Well mom better get a gun to defend herself because that book is going to have a built-in 10 second delay and they won't be displaying stop orders in it. So, would you trade L2 with a 10 second delay?

Not sure when you last used Redi, but they have made quite a number of improvements since October. I've been using Redi for a number of years now and while they have had problems in the past, they have continually improved the software. They have tick, 1 min, 5 min, etc. charts and I have...

They seem to be a very supportive organization. They have a weekly chat where you can ask them all the questions you may have.

I've noticed that either money.net or prophetstation.com also look like medved. BTW, I think medved's done a good job in enhancing his software over the years. He has a product good for light volume traders or as a backup to another service. And by interfacing it with so many providers, he...

what's the website?

Not sure if this helps, but RediPlus provides Pre-Market Indicators showing the bids and offers that the specialists are putting up on listed stocks before the market opens.

I am NOT an accountant, (I'm only married to one:D ) but this is what I understand. What you say is key: "tax deferment". Anything you put in a Keough, regular IRA, etc. is "tax deferred" meaning that while you don't pay taxes on it now, but you will later. With an LLC that gives you your...

Depends on what kind of quotes you are getting. Last trade doesn't require much. One time I did a test using a L2 window. I started with no windows and checked the bandwidth usage. Then I opened a L2 window on INTC, then on MSFT, then CSCO. With each additional window, my bandwidth...

Definitely, but reliability is dependent on your cable company. If they can keep the TV signal up, they should be able to keep the internet signal up.

When FirstAlert first came out with their internet version, it ran on the realtick feed. I could log into RealTick, then FirstAlert, and the realtick would shut down. But, if I logged into FirstAlert first, then Realtick, they both stayed up. I guess FirstAlert ignored the shutdown signal...

Why not just have a second PC running your quotes and execution software. Let it be on the other connection. Then if there's a problem, no wasting time cranking up your software, just turn to the other PC's keyboard.

While Satellite has a big pipe, you'll get your quotes 1/2-3/4 of a second behind the land-line world. Also, your orders will get there 1/2-3/4 seconds later. This is due to distance to geo-synch orbit, and compression processing time. Multilink is great if you can get an ISP that can do it.

So far, I like the looks of your journal. All I ever want from someone who has something to tell me about their trades are 3 things: 1. Be honest about reporting your trades. 2. Give a GOOD explanation about why you entered. If it's technical, give parameters you use. 3. Give a GOOD...

You'll probably have to go to a control and use regular VB. Perhaps farpoint spread www.fpoint.com or Visual Components FormulaOne www.visualcomp.com They use spreadsheet calcs. Not quite as easy as Excel, but let's you avoid that Excel requirement

I can confirm this... no ECN fees, no cancellation charges.

I use to play an opening strategy that I called "They're Lying". It was based on the proposition that brokers do a big hype of stocks that they need to get out of or that their clients need to get out of. This is particularly true of stocks that have been slipping down. When a stock gets...

Maybe it's made for people who's executions are 10 seconds delayed. It'll only take someone a few minutes of looking at the real-time NYSE quotes and this new thing to see how useless it will probably be. Unless someone can figure out what games the specialists will play with them and trade...

Do they handle intraday backtesting? It wasn't really clear on the website.

Thanks rtharp, this answers my question. I thought that was the way it was. I just wanted to check and see if anyone had experienced any "specialist games" I have had situations where my stop order was "forgotten". One time I noticed it near the end of the day and called them on it. I...

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Market orders are supposed to be in time received order and I want to know if a stop order that is turned into a market order could be executed after a market order that comes in within a second of the stop order. You see, if it works in strict time...
