quad cards in one PC with 12 monitors for years with no problems.

There should be nothing about the transfer that would change your tax reporting (normally first in first out "FIFO") if you do manual entries into your IRS schedule D. IB will show the opening date of your incoming securities as the date IB receives your account. IB will also show your opening...

A clearing firm that is functioning as a retail broker while at the same time the clearing firm is providing clearing services for introducing brokers has a conflict of interest. The clearing firm must set the commissions for their on internal company run retail broker business at a higher rate...
