Another victim here. Has anyone found a solution yet?

Predator is very fast and probably just as reliable as other programs of the same type. Admittedly, I have no experience with similar programs; thus it is difficult to make a comparison. The developer is extremely responsive to making changes to improve the program for traders. On a couple of...

TKO I have Bellsouth. I don't know how far I am from the switching station but have experienced very few difficulties over the past year and a half. I have run bandwidth speed programs; they consistently measure greater than 1 meg.

The real issue is whether a Mark to Market election has been filed. If so, all income or loss is ordinary and the capital losses carried forward cannot be used to offset future gains (except, of course, to the extent of the $3,000 per year).

I looked at the web site describing the software. It looks like this is a new product and is not yet ready for "real time" use. Currently, it can calculate based only on end of the day data. It also seems a little expensive. I trade spreads on a regular basis. I use a charting program...
