Hi JPh and everyone,
This is my first post on SI, and I am a brand new user of CyberTrader, or CyberT at the moment. I am new to trading, though I have researched day trading extensively. As I researched it, I brought in trial systems from many day trading service vendors, dealt with a host of broker/dealers, software developers, and support staff.
While not having dealt with any other vendors (other than paper trading through their systems) with funds like you have, I have had some similar experiences. My background is technical, having done everything from real-time unix kernel development, to systems integration and analysis for various databases, as well as internet firewall systems implementation. I found this put me in an interesting situation when dealing with the various day trading firms, and asking them questions about their remote trading environments.
I can say that CyberBroker, initially, and over time, has been the only vendor to accurately, suitably, and politely address the issues I have brought up. Technically speaking, I am actually stunned by what they are doing and how they are doing it. Please understand that I am not the type who is inclined to write glowing praises about anything like this...in fact, I never have before.
I am convinced of one thing in particular...if I can't make money with CyberTrader, it isn't going to happen. The tools that they provide are probably 2 evolutionary cycles ahead of any competitive product that I was able to lay my hands on or even read about. I am currently working with CyberT 1.2Beta, and its the most stable piece of software I have used in a long, long, time. In all seriousness, I wish they would port it to Linux, and I would kiss Microsoft goodbye in a heartbeat.
My internet link is satellite based, which is not really suitable for trading, I think, due to latency problems. From a technical standpoint, I think the k56flex or Frame is the way to go. That link is so crucial. Like others following this thread, I am paying very close attention to what success/problems others are having with various communication setups. Please share with us...
I think I am rambling...my main point was to concur with you regarding your dealings with other vendors. It is evidence of something I have often had to deal with as a technical person. What the vendor/seller should say is "I don't know why it isn't working", rather than making a wild guess which you, as a customer, must put some credence in and take seriously. They don't mean to mislead you, but they are doing more harm than good. As a new trader, I get all kinds of "investors" telling me to do this or that...if I took any of them seriously, I would be in big trouble.
I highly suggest you give CyberBroker a try; technically, they have a lot on the ball.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed so much to this thread and the others I have been reading, and thank you CyberBroker.
