I'm going to throw my myself into it with a few comments/questions about qcharts. I'm a new user who was forced to abandon RealTick because it used way too much bandwidth to reliably work for more than a very few stocks (<5) over a 56k modem. Qcharts obviously does something drastically different. I can watch the entire Nasdaq 100 and still have plenty of bandwidth left over. I'm assuming rather than sending every trade and every tick you sample down to every couple of seconds or so. Good tradeoff. My comments focus pretty much around the charts. If there is anything you already do but I havent figured out, please let me know. #1 thing I would like to see is a real time plot of the bid and/or ask (would love to see both on one chart), not just the last trade. There is a lot more info in the bid to a trader than the last trade. Would be cool to not have it downsample the chart to 1 minute too. #2 is to have chart control features in ways that dont require using toolbars. The "symbol" and "interval" should be directly accessable for each chart either by clicking somewhere on the chart or with a right click. Right now there is no decent way to just change a chart from one symbol to another unless you can drag it from a table or you insist on having the ability to track the symbol in the toolbar turned off everywhere. Also would like to see easier zoom features. Basically I consider toolbars a waste of very valuable screen space and having to pan your eyes over to the edge of the screen a distraction from where you are actually looking-- the chart. All toolbar functions should be accesable through fn keys, right click, or at worst pulldown menus. I'm sure I'll have more as I get more experienced, but thats it for now. Thanks for listening. Eric
