Nitro - for a company with a market share and strong software developers like Sterling, this is a bit strange, no ? My deep suspicion is they are afraid the use of the API will cut into the licensing fees of their "manual" platform. This is the same story at ESignal I believe...many have...

AGREED ! Especially Timothy Sikes...I read his book....and then his posts....and then his responses to my queries. He really has some "issues". I mean for him to get so totally "duped" by those guys in that crappy internet transaction venture.....unBELIEVABLE ! Tim's success truly got to his...

EXACTLY !!!@#! Who gave her this "power" ? How old was this chick and what were her trading credentials ?

Sterling has an API....albeit somewhat "warty"....but then again, there has been no API including Interactive Brokers without problems. My rec is for you to initially implement your ATS with Excel and the Sterling API. This will save you some $$$$. Once it is stable (and profitable), you can...

re: Autoroute feature http://www.gndt.com/lasermanual/Trade%20Menu%20Movies/Trade-3.html Uh, this has to do with routing to Supermontage if any ECN goes down.....am I wrong on this ?

Yes, I'm working on it.....it's a bit tricky....and late of course, as I decided to provide advanced orders as well....bracker orders, trailing stops, and others as well.

This brings up an interesting point.....how poorly advanced orders are checked or VALIDATED before being submitted. I've been burnt with the Thinkorswim platform is this regard as well. If you go onto the OptionsExpress website, there is a full disclaimer of any liability related to placing...

I was at one of their "freebie" 1 hour seminars where they try to hook you into their $1700 training program. No pressure, no hype...I actually like these guys ! I didn't commit yet, but I may do this in the future. They provide 2 options for you: trade your own capital or their capital. With...

Great post Surf....I've been "gone" awhile due to a blown motherboard on my main machine. I'm now back up and running....faster, much faster. ALMOST as fast as this market is going down. The "every rally was sold today" theme was so "telling". Just WAVES of selling on a day that easily...

In the ER2, it happens all of the time....2-3 tick "slippage"...and sometimes more.

Not quite NYC, but close enough: https://keystone.propreports.com/upcomingEvents.php Good people, good training. You'll have to commit $995 however....and if you do well in their initial tests, you can trade their capital with zero down payment. Of course, you only get a low 30% payout on...

Jack - the problem with laws is that it they help some people, BUT....only at the cost of hurting others. Think about it. Who cares about the fools anyway ?

Saw the article....well done. It's a great "twist" on using the basic advance/decline indicator the way that Mark did originally. Your article really got me thinking about "triggers" used in trading systems and the various types of triggers. I think your research proves that the "trigger" can...

Jack, sorry but that is somewhat "baloney" as it (adverse action) is highly broker dependent. Almost everyone in the industry except the SEC acknowledges this rule is now bullshit. Unfortunately, our legislature does not contain any "de-legislators"....those who remove bad or outdated laws...

The IBM Stats: 1998: 500 jobs outsourced 2006: 50,000 jobs outsourced 100-fold increase.

I think this depends upon the platform the prop firm supports. With those that have TT (Trading Technologies) or Sterling Pro for instance, you would at least have the proper API support. Keep in mind though, each API has it's nuances and quirks. It could take quite some time to discover these...

Dunno....the rules are pretty complex. Also, most brokers hate the rule and each have different "interpretations" of it's details...i.e. each may treat this differently. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • The term "pattern day-trader" is...

Not so funny, but possibly the real-deal....I tried upgrading my AMD MB and processor recently...only to be met with "out of stock" status. This could indicate a flight from AMD MB's and processors.

re: "replaced".....did the replacement have an AMD or Intel processor ? I think the issue of AMD being the problem is still unclear.

re: above. Sounds like a low-level driver problem...something that is supplied by the motherboard manufacturer. Do you know the make of the board ?
