Since when does "intelligence" equate to "civility"? History is rife with murderous geniuses. The Japanese are by and large acting civilly in this time of crisis because Japan is by and large a civil society. Would this happen in the US? Although we are by and large a somewhat civil society...

Can you elaborate on getting out of "their business"? Does that include not drawing any cartoons that may offend them or getting upset when they decapitate their spouses for wanting to divorce them?

Help me understand something: If we find nutcases like the Detroit underwear bomber or the would-be cartoonist killer out in the desert in a camp, training to kill us, we bomb the shit out of them. If we capture them AFTER THEY'VE TRIED TO KILL US, like the underwear bomber, we afford...

I think it's a very good product, and for the price it is just a killer deal. Not only that, the support is EXCELLENT. If you have an idea on a screen you want to create and aren't sure how to write it, just e-mail them and they usually respond within 24 hours. Excellent service, excellent...

Someone told me recently that odd-lot orders can be very expensive on ECNs, i.e. Arca. He added that an odd-lot is any order that is not done in 100 share blocks. Ergo, a 401-share order would be considered an "odd-lot" and all 401 of those shares would be charged a hefty fee. My...

Is it possible to find the address and phone number of a broker based on the partnership ID given on a K-1 Form or the broker's previous company name? Some backgound: A few years ago a couple and their friends put in about 10K each and gave the money to one of their friend's "hot" brokers...

C Rob, Can you do this in Echo Trader 2 or just EchoPro? If you can do it with ET 2, would you mind helping me out as well? It's not a huge deal for me; waiting a couple days for NetSheets is fine, but if it can be done, what the heck... Thanks, LL

Looking for a computer solely for e-mail, word processing, light net surfing and maybe a couple of games, not the newer graphics-intensive ones but old ones like solitaire, etc. This computer would NOT be for trading. This is for a senior-citizen relative, not me, and they're on a strict...

Thanks qazmax. I knew an ETer would come through! :)

I very rarely trade in the pre- or after-market, so I would appreciate assistance on this: I tried to sell a long position at what I thought was right before the close on ARCA, but I was off by a few seconds, the time went past 4:00, and it got rejected because the order expiration type was...

The Echo Instaquote platform is called Echo Trader 2. I use it because it offers stop orders on OTC issues, whereas Echo's premier platform, EchoPro, does not. It's a shame, too, because EchoPro's charts are MUCH better than ET 2's (although, to my knowledge, EchoPro charts do NOT show pre...

Anyone else lose their Dow Industrials (INDU) feed late in the day? I'm using EchoTrader 2 and wondering if any EchoPro users were affected. Today's number of disconnects: 2 :confused:

Anyone else get knocked off Echo again today? Happened to me twice, yesterday too.

Bmont, Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post, but to my knowledge EchoPro is a Sterling product, not an in-house designed software application, while EchoTrader2 is an InstaQuote application. (EchoPro is by far the more superior product with excellent charts; unfortunately it does not offer...

Thanks tdoc. No problems today, but I only traded half the session. C Robinson was kind enough to PM me with some suggestions, i.e. changing servers on Echo's end. I didn't even know that was an option. All the best.

tdoc, if the problems indeed are on my end, I'd love to know what they are. Why do I lose my Echo connection but am still able to refresh Internet Explorer pages (one of which refreshes automatically, a subscription to Briefing.com and their "In Play" section)? Why does my e-mail refresh...

Thanks truncheon. :)

Took several attempts to close application and log-in before I was back online. Probably 30 to 45 seconds or so. I have also noticed that I lose the connection or things freeze up if I have a very heavy volume stock on my LII and Time and Sales, although today's dropped connection doesn't...

I thought I saw a product like this somewhere on the web but can't find it. Basically it's a square minipad that has the F1 - F10 keys on it and a couple of other keys. I thought when I saw it that it would be ideal for trading using hotkeys as you wouldn't have to deal with the bulk of a...

Yes I did, and yesterday too. Not only would the quotes freeze, but the system would get knocked off Echo's servers. Unlike you, however, I got disconnected in the morning, early afternoon, and near the close, not just near the close. I think I've lost connections to Echo at least three or...
