Quote from JM64:
I am part of a group of traders that meet everyday on Yahoo, using the voice chat. We have been at it for a couple of years and are trying to get to the next level but am having trouble figuring it out. Heres the rub. We would like to be able to be able to put both a level 2 and a chart into a voice chat so we could all view a trade in progress. I am certain yahoo cant do it but does anyone know a good program to run it?.........Btw we trade mostly Nasdaq if anyone is interested in joining our group we have a few spots..........
There are lots (well over a hundred) of software programs that allows voice chat, video conferencing and image view sharing (sometimes called whiteboard).
They are sometimes called
virtual offices and the better ones will cost a pretty penny due to their
true realtime collaboration.
Use Google search engine and within an hour or so...you'll probably write down the names of about +100 software or virtual offices.
Search words like...
* Web Conferencing
* Realtime Conferencing
* Virtual Offices
Some have free trials or demos to help you decide which is best for your needs.
Just make sure all those in your group purchase the same software and have a computer that's able use the software properly without little performance lag.
More importantly, I don't recommend such to be done on the same computer your broker trade execution platform is on.
Simply, your going to need two computers...one for trading and the other for your realtime collaboration.
If you do need to share the view of an actual trade in progress of your trade execution platform with all members of your group...
Just be aware there's going to be a good lag unless you have top computers designed for such...much more than the system requirements on the software.
