    sorting software

    I just counted, Realtick gives you 40 of everything except hot volume (50), and stuff that varies such as new 52 week highs. To access this go to Favorites/MarketMinder/TAL chain symbol list, and drag and drop one of the symbols into a seperate market minder window. voodoo

    IB order cancelled - wont go through

    BTW, there is an interactive brokers chat room on othernet. Using mirc connect to othernet, then use the /list command to get a full list of channels. I'm not sure of the name, but it's probably simply #interactivebrokers. There are ofcourse plenty of other channels. #daytraders is I think...

    Posting in wrong forum

    Some people are constantly posting in the wrong forum. Perhaps it would be better to remove the 'start a new thread' option from the page displaying messages, so that it's only available from the thread list page. That might force people to think which forum their new thread belongs in, it would...

    DNS problems

    Today (17th of October) at around 6 am EST was probably the third time this month I could not access Elite Trader because of DNS problems. Other sites worked fine, but trying to access this site I got the standard 'cannot find server or dns error' message. I changed the dns server settings, then...

    Best Filter Software?

    I asked that same question recently, from the responses I got first alert is the best. Of course if you used to be a programmer, you can always write your own :) Providing of course that your firm allows that and the data feed has a reasonably usefull api. This is one reason I never even...

    Well, guess what, I'm a monkey and random pounding is exactly how I produced my 30 posts. What are you gonna say now? (Hint to other monkeys: use the spell checker.) voodoo

    Trading journal-My first trade

    This will sound silly, but... My first trade: I was clueless and opened an Etrade account. My first trade was long DCLK. It was a marketable limit order, the limit was set to about two points above what was the current price. As I said, I was clueless, I thought this would be just like a...

    Is It Illegal?

    Use jpg for pictures only, use gif for non-photographic images, especially if they use few colors. Both are compression algorithms. voodoo

    Broker Ratings--

    I wish someone would answer my main question though, which rtharp and baron pointed up, namely do all RT brokers handle orders the same or do some use their own order servers and therefore might be suspect? And while we're at it, does anyone know exactly what happens to orders, from the time...

    software for futures trading

    Any comments on data for futures and options available from Townsend Analytics (Real Tick)? note to Polish speakers about a new irc channel: wlasnie stworzylem kanal gielda na othernet. Proponuje abysmy sie tam czasami spotykali, szczegolnie gdy otwarte sa gieldy. Uzywajac mirc wejdz na...

    Money management - any Excell wizzards on the board?

    Actually if you have 50% probability of winning each trade, the probability of having a streak of 20 loses is 1:1,048,576 and a streak of 30 loses is 1:1,073,741,84. That's one in more than one billion, and with a $1 stop loss you'd still lose only $30 x average number of shares, which wouldn't...

    Broker Ratings--

    AAA: Why would one RT broker have any better quotes or connections or executions than another? Don't they all come from the same source? Voodoo: I believe they do, the source these days is TAL feed, Townsend Analytics own data feed. AAA: The selection of one RT broker over another...

    Suggestions (Part 2)

    There seem to be two different icons for a closed thread. You might want to close the 2000 thread. Also, did you change the way the site keeps track of what has been read already? I used to get a banch of red folders, and that wouldn't change until I refreshed the Discussion page, now when...

    News recommendations

    Vinigar, I noticed that, it says latest news from myNews, not NewsWare. I guess they were planning on doing a free delayed site, and discontinued it. Still, it doesn't give a very good impression. I'm sure NewsWare still works though, as TerraNova-MB and others still offer it. Click on...

    News recommendations

    Ok, I did some more research on this. I vaguely remembered that the people I talked to were the same people who sold myTrack. I looked up that web page and eventually found the new site for TrackData Corporation (almost missed it since their old url now points to some Dutch company.) Then I...

    News recommendations

    Keep the following things in mind. Business wire and PR News are both wire services used by companies to publish their press releases. Some of the news wires are available free on Yahoo and other places, and Allstocks does a good job of aggregating them, but the free versions are 15 minutes...
