    Antivirus advice urgently needed....

    I did not have the long boot time until 3 years ago when I upgraded my AVG from the paid anti-virus to the AVG paid anti-malware. I have not found any way to change the settings to shorten the boot time. All of my settings are set to only scan or test when I manually start the test (complete...

    Antivirus advice urgently needed....

    I have been using AVG for 6 years but I will be going to Eset Nod32 when my AVG subscription runs out. Nod32 is more expensive than AVG but I will be using it on only one PC. I tried AVG on my trading computer but it brought that PC to its knees. I do not run any anti-virus on my trading PC. My...

    How is IB's trading platform?

    I agree. I have no plans to upgrade from TWS 882 to any later TWS version after trying TWS 883. I found only disadvantages with 883 and no advantages with 883.:( :confused:

    How is IB's trading platform?

    TWS and IB platforms prior to TWS have worked great for me for rapid order entry for more than 8 years.

    PCquote ..DO NOT Sign UP!!!

    You need a "ShopSafe" Bank of America credit card. With that card you could have canceled the charge number assigned to PCquote at the same time you canceled the service and avoided the problem.

    The second column takes up more screen real-estate which may not work for everyone.

    IB TWS : I hate the new 883 version

    TWS 883.1 is a 5 year setback and a composit of problems and bugs. My experience with 883.1 was all bad. I can sum it all up in three words: I hate it.

    IB TWS is the most confusing trading platform I have seen

    I have been using IB for over 8 years, since before there was a TWS, and all of IB's trading software has been cutting edge and a pleasure to use. When IB released TWS, I thought TWS was not equal to the previous IB trading software which I thought was great. So, I continued to use the previous...

    Why not use TD Ameritrade?

    I have found that AT does about as well as my other brokers at filling large orders which means I most often get a partial fill and my remaining unfilled balance of the order moves the market away from me. With AT I am stuck with the $10 charge, I then have to cancel the balance of the order and...

    Why not use TD Ameritrade?

    I have an AT account, but I do not use my AT account for trading. I use other brokers that have low per share commissions for my trading. I use my AT account for only long term investing because of the high ticket charges. Even if I want to take a 5000 share position in a stock, There are...

    Trouble with MBTN

    Thinking back to when I first installed MBTN: As I remember, I could not get my quotes to work on the first day, but they were working when I started MBTN the following day. Could have had something to do with permissions from MBT.

    QT alternatives

    For my trading machine, I am running an older PC I put together a few years ago: MSI board with 6 PCI slots, AMD 1.4 GHZ CPU, 1 GIG of PC133 ram, 12 monitors, and running Windows 2000. I run QT, TWS, and MBT Navigator and my Captools accounting software all at the same time with head room to...

    QT alternatives

    I have eleven monitor screens loaded with QT and have no problems with QT being slow. You may have issues other than with QT. I have several sources of data and will switch data sources when the one I have selected is running behind.

    What's Up With QT

    Lets hope Jerry is only temporarily not able to respond. QT would not be the same without Jerry.

    M B Trading

    MB Trading is paying 2.843% interest on the entire account overnight cash balance. IB is paying 2.49% for overnight balances of $10000 to $90000 with nothing paid on the first $10000. I would rather scalp in stocks with IB. I also much prefer IB's all in commission when it comes to entering...

    POLL: should IB just focus on data and executions and drop everything else?

    IB should know best what needs to be included as part of TWS to support IB's broad and ever expanding customer base. I wish IB had bought QuoteTracker before Ameritrade bought QT; However, IB's software developers could likely develop a QT like program for less than the purchase price of QT.
