Its called a regression bug, and is actually quite common. We do try to identify them while in beta, but sometimes that does not happen. There were 2 updates to the production version after it was released. The curreint 3.7.5b version is final though and should work fine. If you have a...

version77 If you are getting updates every week, then you are using a BETA verson. the production version only changes once every few months. The one before the 3.7.5 release was on March 13. The whole point of BETA versions is to fix bugs. And as for updates in general, ALL software...

many here use Trade-Ideas: http://www.trade-ideas.com

IB will work with any platform. Others will all require a windows component. At this time, nothing can be done about that. We are always mentioning to the brokers and data vendors that a straight through API (network protocol) is preferable to having a windows component being the go-between...

IQFeed and eSignal have datafeeds available. Also, if you have an Interactive Brokers account, you can use their API. IB's EOD data is for 1 year. Alternately, you can write to QuoteTracker API and be able to get Level I, as well as news and historical intraday & EOD data from any source...

1) QuoteTracker - you would be better off using optionsXpress for data - better datafeed, you can trade through QT from it, AND if you are not registered, QT will auto register itself if you are an OX client, which it identifies when you login with OX. 2) AB connection to QT might not work if...

there was a large gap, that was more than the spike filter setting, so the spike filter ended up filtering out legitimate data

increase the spike filter or turn it off by setting it to 100. OPTIONS/Edit Preferences menu, CHARTS tab, MISC... sub-tab, top right of the page.

You can use QuoteTracker (http://www.quotetracker.com) with BigCharts set as the Hist Backfill source. Then use QT HTTP command with Excel WebQuery to get the data into Excel. http://www.quotetracker.com/help/qtserver.shtml BigCharts data is better than Yahoo. If you want others, QT also...

QuoteTracker - http://www.quotetracker.com/ Has multiple zooming options, chart types, etc.

You can use QuoteTracker. You do have to have a datafeed, but if your broker is one of the ones QT supports, you can use it as the datafeed for free. Example - IB, CyberTrader, MB Trading, RML.

You placed an order to sell at 25.45 or better (thats what a LIMIT is). On BRUT, the best BUY order was 25.46, which IS better than what you asked for. Cyber's system automatically determines what the best route will be to get you the best price. In this case, that means that they sent an order...

We have been getting a lot of reports from IB clients about the settings being lost. None about not being able to connect from within TWS though.

For software, you can use Medved QuoteTracker: http://www.quotetracker.com/ for free (if you have some brokerage account) or use a delayed datafeed, or minimal cost if you get a data subscription

QuoteTracker will not run on Linux natively - same goes for most other commercial financial apps. You can run it using VMWare. Some have also had limited success using WINE to run QT.

for just running your trading applications on that one computer, it whether you run XP Pro or Home version isn't going to make any difference.

there is no chance of that happening. it would involve a complete rewrite, and economics just don't justify the cost of that.

QuoteTracker can connect to IB demo same exact way as to a live account. It connects to TWS, whichever account is currently logged into TWS. One thing that does not work in demo is backfill (NOTE: It DOES work with simulated trading accounts)

not likely to happen. We do not do alerts on chart specific stuff. Plus you would have alerts going off constantly
