  1. Since BOA has put its free trade hat in the ring...

    Can you imagine free trades with true direct access via TDA and QT ...........

    Nothing is so certain as change itself....

  2. From what I understand, it was started by users and only the owner
    and participants have control over it...:cool:

  3. Yes that is correct

    I was just about to edit my post...

    www.QTusers.com has no connection with any broker.

    Owned and run by Traders and QuoteTracker Users

    Colin, thanks for the link to the new forum. Are you guys going to try to get access to the old QT forum archives?

    Ameritrade?

    The only person I know who uses Ameritrade is that hack from Law and Order.

    $60 a year?

    OR

    $60 a month?

    I wonder which it'll be.

    Good for Jerry.

    Good for Ensign.

    We'll see if its good for QT users.

    You know who should have bought them?

    Who's in need of some good charting?

    IB.

    And you know the fees for non-IB customers would have been reasonable.

    Worse come to worse, Just going to have to open an Ameritrade account. I hope they don't or won't have any inactivity fees.

  8. Yes trying to but it will be slow going as everything has to be passed by the brokers compliance

    The new www.QTusers.com user group has already a number of sessioned QuoteTracker traders with years of knowledge of QT so i'd expect most questions and problems could be dealt with by them

  9. The real value of QT lies in its numerous data adapters for different quote sources. How have they achieved this remains a secret until this day. Despite what QT has claimed, most of brokers don't offer programming interface for quote data consuming.

    It's a shame that providing real/eod quote data service is still an advantage to some of today's brokerage in the line of service they've provided. Fortunately, Bank of America has lead the way to offer free stock trading, then free quote data should be the next.

    QT has its time mostly due to the scarce of trading resources, transaction, data etc since the beginning of the discount/online trading era. Beyond QT, the jewel of trading will be analytics, strategy based, money management, dynamic portfolio, where some trading software have made limited attempt, wealth-lab, tradestation, eSignal to name a few, mainwhile a new breed of trading software has started to emerge.
