this is the last thing i wanted to hear. i can't trade without QT. NT is still inferior even with their latest s/w release.

i might even quit trading and go into farming as Jim Rogers suggested.

If the software was written in some obscure old language and no one but Jerry can support the beast some clever young programmer should come along and look at it and then start programming (using JAVA) charts that look and act just like QT, along with all the other bits that make it superior to anything else that is out there. Believe me, the heavy lifting has been done already. Reverse engineer the thing and all the people who loved QT will flock to the new one. For people who know programming this is not rocket science even though the rest of us might have no clue where to start.

To be successful in trading there are some of us who don't need 18 million bells and whistles. Good charts, simple trend line drawing tools, some Fibonacci along with that awesome symbol list with it's properly blinking price, bid, ask, high and low prices, combined with the averages printed at the top are about all I need. When it's gone my 'eye' into the market will go from 20-20 to something less. I'm working on a replacement but nothing quite like it is showing up.

For the record. SierraChart will do everything with IB backfill that it will with live data (allowing for the backfill's granularity) so you can do volume charts on live, 5 sec, or backfilled data.

Reading this news is depressing. No comparison with ToS which I've been running at same time. Gotta find a similar prg to QT just in case this does come about. ToS does offer AMTD tie-ins like CNBC but way to horsey listing of stocks. No real Portfolios and such for fast scanning.
I imagine QT will work for awhile with ETrade and Yahoo but no idea how long that goes.
Need same kind of look & features. Portfolios, charts, alerts. trades. news feeds are the most important features to me.
Thanks guys. Looked at Sierra Chart but costs coin, while QT free thru the TDA site and ETrade feeds.
Heck even the TDA sire itself is better than ToS.

What can I replace QT with? I need customized MACD and Stochastics and I need it on a 30 minute interval for daily charts.

Any ideas?

I will be happy to close my TDA account once QT goes away. The place is a joke of a brokerage for daytrading.
