My rule of thumb? Once a vendor flakes out, I'm done using that vendor for the duration of the day. I won't return to them until the next session....
Yep, Man is my main (I also have a seat on the CBOT), TS is my 'if I need it' backup and IB is my long term/swing trading account.
OK, here's my setup which works for me. Is it the 'best' combination? I doubt it, but when things happen, this is what I've muddled around to....
Is that directed at me Slackeral?
Do you mean to tell me you guys bitching don't have a backup chart vendor? Shit like this happens. It sucks, but we're using an inexpensive...
Been down here outside Chicago and have stayed down. No rerouting has occured. I still am unable to get the connection manager to connect.

I think the point I'm making about emotions and the point some of the others are making about technicals are both correct. IMO, one cannot have...
Lefty, While I do agree with your statements that the prep work is mandatory, but, at least for me, and I'd bet the vast majority of traders,...
