    Data Feed for Excel

    Can be done quite easily with Realtick (www.realtick.com), but you will have to determine your own definition of "not too expensive". Yes, I do this. JB

    IB stops change?

    You know, I wondered the exact same thing, but I couldn't exactly prove it. I usually don't sit and watch my stop orders, but I did have the chance to watch one and it acted as you described. My sister even called me and ask the same question (she trades IB as well) Def? JB

    >How does it produce inertia? I doesn't. www.xbow.com ******************* A major breakthrough was the development of a technology called the ring laser gyro. The ring laser gyro is a highly accurate way to measure changes in angular position ( or angular rate) without the use of any...

    Selectnet

    Selectnet

    Yes, and the light is... don't use Selectnet to hit an ECN. Additionally, unless you are using OOUSs (Orders Of Unusual Size), don't use Selectnet to hit a MM -- use SuperSoes. Bottom line, Selectnet is pretty much a dinosaur (as is the book). JB
