My redi plus was down for the whole last half hour of trading. Missed most of the rally. Did anyone else have redi problems?? I am a redi supporter but what good is a system if it is down at the most important times of the day? May be time for a change.
Im not talking about the redi ecn i am talking about redi plus. Totally frozen. Could not send orders to anyone.
Just a note. Most of the time REDI+ freezing up is a local problem due to information "overload" (too many windows open with not enough RAM etc). I would suggest this configuration as a minimum for REDI+ IBM AT Compatible PC 500 MHZ CPU with 256 Megs of Ram -operating system-Windows 2000 Pro (preffered) or Windows NT 4.0 or greater with service pack 6. If you use another charting package with REDI+ have 512 Meg RAM on your computer. 512 Meg RAM is $150 or less!( a small investment for less headaches). Make sure your computer is maintained(disk defragmentation etc.) by qualified personal. REDI+ can use alot of computer resources, which is alot different than other programs such as IB's order entry software. REDI+ can do alot more than other order entry software, but needs alot more computer resources. Many times at Lieber & Weissman , we build and ship out tradestaions(configured & tested), so we can help traders avoid problems. If you have the REDI+ Option Montage Open and are looking at OEX ore SPX, DO NOT OPEN ALL STRIKES(SHOW ALL), your computer will freeze(CPU usage 100%!), have six max strikes open at one time. REDI+ can be very CPU intensive . Gene Weissman Lieber & Weissman Sec., LLC gweissman@stocktrade.net
