  3. Isn't Quotetracker one of the free API's for IB? I've heard its good, but you have to store all data locally (on yer PC).

    BTW, my expenses:

    Qcharts $96
    CSI for long term commodity data $36
    Total: $132

    I used to pay $800 plus in the late 80's, which was the going rate back then for live data delivered via sattelite.

  6. SierraCharts $7/mo (need IB or myTrack acct)
    HQuote Pro (one time charge $55) for swiping free historical
    data, display in SierraCharts.

    I used to use QCharts, but find the above setup superior. It took a little getting used to though.

  9. Are you scalping these on a 1 or 5 min. chart? These stocks don't seem to have enough range.
