Qcharts is the Best thing I have seen. Hot and heavy doesn't hurt it but you can have problems like most net products. no extra cost for muti-machines. one of if not the lowest prices out there.

The features could take volumes. One (trade rate) that really is great for traders is a streaming update of 100 stocks with the most trades in last minute, updated every 30 sec. This is more important than volume to me.

Regarding multiple windows. I asked this question of the Quote.com folks a while back. They said that, for each account, I could run multiple copies of QCharts on the SAME system, but NOT different systems. I.e., you can't run QCharts on different systems simultaneously that log into the same account.

To run multiple instances of QCharts, you just run install in into different directories. I believe that is because it stores parameter information in the directory. I'm not sure why I would want to do this. I'm really happy with one instance of QCharts.

One other note...

I've been in the computer industry (software, hardware, services) in a variety of roles (development, support, marketing, sales) for 23 years. With the possible exception of my current code editor, I believe the QCharts is the best software product that I've used.

Regards,

Dan.

Steve,

Enjoyed your and others posts very much.

I am also a qchart user. I like it a lot.

qchart needs much less bandwidth, cpu or network, than rt3. I always ran into problems when opening too many charts in rt3. But I have not run into any bandwidth problem since using qchart (winnt helped also). Probably it's not exactly orange to orange comparison but that's my perception.

The only minus I have seen has been the bid/ask inaccuracy problem even after they have claimed fixed. Hopefully, it'll be addressed soon after sending in a screen shot today.

Oh! The biggest difference between them and the others that I have used has been their positive attitude toward their customers.

Give it a try. It's less expensive than rt3 datafeed.

Neither do I work for quote.com.

Good luck,
JT

Had a similar performance problem with WOW Day Trader and DTN satellite feed: fixed it with a high speed serial card (Pacific Commware) set at 460kb. I get 200kb+ consistently at the open, and peaks of 250-270 kb, so I was obviously losing a bit of data on a standard 115kb serial port.
