To some of those who have commented so far: Yes, I know TT is not legally obligated to make this right. Thank you very much.
Trading Technologies cancelled my order—what would @Rick_TT Rick Lane say? On the late afternoon of Friday, May 5, 2017, during market hours, I...
Hey Tradovate: That's fine, but why not also offer a simple DDE for Excel API? Maybe something similar to what Interactive Brokers provides....
