I picked up on this & checked the links, to find that the (ESP) software is designed for use with RT III
The ESP program will actually work as a stand alone application, although the greatest value, IMO, is with integrating it into some form of charting and execution system. Personally, I would think intraday stock alerts would be useless without access to a charting package for quick analysis of the opportunity. The obvious choice was to integrate the ESP product into a combined charting AND execution platform. Since RT3 dominates this market (I believe, haven't seen any numbers though), they were the logical choice to integrate into.
is it possible that some people are using both qCharts & RT III?
It's possible, but not likely a large number of people. As you said, if you're trading with RT3, why would you want to pay for qCharts. Obviously, some people like Matt might use both for redundancy purposes (not a bad idea), but most will only see the redundant cost!
