QuoteTracker for years

Tom Peterffy is what makes IB a best of class brokerage company. If IB was bought out and managed buy the buyer, IB would no longer be a best of class brokerage company.

Yes, I think you are correct. It has been several days since I was reading all of the Penson news releases on my news feed. One other thing if I remember correctly was the 5.5 million dollar loan from PFSI to Penson Worldwide a few days before the announced sale of Penson Futures clearing. That...

From what I read, Penson Worldwide still holds a majority stake in Apex Clearing. Seems to me to be essentially the same Penson under a different name with an agreement to share profits with the bailout partner Peak6. As for Penson Futures clearing sell, that seems to be a real Penson sell with...

TD Ameritrade acquired QuoteTracker charting and order placement platform and has announced plans to end support.

All governments want millions of worker ants to enslave and produce products for the government and a selected few. A government enacted transaction tax will eventually make trading for the small time individual trader unthinkable.

For several years I have considered Penson to be poorly managed and wondered how Penson was able to hold onto the number of brokers they cleared for. Maybe Penson will hang-on with a share price of zero.

That is about equal to the $42 million Penson Worldwide invested in the racetrack. Penson has for sure desperately needed that money since that $42 million giveaway. Just think about all of the abnormally high interest loans Penson has been paying ever since and will pay into the future. If...

My thoughts: QuoteTracker is still flying and I am for flying on while looking for more gas to keep QT flying. We do not know if, when, how, or where this TDAT QT situation will go or end. When we can no longer keep QT going, we can then do the next best thing which may or may not be writing a...

Check on what Jerry Medved suggested above about using "system time". Lately my MBT Quotes within QT were asleep until I went to QT > Data Sources/Proxy > Quotes and checked the box "Always use System Time for Quotes" for my MBT Portflio. That awoke my MBT quotes from a near death sleep. Prior...

A MBT customer service rep recently told me MBT was getting their data from ComStock but you can not count on MBT customer service reps for correct information.

This seemed to be a little more than what I recalled as IB's activity minimums. I went back and read IB's activity minimums and this is the way I understood the minimum activity cost per month: If a trader generates less than $10 per month in trade commissions in a month, a fee will be added...

High99, thanks for the help. That sounds like a very worthwhile fix. Does this also require two different passwords? Are you able to enter trades through both platforms when both platforms are running at the same time? I doubt the MBT customer service guys will be able to answer any questions on...

Lately my MBT Quotes within QT were asleep until I went to QT > Data Sources/Proxy > Quotes and checked the box "Always use System Time for Quotes" for my MBT Portflio. That awoke my MBT quotes from a near death sleep. MBT account information, positions, and orders still function within QT. As...

MBT Perm server down this afternoon through close of trading at 4:00 EST. I doubt if MBT could have placed an order if you called it in to their trading desk. I doubt if Barron's does more than look at a brokers website to determine Barron's Broker Rankings (Barron's likes the looks of the...

I get the impression that most of the QT users at the time of the QT acquisition by TDAT are still using QT.

Penson management acquired GHCO in 2007. At that time, I used (and still use) two brokers that clear futures through Penson. Between midnight and 6:00 AM, Penson frequently looses track of my positions in futures contracts (show I am short when I am flat, long when I am short, larger or smaller...

I read the PFG broker ratings here on ET. PFG has only a few ratings and their average review rating is only 54%. MBT is OK for stocks but their clearing firm Penson does poorly with futures (Penson has cleared futures for only about 2 or 3 years). MBT offers no data feed waiver for full size...

I noticed this thread was moved from "Hardware" to "Chit Chat". It would seem to me the starter of this thread was needing to install a window air conditioner to cool his room full of trading machines as I have had to do. Central air does not keep up with the heat load of my computer hardware...
