When it comes to daytrading, every second is important. Calling broker is the slowest method. You have to tell them your account information. What you want to do. They confirm and start acting it. The delay time is still too much. Sometimes if the market moves too fast, the broker is unable to...

Using 2 ISPs to ensure 100% uptime, possible?? Is it possible to use 2 ISPs to ensure 100% uptime? If so, how? 1) Do I need to buy a dual-WAN router to use 2 connections (1 as main; the other as backup)? What dual-WAN router should I buy? How much? Is there any wireless dual-WAN router...

I googled but I can't find what I want. They won't allow me to specify what date of stock quote I want to retrieve. For example I would like to get the closing price after the first month the stock goes public. But they can't do it.

Hey, do you know whether there is a free Excel addon which can retrieve stock data from Yahoo Finance (or other sources)? I would like to retrieve stock data of a specific date. For example, when I input this function "=getclose(MSFT, 2007-01-01)", it will get the closing price of MSFT on 2007...

Thanks for the link. It is hard to find such kind of info on the net. Thanks. "JSystemTrader is intended for software developers. It is not an “off-the shelf” product that can be installed and run." It appears it is not for a beginner like me since I know little about programming.

Okay, so how do you comment Tradestation as a brokerage firm? Good/bad? How good does it run the automated system? Reliable/stable platform? Also does anyone try to use Tradestation as a software only and send orders to third-party brokers? If so, how do you manage to do (apart from joining...

Sorry for my ignorance. What's p.o.o.?

I heard bad things about Tradestation as the brokerage. Anyway, I don't think it will charge me anything more if I automate the system. Am I correct? How about if I would like to use third-party brokers instead? Any good solution? That's never wrong, even if you are reminding people once...

That software charges me money per trade, which I think is ridiculous, unless I miss something. I don't think it is justified simply because it help me to place the orders.

I have searched for a while, but couldn't find the exact answer for my specific questions. Here's my concerns. Let's say I would like to run an automated system in Tradestation to IB. I'll take care of the coding of the trading system. But what about the automated part? After I have coded my...
