Anybody have experience with Genesis?

kk, thanks!

Hmm... why do you say that about AMD? Is there something about them that could affect trading? They are pretty close lipped about their errata... What do you know? Just a Ford vs. Chevy thing, or is there something that can get in the way of trading? Is interrupt latency high or something?

Oh, cool! Wow, thanks for taking the time to help me like this! I will PM you and if I'm lucky we can exchange contact information! Thanks again! :)

Oops. Too late on the processor. I agree on the XP part. Vista was something that I vowed to never deal with. The original system is XP, good components and well burned in. It is rock solid, and no other app crashes on it besides LS. LS assured me that AMD and Vista were ok for them...

I have been working on selecting a broker for over a year. After so much effort, I was so happy to find Lightspeed. You can imagine how sad I am that it didn't work out. It sux to be starting this process all over again. At least I know more now...

There is no question about the capabilities of TS for writing trading systems, 3rd party addons, etc., for longer term trading. How do you feel about it for scalping? Also, do you happen to know whether they accept foreign accounts? I notice in Japan that some people do trade American...

I looked at tradestation early on as well. It looks like you can do a lot, and they have been around for many years. I sent them an email with a couple of questions, and they never replied... Somewhere deep down I had this odd feeling that I wasn't what *they* were looking for. I could...

Let me add to my original post. Sometimes a profitable trade for me is only held for 5 seconds, or even less. But if things don't do what I expect, I need out *now*. I hope to find a platform which is written in a fast compiled language like C or C++. I hope to find a broker that I can...

Yeah. I looked at IB very early on. I think my gripe with them was Java. Even Sun recognizes that Java isn't ideal for a realtime appication because of the way it manages memory. It doesn't happen very often, but I noticed that with busy charts if I was online too long, the garbage collector...

Laser Software? Hard to search for, everybody seems to have Laser in their name. After eliminating the skin surgery from google I came up with: Genesis Securities, Guardian Trading, Variance Securities, Nevis Trading, Globus Trading, Realitytrader, Broco, TradePMR, Magnum Broker...

Again, thanks. Somehow I thot bright was a prop house... am I wrong?

Great! Thanks for the suggestion. I need all the alternatives that I can find. It is amazing to me that there are sooo many traders and so few brokers that really address all of the issues. I would think that a broker that really has its act together would mop up the competition.

Their site says it (the site) is intended for those in the States, but I see a note that hints at some other countries being allowed. I need to ask them to make sure. Thanks very much for the reply! :)

Thanks for the timely reply. That is a solution I have not considered. I'm a little concerned with the mixed feelings I see from those who have traded with them. I will check them out further though. :)

Kool! I am happy for you. I wish I were as lucky, as I thot LS was everything I wanted. But do you have a reply that answers my question? You might as well have said, "I like pizza"... the response does not address the solution that sadly I now require. :(

I want to trade USA leveraged ETF's from Japan, like FAS. I was trading with Lightspeed, but had a really bad experience. Their client crashes for me on most market openings, and sometimes during other busy times. Their tech support consisted of trying to find ways to put the blame...

Consider the scalper who also wishes to not miss a breakout, so only scalps with half of the total position. Is this "inferior behavior?" Black and white now... gotta answer with a yes or a no! :D

Johnny asked his Sunday school teacher, "What is the most elastic thing in the world?" Teacher: I dunno... a rubber band? Johnny: No, I don't think so... Teacher: Why? Johnny: Well, you just said that Moses tied his ass to a tree and walked for 40 years in the wilderness...

It is obvious... look around you! Men didn't come from apes... apes came from men!
