    Mac Computer and Tradestation

    I dont think there is a need to wait. The Beta performs FANTASTIC. I have had it running alongside Parallels with no issues whatsoever. I think the BETA (in this case) is for additional features, not stability.

    Mac Computer and Tradestation

    Stockwet, if the Coherence mode is not a "NEED" for you, you might want to try VMWares FUsion. Much Lower latency than Parallels. Demoship... I think Rolls Royces are Overpriced, but it doesnt stop people from buying them. So far as 100% Compatible. If a PC program isnt 100% compatible...

    Mac Computer and Tradestation

    I use parallels all the time. It's Just like running a PC. Parallels Release 3188 is EXTREMELY stable. I havnt had it crash on me yet (running 24/7 for 5 or 6 days at a time.) Works great with Trading software. No Data issues (I use bridged networking mode so that parallels appears to my...

    what kind of computer for trading?

    This is funny. So using a PC will make you a better trader???? Cuz I do just fine with my mac. Of course it isnt the computer... It's my brain. I could do well with a Linux Machine. Back in '00 it wasnt my computer that made me a sucky trader.. Again it was my mind...

    Sounds like a YMMV situation.

    Really unhappy with Ensign and DTN/IQ data feed

    DTN is always ahead of IB's data feed. (At least in my office) I am usually fussing because DTN has updated and I am sitting waiting for IB's feed to update (okay a second or so, but you know we can get anal.)

    Really unhappy with Ensign and DTN/IQ data feed

    As a DTN customer, all I can say is Yes... it's the Bomb. Yes it leads IB's feed at times. It's rock solid stable. Perhaps they are doing upgrades (which is not an "admission") But in doing so, I doubt the guys would let quality slip. I changed feeds for the past 10 days and hated the change...

    IB"security"...nearly cost me my job. awful

    if he "lost" his job it would be more accurate to say he "gave" his job away to a more competent manager. Not to be insulting, but when you glean the thread and put together ALL the evidence HE presented, you find major loopholes..... Oh well. Tender skin dont last in here. LOL.

    Are IB accounts protected from fraud and unauthorized access?

    Thank God I'm married. You are worse than a nagging ex girlfriend. Just because I disagree with your position doesnt make mine right. Did you skip Debate Class. Who freaking cares about my opinion. The thread isnt about my opinion. I am asking for some details, specifics, etc.... But you cant...

    Are IB accounts protected from fraud and unauthorized access?

    Lack of the ability to read and understand is a MAJOR issue in the world. I said "I don't leave my computer open to VULNERABLE ATTACKS." Read the flow of the words, understand the statement. I never said my computer wasnt vulnerable to attacks. There is a big difference in the...

    My Spam filter(s) keep that junk away from me with about 98% effectiveness. I have 2 filters. One from my ISP and 1 on my computer.... What the ISP misses, Spam Sieve Gets....
