IB - Yes, you need to be a client. Many of the futures traders are. Other brokers that support futures (and thus can be used as a free datafeed with Quotetracker) are: CyberTrader MB Trading AB Watley (not all accounts) Money.net - if you want futures, then its 27.99 per month, plus the...

there are advantages and disadvantages to Sierra Charts relative to QT. As for costing money, so does Sierra Charts. Also, QT registration is free for optionsXpress, CyberTrader and MB Trading clients

QT tracks 5 days of data for registered users. All 3 of the datafeeds I mentioned have full backfill support for futures, so no hoops to jump through.

IB would be the cheapest if you have an account with them. You can use QuoteTracker for free (or $5/month if registered). If not an IB client, you can subscribe to a datafeed that supports futures: IQFeed - http://www.quotetracker.com/iqfeed Money.net -...

not familiar with Sierra's .mnd files, but I do know that QT cannot do anything with them.

as for opening 2 portfolios, the first one is automatically opened on the main QT window. To open a 2nd window for another portfolio, select PORTFOLIO/New Portfolio Window menu

configuring DATEK and IB: for IB, just set it up the way we have it documented at: http://www.quotetracker.com/help/ib.shtml for DATEK, just go to OPTIONS/Data Sources menu, click on TRADING tab, select DATEK and add account, then enter the login info and click OK. You will now have IB...

its the same thing - if you cancel an order in QT - you will see the status change in TWS at the same time

double click on bid/ask/last on the quotes - that will fill in the trade panel. Hit BUY/SELL. you first have to enable the double click on bid/ask/last option on OPTIONS/Data sources menu, TRADING tab (bottom of that screen)

Trading - you can configure both and switch between them. You can have multiple datek accounts configured as well. Quotes - You can have 2 portfolio windows open - one with DATEK as the source, another with IB. As was mentioned previously, select DATEK for Indices. That way, you will be able...

MB Trading also has futures.

Actually, IB does support hidden - At least through their API ChoiceTrade, NobleTrading and Trade Wall Street have it. Others have reserve order - basically where you can specify the size of the order that will be displayed on Level II. (Ameritrade, MB Trading)

Yes, the field where you enter the price can be automatically updated with the most current quote so you don't have to keep adjusting the price in a fast moving market, so when you hit the buy/sell button whatever is in that field is sent to the broker. Here is a screen shot: Jerry Medved...

X2 is a bit flashy like Ebo mentioned and wastes a lot of screen space. You can use QuoteTracker as a trading platform with the X2 account to get a better trading interface without having to upgrade to Pro account.

arzoo, Windows XP is much more stable than 98, so thats the first big reason to upgrade. XP also handles multi-tasking much better, and in the case of complex Java applications (TWS) and QuoteTracker, multi-tasking is important, so yes, your setup should run better on XP. As for...

Yes, email support@quotetracker.com for the custom configuration files

VWAP - Volume-Weighted Average Price. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/tradingInfo/orders/vwapOrders.html "close all" - I believe that closes all positions at market Select OPTIONS/WebUpdate menu. That should cut down that list drastically. If someone wants to suggest a different...

Jay, you seem to be missing a key point here. IB is doing you a favor by combining a cancel and a place order into one. If you placed a 1000 share order, filled 500, canceled the rest and placed a new order for 500 shares at a revised price, it would be reasonable to expect to have the new...

kowboy - you can use QuoteTracker for trading through both MB Trading and IB - QT supports integrated trading and datafeeds for both. It lets you have as many intraday charts as you want. And, QT auto-registers for MB Trading clients, so you in affect get fully registered QuoteTracker for...

don't know who they use, but note that the volume on Scottrade is always wrong. The initial quote returns correct volume, but it drops down after the first update. This has been a problem for years.
