Quote from Nana Trader:

I have been trading with Xoom almost five monthes now.
I don't use their charting and level II. I use Esignal now
and use medved Quotetracker (paid also) for differnet use
somtimes only.

Xoomtrade level II, T&S and charting lages or freezes
when market gets heavy (i compared hundreds of time
with Esignal and noticed these). when candlesticks produce
a long spike down/up and chart become shrinked (contracted)
and hard to see anything.
One word of advice: if you don't want to get fxxked up,
don't rely on xoom charting. But i did and paid for my mistake.

Btw customer service are fast enough to reply any question
but they aren't knowledgeable. I had sent them several
question in regard to thier platforms features via email
and i never recieved the reply and called them, they said
the right person for this is not available right now, they
never called back again, and won't blame them becuase
they didn't know it.
I WON'T EVEN BOTHER THEM AGAIN ASKING TECH Q'S on
the phone.

Overall this is a good firm for fast excution and good fees.
But don't expect any other benifit like charting and 3rd party
software support like you do with interactive brokers.

Check my rating on them, but since then my views have
changed little bit about this firm

So basically you are saying the platform is no better than IB? You still need a separate charting app?

No, i said you difinitly need esignal if you want to trade
at xoomtrade. I never trade with IB, so i can't make any
comment about IB, but some guys were saying even
esignal lages IB. That means IB is very reliable quotewise.

But one thing to point out here is that, Even when xoom
were laging esignal, if i placed an order to buy/sell, i was
geting the last price that shown on Esignal at xoom
excution. That means xoom excution has absoultly no
any delay in getting you perfect price.

"So basically you are saying the platform is no better

I think Yes

AAAintheBeltway,

sounds like QuoteTracker can fit the bill for you. As of 2 weeks ago, QuoteTracker supports XoomTrade data and integrated trading and is free (fully registered) to XoomTrade Platinum clients who login for trading through QT.

These are the points I though I should comment on. The others are not a problem:

4) Live intraday charts can handle up to 5 days of data. Historical charts are max 20 days intraday and years of EOD data.

5) QT remembers the layout as you left it from previous sessions and remembers various other window positions on a per symbol basis.

8) Pivots were just added in the latest beta versions of QT

And of course the support you will get is better than most other companies :)

Jerry,

Thanks, you are on top of things, no question about that. With QT is it possible to have multiple pages or workspaces and be able to access them quickly, ie with page up key?

We do not have multiple workspaces as you think of them since QT does not use MDI interface (where you have one window and all the others are inside of it). In QT, all windows are separate. Will be adding the multiple layout type options in the future, and possibly container windows

OK thanks, that clears up some confusion I had. I suppose I'm going to have to download a few demos and just try them. Or just keep RT. Or change the way I trade.
