    IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!

    I had two occasions this weekto talk to IB, and both times was told that the return to single click is not imminent. But I found this AutoHotkey program, which can copy and then repeat the 'click on BT Button, and click on Confirmation button' sequence, with the keyboard hotkey of your...

    IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!

    My buttons are under the Quote Panel and above the ladder. I did not know there was a choice. davez

    IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!

    Thanks for the reply, Pescador. Buttons in BT is what I've used for years (though sometimes BT hotkeys) but for months now those buttons (and BT hotkeys) trigger the popup confirmation window. In my buttons setup, I did before and still do have the 'instant order execution' box checked, but...

    IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!

    Your idea would be ideal, dont. In the order confirmation popup, the default button is 'Cancel'. So when that popup is open, keying 'enter' would cancel the order. I suggested to IB that they make the 'Transmit' button the default, then with one hand on the keyboard, and one on the mouse I...

    eSignal sucks ! Problems galore

    Your comment about getting the hang of the new program and design hits the nail on the head. A trader (a day trader especially) uses a system that has been developed and improved over many years, and part of that system is how the trader interacts with his software. How can a trader stay 'in...

    eSignal: false high/low of day alerts

    This topic went in another direction, but I did get an answer to my original question. The simultaneous high/low-of-day alerts will not be fixed in the current release. Apparently that feature hasn't been added to the new release yet, but presumably will be working then (now early next year)...

    eSignal: false high/low of day alerts

    Every single day, at about 70 minutes after the Open, my high-of-day and low-of-day alerts trigger TOGETHER for every index symbol ($xxx) I watch in eSignal. Obvioulsy both the HOD and LOD prices are not being hit at the same time. I reported this last January. eSignal acknowledged it was...

    Hello Jay, Would you recommend this release for active day trading (are some of the 'known issues' related to essential functions), or would you suggest waiting for the next release for trading? Thanks Dave

    After 5 yrs, may switch off Tradestation, cheaper alternative?

    Hey Spup A few issues that I have with eSignal ( in each case not a TradeSation issue). 1. eSignal can not presently end the data flow on 60 minute charts at 4:00 EST. The first 30 minutes of after-market data is included (to make the full hour). I cursed this issue again this morning as...

    After 5 yrs, may switch off Tradestation, cheaper alternative?

    Comparing eSignal to your TS likes: - color coded links - yes, eSignal has this - if by customizable quote lines you mean like RadarScreen, no, eSignal does not have this, and does not seem to have it high on the priority list - multiple tabs (like TS workspaces), eSignal will have this for...

    My gut feel would be that if your video cards can handle 10.5, then they should handle V.11 even better since I think some of the video processing occurs in the main CPU (in addition to the graphics card processor), hence better cause of multi-thread design. But I'm not an expert, so I hope...

    I guess it depends how you look at it. Is V 11 ahead of its time, or long overdo? If the latter, then requests for features that most other trading software already have is enntirely justified. If the former, I agree that requests for new 'frills' are not so justified.

    Hello Jay, Please remember to also include a HotKey for resetting Global (Daily High/Low Price) Alerts, as opposed to the 10+ keypresses needed now. Thanks davez

    eSignal 11 Preview

    Hey Jay, As you know, in the eSignal forum I asked once again if eSignal charts will now be able to end at 4:00 pm (instead of also including the first 30 minutes of after-market data). Again the answer was no, with no firm plans to fix this. I've asked for this fix from eSignal every few...

    nVidia card working in Dell XPS 435T?

    Yes, I'd heard that running video cards by different manufacturers was asking for trouble (even with XP), so removing the ATI drivers was one of the first things I did. Thanks for the suggestion. And between multiple calls to Dell, nVidia and Microsoft, I've un- and re-installed the nVidia...

    nVidia card working in Dell XPS 435T?

    I just bought a Dell Studio XPS 435T with an ATI video card (the only choice was ATI). I've tried replacing it with nVidia Quadro NVS 285 and 290 cards and though the driver appears to load, I get the yellow '!' in device manager, with a Microsoft code 12 error (can't find enough resources)...

    New Computer, Vista, 64 bit, video cards

    I admire those that know enough about computers that they can build or modify them to suit their needs / preferences. I can add video cards or memory or change a fan, but the questions above are a good example of why I buy off the shelf ... not only have I no idea of the answers to those...

    New Computer, Vista, 64 bit, video cards

    : ... a few hundred more than what?" A good question. I built the T3400, and after a cut and paste job to add it with the others, attached is the comparison of the four Dell computers I'm considering, from cheapest to most expensive: 1. Studio XPS: (3rd column) Pros: Cheapest, tied for...

    New Computer, Vista, 64 bit, video cards

    Dell does not have the ability to skip the ATI card - I'd be happy with no card from Dell. I've begged for them to put in one of the many dual DVI nVidia cards they supply in similar computers but nope, their system does not allow it. Maybe if I commit to buy on that condition some mgr can...

    New Computer, Vista, 64 bit, video cards

    If I knew a local builder I'd consider that, but I would be tech challenged to know how much better a local builders components were than Dell's (who I know do not use best quality parts). But its gotta be in Dells interest to use reasonably decent parts. Dell's service has usually been good...
