    Sterling Platform Performance

    I must admit that after reading all of these responses and having reviewed both the Sterling platform and API docs, and knowing the monthly fees garnished for the use of the platform, I am amazed. Sterling appears to be making very few enhancements to the basic platform and none to the API. They...

    WARNING: Open E Cry

    yes they do, but the most important issues are: 1) HOW FAST DO THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM ? 2) HOW FAST DO THEY REACT ? (begin to take action) 3) HOW QUICKLY IS IT FIXED SATISFACTORILY ? (think hours, days, weeks, etc.) All streaming data feeds should be rated on that basis. Of course...

    Great Year So Far, But Am I Just Lucky?

    Yeah, but it seems you are smart enough to know when that occurs.....so all you need to determine is the new strategies to deal with the changed/shifted market.

    Three great things about TOS: 1) they listen. Great customer service. I even get a word into the execs and the CTO. 2) they respond. Bugs get fixed quickly. Data feed problems are addressed immediately. 3) they perform. The platform is always well-tested before each new release and never goes...

    Seeking a partner

    Am I wrong here, or has no one asked for his actual trading stats: Win/Loss ratio ? Avg Win $, Avg Loss $ per trade # of trades per day Avg time in trade - winners Avg time in trade - losers IMHO a lot about his style and even his problem would come right out in the stats.
