Fortunately complexity has nothing to do with making profits in the market. I like simplicity myself. Apparently I have been using QT since "98. One thing I didn't like about Ensign is you have to stretch your Ensign window across your monitors. I have monitors that are from different companies and it just doesn't work with Ensign. With QT, you can use any monitors you want and still be able to put charts, etc anywhere on any of your monitors and not worry about it. Plus, the charts didn't keep up with the quotes when I was using Ensign. The charts were real sticky. Like glue. Not very good T&S either. And Ensign likes to freak out, not too stable in my opinion. And for $39.95 a month? LOL... Sierra is about 3 notches below QT and Ensign... As far as printing with QT, just send it to your email box. It's easy to print charts from there... If you are into annotating your charts then just do it by hand after you print it. Been doing it for years... QT rocks...
QT is a good product I have used it since 1999 too. I have since developed a product (p&f charting) to help my own trading that uses the built in QT http server. The QT http server is the area that is lacking development in QT. I wish you QT guys do something about the crashes in the http server. if there is enough interest among QT users, I am hoping to release this as shareware soon. if any1 is interested, please pm me. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=508331

YM data - if you mean with Interactive brokers, it would be: ECBOTYM JUN 04 where there are 3 spaces after YM and 1 after JUN. You can of course change JUN to SEP, etc
