    2 weeks ago i switched from tt to tt pro with a direct connect to cme. Is xstudy included, meaning if I wanted to enable it I could for free?

  2. Yes...you could request X_study at no charge (thru Alaron, im not sure about other firms)...Also, you should (thru Alaron) be able to direct connect to 7 exchanges, not just 1

  3. Yes TT_Trader and X_Trader will work on Vista (though not officially supported).

    There are a couple of little workarounds to get TT started up b/c of all the security features on Vista, but in the end it works just fine.

    Please feel free to contact me at Alaron for more information or help getting TT set up on a Vista machine.

  4. Obviously you need so much customers' money that you're suggesting to adopt a TT unsupported OS.... :eek: :mad:

    Which trader should risk his/her money trading with the Vista-TT combo?!

    Stay with XP Pro x32 / x64 and you will be happier until TT makes X_Trader fully Vista-compatible.

  6. Under 'Trade These Exchanges' Osaka and other Japanese exchanges have been "Coming Soon" for years. Do you have any idea when 'soon' might be?

    Thank you.

    yep, i've noticed this as well. that, and my confusion as to why sydney is live whilst HKFE (hong kong futures exchange) doesn't even make the 'coming soon'. HK: gateway to china, sydney: gateway to, ummm.... still thinking....

    go figure.

  8. I completely agree that (if possible) you should use XP. That holds true for any thick client trading platform...Call Ninja, or SR...TradeStation. They will all tell you the same. That the preferred OS is XP, but their platforms will work on Vista. Interestingly, MS looks to be scraping Vista in the near future with the release of Windows 7.

    Beyond all that, I use TT_Trader & X_Trader on XP machines, but I do also have it installed on a Vista machine for troubleshooting purposes and while testing does evidence that Vista is slower than XP...it is slower by milliseconds. So if someone wants to use TT and has only Vista as an option, the experience will still be better (speed, stability) with TT on Vista, then most anything else on XP. I'd say the only better routes are TT w/ XP, Ninja w/XP via TT fix, and Ninja w/ XP via Zenfire (Dorman FIX).

    And as for you assertion regarding needing money as if there is something deceitful going on...Not the case, I am pretty darn fair and at the end of the day will always present the facts from as level a playing field as I can. And come on, in this economy isn't business a little scarce...so Yes, i'd be lying if I said Alaron had all the business it can handle...I dont think you would hear that from anyone at any firm...Go ask the guys at Apple if they'd prefer if people stopped giving them money for their products b/c they do too much business. Frankly, Im shocked you would even say that. :confused:

  9. I'm shocked that a broker that must respect the strict TT standards over its TT-net infrastructure suggest its potential customers to use a not-approved OS as a valid point in order to attract more customers.

    The guys that choose TT must know that they choose reliability and speed with no compromise or unsafe workarounds in order to use Vista.

    We can say that TT offer an archaic or conservative GUI vs. other platforms, but I would like to see here a TT Developer Team or TT CSC affirm that we can use X_Trader in reliable way before listening and trusting a broker affirming that's the case.

    The customers and you can check the TT Forum for more reliable source (run a search with Vista), leaving aside other software such as SR or Ninja.

    The fact the TT Fix protocol is able to run on Vista with SR or Ninja has nothing to do with TT X_Trader standalone.

    XP Pro and Windows 2003 server are the current supported OSes for X_Trader; XP Pro 64 bit is an accepted exception.
    Also please note that we're talking about XP Pro not Home.

    This is a detail to be known because should happen an issue with a customer running Vista, he will not able to receive support by TT since a ticket would not be open.

    So you are potentially responsible to attract customers running Vista without assuring them an adeguate support in case of incident because of the TT CSC (correct) policy for support.

    Again, these details should be clear because are the consequence of the TT Software & Hardware requirements specified above.
