Looks like remote trading suits amateurs just fine.

Big Money traders require T 1's - NOT DSL, NOT cable.

Be real... you are just another number to any firm.

And remote is not reliable.

I have been trading remote with Echo for over a year, now. I haven't had any problems using a cable modem and a dsl line for backup. In fact, I get speeds up to 2.0mbps with my cable modem and echo's software can't even handle more than 700mbps anyways. I don't care who tells you what <b>having a T1 doesn't mean that you get faster data</b>.

I have traded from an office with a full T1 and speed tests on those connections only return a dissapointing 300mbps since there are 30 people accessing one connection. So what they tend to do in offices is allocate a minimum amount of bandwidth to each trader.

If you ask me trading remote is the way to go, not trading from an office. Plus, you always have a bunch of cowboy bitch-boy traders who get pissed of in the morning and ruin everyone's day.

As for "big money" traders. They all use T1's, cable modems, and dls lines. Besides, how many of them do you actually know?

Echo's feed is so damn fast from their side that I don't think you should have a problem accessing it remotely.

Has anyone here programmed in VB with Sterling's API? I think you can submit orders from VB into Sterling BUT can VB get stock price data -bid/ask/open/size from Sterling? thanks

I haven't tried it with Sterling, but with Echotrader2 (Instaquote).
I'm currently working on some software that accesses it's data and as well can post orders over the API. Data is requested over DDE
