Ever since they went public, they have been putting a lot of new features out. The rate is too fast. They should test it more 1st. I am sticking with Build 878 to be safe. I find 879 is not stable enough.
I agree. Ever since they went public the bugs and bad tech support have gone from bad to worse. I used to recommend them to new traders all the time, but I don't think I can honestly do that now.
OPW, Are you able to make Quotetracker bigger than what you showed in the attachment? I installed Crossover, but I am not able to expand Qutoetracker to show more rows. Thank you.
Found the thread, reading and learning. I am just getting started trading. I have a macbook and plan on buying a cinema display. Can you more experienced individuals offer your advice. What broker shoul I use, IB or someone else? What charting software should I use? What configuration do I set up? Do I need any additional software such as crossover, etc.? Please be as detailed as possible. I appreciate everyones help very much and thank you all in advance.
IB is a good broker as their platform runs Java (now 1.6 courtesy of the latest apple update) There are a few other Java based Brokers For charting I prefer the windows based solutions. Crossover is OK, but not there yet in a lot of instances. However Paralles or Fusion (Now the 2.0 Beta Release 1) are great, work very well with a mac and allow Unity/Coherence mode for near seamless integration. Make sure you have 2GB of memory (minimum) to run these along side your OS X apps. I recently upgraded to a Quad system for trading. Not because I needed it, but because it allows the system to run at idle with everything at 5-6% processor usage.
I'm running an iMac 24" purchased at the end of February. I have VMWare Fusion running XP and software from Open ECry as my futures broker....no problems!
