    Is it worth it to switch from MB to IB ?

    myminitrading - Registered QuoteTracker users can have up to 10 days on intraday charts. 2 day restriction is for the UN-Registered version mktman - We prefer to make a little bit of thousands of users rather than a larger chunk from a much smaller user base. If you feel that the price of...

    Non-repeating alerts

    in QuoteTracker, you can specify duplicate alert threshold to be something like 999. That way, once the alert is reached, it will not be triggered again for that many minutes even if the alert condition is met again

    Cheaper alternative

    saving the layout would not be a problem. List of sectors - you would need to enter the symbols. You can group them by sectors in the QT portfolio if you wish.

    Cheaper alternative

    What exactly do you mean by "Page"? QT stores the window settings and layouts as they were at the time you closed it last. Saving multiple layouts is not yet done.

    Cheaper alternative

    You can use QuoteTracker with either your broker (if supported) or a subscription datafeed. Showing 2 daysof 10 min candles would not be any problem http://www.quotetracker.com/ Quote sources: http://www.quotetracker.com/qsources.shtml

    Alternatives To QCharts

    AAAintheBeltway - the screenshots may need a bit of updating :) QT stores all the quotes it gets from Level I datafeeds and uses them to build the chart. It can also backfill the data, in order to build the chart for time periods when you may not have been running QT or not watching that...

    Alternatives To QCharts

    QuoteTracker has very few toolbars. Are you sure you are looking at QT and not another program? The ones that are there can be hidden by clicking on the vertical tab on the left side of the toolbar (top panel, indices, trading panels) You do not have to have the symbol in the WatchList or...

    Kicking - as I said before - if you have a problem, email us about it - chances are we can get the issue cleared up very quickly. I am not aware of any serious issues in the current production release.

    Ameritrade Streamer, is it buggy?

    stock777, Why don't you use QuoteTracker with the Ameritrade account instead? (http://www.quotetracker.com/ameritrade) It connects to the same datafeeds, but its a native Windows application- you don't need to use Java, or even open a browser. The integrated trading through QT is far...

    Is TradeStation as "buggy" as QuoteTracker?

    It is called bitching not because you asked the question, but because you were complaining about frequent updates and bugs, while you are using the beta version of the software, which by definition will have frequent updates and bugs.

    Is TradeStation as "buggy" as QuoteTracker?

    Have you ever considered that the vast majority of support questions (both QT and other systems) are the result of the user not RTFM? Also, quite frequently, the issues that come up are NOT software bugs, but issues with datafeeds, exchanges, brokers. Support is needed regardless of how well...
