What are you going to do? I did notice that the data was running way behind and that the prints were way behind also. But they told me previously that it was my internet connection causing the problem. I am going elsewhere, not because of the platform, which I think is really good. But...

GG and Mr Market should get together for sure.

What do you use for stock scanning software?

To finish the post: I am only posting here to find out what other users are experiencing so that I may find out the problem that is affecting my IP connection. The people at Xoom have been most helpful and courteous and I think it is a great trading platform and would highly recommend it to...

Hamb-Itrd, Are you still with Xoomtrade? If not, who are you going with. Although I have been there several months, this problem has only occurred mostly in the last few weeks. They indicate it is perhaps my internet provider. But my IP provider says that they have been rock solid. If others...

Had an account with IB 4 years. I would still like to use all hot keys to direct order size, market and price, and shaving off the bid or offer. And to set up and notify of alerts for entries and exits. I will read up on this. And had these features been available all along, I would have...

Ok I will take your advice and reread, and apparently I am not correct in my assessment. I believe none of these features existed originally when I first signed on with IB. Thanks for the suggestion

Nonsense. This is just an excuse to be brain dead IMHO. Don't get me wrong Def. I do appreciate IB and the "used to be cutting edge in commissions." But for crying out loud, why is there a proliferation of other front ends? It would be nicer if IB supplied one or two. Like how much trouble...

Are the remote fees still $250 per month and $4 minimum ticket charge? Kinda steep if you scale in and out.

1. When you enter a security you have to enter the exchange or Smart. You are fixed to the order route initially selected unless you go back and enter the stock again and change the routing. DAS brokers typically facilitate order directing from the level2 at the time of placing the order, and...

Who are your favorites in terms of brokers? PS: I think IB does not do their customers any good by not providing a front end order entry program.

:confused: :(

I agree with Volume, Turok, and IndexTrader. But I will try a simple explanation anyhow, I hope. Typically if you enter a limit order to buy at the bid on a slow moving stock, you would wait in line behind other purchasers who entered a buy at the bid order before you did. If the prices stay...

Any xoomtraders there?

If you watch the system messenger tab, are you staying connected all day long? This week I have been disconnected all day long and logged back in, back and forth between data Gateway L1 and L2. Haven't been able to trade reliably. I am guessing it is my crappy internet connection (LAN...

Do you have a picture publisher, screen capture, or draw program? If so, you can save the file as a compressed jpeg file and try to get the file under 100k by using the compression function.

Were you going to post the charts? BTW, what charting program do you use?

The Cd's that come with the card are sometimes outdated. If you go to the Ati website, there will be current drivers you can download.

Yes the book is primarily for intraday short term trades. I have been watching the volume more recently and it has helped me time the entries and exits better. Not a holy grail, but a helpful indicator.

Aw shucks, I was waiting for an exceptional intellectual response from ertrader1 as usual.
