There are many applications that allow you to grab the data: www.mytrack.com, www.taltrade.com, to name a few. Getting the data is not really a big deal. Handling the orders is the bigger deal. This is particularly true in changing orders. You can cancel and put in a new one, but then you...

Well Wannabe, you know that trading is a zero sum gain, and for all these experienced traders to have the "+" part of that sum, they need someone else to have the "-" part.:eek: :D But really, the trading community is generally good folks and sometime down the road, you too may find yourself...

I know of a trader who was in a position similar to yours a few years ago. Trader's Assistant, limited funds, etc. He joined our firm and has worked his way to being one of the top traders in the company. So, I'd say "give it a shot" as you have nothing to lose by finding out what's available...

I use Tradestation 2000 right now. It's OK and I've got it doing a lot of what I want. I wouldn't mind something better, but I don't look forward to ramping up on learning the idosynchrasies of another product. I looked at wealth-lab a few months ago, but didn't look into it too fully as I...

Can you have multiple time series in a strategy? For example, use intraday charts, but be able to look at the daily chart for the last 20 days average true range so you can see if you've had a H-L difference on the intraday chart that exceeds it?

How about a "Congratulations to our newest 100+ post member". This can clue people in to those up and comers who may have something worth listening to, or at least to take a look at.

Do they have a source for historical INTRADAY data? That always seems to be a sticking point with various software.

Vishnu, Do you know: if wealth-lab works on intraday data? if they have a source for historical data? if they can run strategies across many symbols at a time?

It seems that every vendor has a problem at one time or another. I do know one thing though, when data is "scrubbed", that takes time and it will slow down the data feed to you. So the question you have to ask is which is more important, squeaky clean data or data that has a few bad ticks in...

Sometimes I'd like a direct link to a current post. To do that right now, I go through the search engine to find it. Then I take the resultant URL, drop the search terms and it comes up with a directlink to that post which I can then e-mail to friends. If you had a direct link on that...

I'm with Bright abd they do, but that's a professional firm. I don't know who does in the retail arena.

I think what he's talking about is an "on opening only" order which means that the order will be executed if the limit price is met on the opening tick ONLY. If it is not, then the order is immediately cancelled. This can only be done on NYSE/AMEX stocks due to the nature of the specialist...

Hi Baron, First, let me say this is an EXCELLENT site. I have not seen better forum software anywhere. You blow SI away! Now for my request. How about a "Classifieds" section. I could see people buying/selling/trading the following products/services: Series 7 materials Technical...

I know a trader that used this and failed the Series 7 first time out. He said he did well on the practice tests. I referred him to PassPerfect (which I used) and he passed the next time. I definitely like the PassPerfect stuff. It has books and disks which I found to be very helpful. If...

Tony (or anyone), Has anyone attempted to use the www.ird.com data feed with the Oz scanner? It's only $50/mo which is a significant savings from realtick.

You should get on the omega-list. All the experts are there. All subscription or unsubscription requests should be mailed either to: omega-list-request@eskimo.com or to: omega-digest-request@eskimo.com depending on whether you want to subscribe or unsubscribe to/from the...

It seemed like that software looked familiar... TheWatcher under windows:eek: But one of the main advantages of the watcher was being able to see how MM's executed other Watcher customer orders. So, the question is, are these guys tied in the same way and do they get to see that also?

You can try: www.mytrack.com - they're pretty inexpensive www.quote.com - more expensive, but not as much as realtick If you go with a broker that uses RediPlus, it also has an Excel interface and that wouldn't cost you anymore.

It's hard to say what to do without knowing more about your situation. How's your financial status? Could you take $25K, give it to someone else and not think about it? Then could you quit your job for a year and live a lifestyle that would be acceptable to you without income? Then...

According to the conference call with the announcement of the merger they said they will be using the RediBook technology, but the ECN will be called ARCA.
