They have Time of sales that dynamicall updates. You can link charts, news, and time of sales together. And you can do this for I belive for 12 different sets. Charts can be changed for different views, 5 minute, tick, daily weekly, with one click on the keyboard. You can drag from the quote page to the chart, news, or TOS and have the links update quickly. Charts are also easily zoomed in and out of. You can also have different setups, that can be switched between by one key.

The problem with them is that out of market quotes tend not to be greyed out once the TOS updates with a new quote from the specialist. If you're running a server from them, and quotes go down, you lose all data from them prior to the system going down. But they may have actually fixed that. In their new version the 3 column TOS can't be color coded. What you need to do is download the prior versions TOS module into the new version. At times, not that often recently, quotes get delayed by a few seconds. Hasn't cost me that much, but it can be annoying when you don't get an NX, when you clearly should have, but the bid or offer wasgone even though AT wasstill showing the quote.

But the positives outway the negatives. I just wish they would get fixes quicker. Sometimes they don't even put in fixes for several versions, and they don't get subversions or quickfixes to you until a new version comes out.

For example, ILX does not have dynamic TOS. So in order to update, you have to constantly retype or drag in the symbol. Makes it kinda difficult to watch several stocks. But I heard the new active ILX, which should be the combination of AT and ILX, may have put the best feature of both into that product. We'll see, we're supposed to Demo it soon.

Hmmm,

All very interesting...

If I am not mistaken, ILX is a broadcast datafeed, is it not?

Also, what firm do you trade for? It sounds as if traders work for you?
