Oups, I thought you said $30 per trade :) Well, that's too much of a hassle anyway. I'm OK with Ameritrade for now. Hopefully, they will not get...
That's make it $660 per month. Doesn't sound like a cheap one, right? :)
Man, I'm not going to argue with you. Just relax, take a look at your own numbers (30% CPU), then at mine (less than 1% CPU), think a bit,...
I did. In order to use feed you have to use them as a broker too, but they don't offer what I need (complex orders - like 'plus' orders of...
1. I would happily follow more than 1000 stocks, but there are not many stocks that trade frequently (one trade in 5 sec or more frequent). For my...
You overestimated expenses for the feed price and servers rent, and underestimated the salary, but overall yes, 200-300 clients is a breakeven...
This is not a problem. Problem is to find "jack of all trades", i.e. provider that meets minimum requirements. I can't believe that they still...
I'm not saying that it's bad. I'm saying there are still some (though small) inconvinuences, but the main problem is the price :)
I mentioned them in my post. And they still have mini-server program runs as a service (well, in this particular case I must admit this is almost...
Well, I solved all my security issues years ago - I'm in the 'stealth mode' in the Internet now. And yes, I keep only needed services running on...
I know for sure 2 brokers that do that: MBtrading (they call it "plus" order) Ameritrade (they call it "bracket" order)
Here is the story of my quest for the retail data feed provider. I used to be with an Opentick for 2 years. I was complaining about them - you...
No, it's not outstanding. First of all, this is max number. Min is close to 0. Second, 0.1% for $30K start capital is only $30 a day. Of course,...
Error was so stupid (or so classic) that I'm too ashamed to tell you. Oh, what the heck: I used bid in place of ask and ask in place of bid :)...
Heh, error found. Profit now is close to 0 :) I knew it was too good to be true.
I'll try to answer most of questions: 1. $2.24 is after fees. Fees are calculated based on MBTrade schedule ($0.01 per share first 500 shares,...
Hmm, your were right. To some extent. At $3mln it increases to ~18%, but at $30mln it dives down to ~2% (sorry, I only checked two market days to...
That's a good post for calming down. Although you wanted to kick me off :), but thank you for mentioning the scalability. I'll try that. So far I...
It's very close :)
