Alan, I'm agree with what you said, as far as it goes. I think that a few of the CyberTrader bells and whistles could be useful. How much is that worth? I'm still not sure, that's why I'm asking questions. But, I'm looking at more than just order entry... I want a complete solution that includes a good scanning package. Now EricP has created one and the folks at MTrader have one called MWatch. Both are different, but both seem to provide useful value that supports different trading styles. Problem is that they only run on RTIII. No QCharts feeds and no CyberCorp feeds allowed. I don't particularly like RTIII. And, RTIII doesn't run on W2K. So this option is out of the question for now. While the CyberX + QCharts combination has many features at a reasonable price, there are no scanning capabilities. So, I developed my own scanning software. (No, it's not for sale.) Good news is that it works pretty well. Bad news is that it is not focused as well as ESP and MWatch. Further bad news... I can make it focused like one of those systems, but it's a lot of work. So I'm not sure I like that option. Now CyberCorp does provide a scanner called CyberQuant. It may provide useful value, but I find it a bit confusing. (Given that I've developed my own scanning software, I shouldn't find any scanning software confusing.) Also, it seems to be a bit more aimed at swing/position traders and not daytraders. Given it's current state of development, I'm not interested. I don't like this option either. So, the bottom line is that there is no perfect combination of scanning software, analysis/charting software and order entry software. That's the underlying issue. Oh, well! Regards, Dan.
