Hammer Trading Plateform

I have been introduced to Assent trading software trough
Pacific coast trading L.L.C . I have used other plateforms like
MBT Navigator, millinium direct (Shield or echotrade), meved quotetracker, platinum direx, speedtrader pro,.....

I have found all of them easy to understand and use. But
hammer seems to have words or features that i do not no
what for have to be used, and order types like "trailing and
pag best,... are not available.why?

Also i was not able to resize windows to fit my screen and
when you do that, fonts gets very smaller to see.

Also I have noticed that it may work well, in case you some
days you need to use with dialup 56k modem. I have to mention that i am using their demo version trough VPN/Citrix only.

Hammer doen not provide charting, but i can use other
software for charting with it.

I am not saying that this is not very good plateform, but
may not fit for those who are beginner or never fimilier with it.
I meant to say it is bite complecate, or may be i am complecating :)
 
For speed of execution, Hammer is by far the Best!

In the beginning, I too had problems with charting and resizing windows until I figured out from others that most professional traders do not even use Hammer Charts.

Take it from me, the Hammer Charting server goes down several times a day, and the charts are a complete joke, rarely "updating" in a timely manner or even correctly, for that matter!

Keep Hammer for your executions, and run E-Signal or REAL-TICK for your charting on another monitor. They are the Best!
 
I used Redi plus for years, I have used hammer for 3 months, it was made for traders. We are using E-signal for charting, etc. We have a link from Hammer to E-signal. The traders in my office can hit all ECNs, with Mega swipe, etc. they love it and are doing very well. It is the fastest execution system on the market, thats what trading is all about, IMHO.
 
I know the guys in charge of your llc, good guys. Call them with your problems, they will take care of you. I kind of skimmed through your post, but noticed you are using demo, which I have never seen a demo version that works right, and also, don't even try their charts. When I was at andover, they rolled them out, and they looked like my 2 yr old drew them with his crayons. Hammer is the best software out there in my opinion, but the andover charts suck, unless they have really changed in last year.

By the way, good choice of llc's, this is one of the llc's at andover that won't try to screw you.
 
You are correct, I have never tried to use Hammer charts. The software was meant for trading. When we used Redi, we used First alert for charting.

Our office now intergrates Hammer and E-sgnals. I have found this to be a very good combination.
 
call the llc owner or cameron

I want to appericate for your attention to my LLC. They need
6k as trader capital risk support. Do i have kind of insurance or
security for my money? Is there a way to find without asking them? Is this type of capital providing, commonly used be many
trader and nothing to be affraid of?

I am retail foreign trader, can i directly do this with andover with
initial 5-10k and may be a better per share price?

I am being charged 0.9 cent per trade inclusive of everything,
and no intrest charge for capital they provide.
 
I also wanted to know hammer allow trading well over 56k
modems or it has to be connected to a fast internet like Dsl,
cable, T1,since it is coming trough VPN/Citrix network.

I usually trade with other plateforms with 56k modem, and i have no problem buy/sell max 300 shars blocks when i am traveling around.
