Might sign up or email them (if I could find an email addy!)...anyone out there use these guys with IB? If you use your IB account and the live price plugins, do you have to pay separate fees for all of the products? I noticed they have an FX product separate from their main product. Anyone use them?

Cheers! (and thanks)

Maybe we could get back on track and answer your question if you explained what the IPTS function is. I used to have Bloomberg Pro but I didn't use it for charting and I've never heard of IPTS.

Traderguy,

How much do you pay for Bloomberg Pro?

ITPS is a simple parabolic stop, that is available with every run of the mill charting package..

You don't need to pay USD 1700 for a Bloomberg, when you can get all the indicators you want for USD39 (and more customisable than Bloomberg).

Some example of the charts are at my BLOG.. (created on Ensign Software with IB feed)...

"By KAY LARSEN of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES" That this article is biased is not surprising, being that it is written by someone from a competing news service. It doesn't seem to dawn on Kay Larson that the customers that can afford Bloomberg and Reuters' would never switch to an internet based service. Speed and reliability are too important.

speed & reliability... i use bloomberg both via my primary access and via the browser-based 'bloomberg anywhere' access day in and day out and in any manner of critical trading conditions... no difference whatsoever... internet's safe enough pal ;-)

even better... i asked BT Radianz to try and improve on what i was getting from my ISP from home, their leased line solution was simply no better, performance-wise (ping performance), than my ISP's... only they wanted to charge thousands of $s / mth just for the line Â@ :-)

)))))))))))) what a joke!!!!
