I have found the anvil platform to be the best so far. I traded with a few equity firms and with Arima using the anvil. very advanced and customizable. For scalping i highly recommend it although I do a bit of chart trading as well. Seems ever since the hybrid came into play on the nyse it has been harder to scalp these days.
what brokerage firm/software are you using for scalping?

not knocking TOS....!!!
i put the YM contract on my pc @ the same time w/ TOS and Ninjtrader/zenfire/mirus tonight.
the volume is LOW... compared prints.. there was at times (large move) a 5 or so second delay before the TOS chart printed..
now the DOM might of printed but i currently trade off the chart..
been wondering why i get stopped out so quickly w/ tos when i place a mkt order..
i now know why
fwiw

I know what you're talking about but I don't trade charts for entry, only for setups. I put their price feed against my Transact and it was identical. As stated in other threads, the TOS chart may lag by a few seconds in a big volume move but the price feed is dead on. I know that the Prophet charts do not lag and I have used them before in TOS.

Bull-honkey (not meant to be derogatory to whites). Trading Technologies has got nothing on Ninja Trader.
X_trader has so many issues and no easy way to incorporate functionality with charting. TT charts ain't got to line to the dragon; how do you see through the cornfields to the rainbow?

I recently downloaded Ninja Trader for the first time and it was a lot better than I expected. I think it's more powerful than a lot of people realize. I really like Quotetracker too though, and I've been using that along with StockVision (as my real-time stock screener) for a couple of years. However, I might try and set up some automated scalping strategies with Ninja Trader and then run them on the best stocks I find in StockVision.
