This might not matter to the traders needing the feed from AMTD...

I imagined the Medved boys had to sign a no competition clause,
with luck when Qt is dumped by AMERITRADE at the end of this year, they can come up with QT2

Quote from trader_mk:

I've been using Quotetracker for close to a couple of years and I've really come to appreciate the simple intuitive interface it provides as well as the level of customization it enables.

The single most wanted feature from Quotetracker that I would like to have in another charting tool would be the automatic plotting of horizontal lines at predefined user selectable price levels everyday such as the previous day's high, low, close, today's open and standard pivots S4 thru R4, etc.

I trade price action and many of my trades are put on or taken off around these levels. Having them automatically highlighted and price labeled everyday sets up so many trades and allows me to effortlessly execute them such as in AMZN today displayed in the chart.

I also trade around opening ranges, support/resistance and constantly watch for trend lines but since those can't be put in automatically, I draw lines to mark them which Quotetracker also makes so easy to do without having to explicitly select a drawing tool.

Anyway, that feature makes trading much more intuitive for me as opposed to not having them visually represented and if anyone knows of other charting software that I can try out with that feature let me know.

TOS has all the standard pivots and probably it is easy to setup a script to draw the daily high etc. as well. And it's free.

My main problem with any switch to TOS, besides the basic one that I love QT's customizability, speed, and SHORTCUT keys.

But a very basic one, is for some reason you cannot plot YEARLY pivots in TOS, it's not even an option in the scripting language.

WHY??

2 different people in tech support at Ameritrade both assured me it is Quote Scope and not Quote Tracker that is being phased

I've heard similar -- but bear in mind, TD staffers aren't too brite. My guess is, both products are going away.

I would think the non compete agreement would be based on time only and would not depend on whether TDAT discontinued using QT or sold QT unless TDAT sold QT back to Medeved (I do not see TDAT selling QT to anyone); But, I hope my thinking is wrong and QT will live on.

If TDAT kills QT, then a non-compete clause becomes meaningless, does it not?

Would depend on whether the agreement defines "compete" narrowly, or more broadly as "offer any trading platform." Bear in mind, <i>any</i> new QT-like product would compete, in a broad sense, with TD/ToS's other platform(s). Heck, that's why they're killing QT in the first place -- because they believe their other offerings are "close enough."
