Yep, this is the prop trading "model". It insures you can never go automated with your trading. Order entry with one data stream and charts with a separate data stream/feed....not an ideal set-up IMHO.Quote from Gaddock:
When I was prop trading I used ESignal Pro for analytics and Goldman Sachs Redi for placing orders.
I just interviewed with a Hold Bros satellite office....same thing. Graybox for order entry and ESignal for charting.
And Graybox has some real issues....like no warnings for stupid order qualifier mistakes. Like for instance, enter a stop order away from the market and if it's tagged as IOC, it will just silently cancel your order. Very primitive IMHO.
