open an acct with ib, innit...u got access to asia as well, free of charge; good money to be made there+excellent scanner/ah-premkt quotes and charts.
yes, tradestation provides all that without even beathing hard. i would say, just do it brotha (i.e. delegate TS account setup to your hapless clerk) and when it's done you won't give the issue a second thought. you'll just appreciate having a real time gap list at hand anytime you want it, consoldiated across NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ.
A new feature: I linked a 60 min price chart into my Hot List screen setup. This morning I click once on IIG and the news, price chart, market depth, and research all automatically change context to IIG information. Snapshot is from 8:35 am ET.
Don't laugh, but IQChart had a list of gappers by exchange that updated every minute on their applet. That was years ago but they still use the same software.
OK, I've decided to open an IB account. Can anyone recommend a competent contact person there for me to deal with?
Since INET dropped this month. The way it list's stocks in it's Top List. The really two best I've seen are already listed here. http://dynamic.nasdaq.com/dynamic/premarketma.stm http://money.cnn.com/markets/morning_call/
Yes, IB has a very nice 'Market Scanner' feature as well. IB snapshot attached from about 9:15 am ET. Will attach TS next. fwiw, IB picks up a few % Gainers that TS misses.
