vs - data burst and trade stations: Already spotted one that interfaces with eSignal: BESTdirect (from Peregrine). Click 'n trade. Or is it eSignal trading though Peregrine. demo pfgbest.com Seen another one, but forgot to take note of it. (If I remember, they also had DDE links). As the people on the IB-TWS thread are not happy with the new Java version (hard to change old habits I suppose) I prefer to look for alternative interactive trade systems. Will probably have ended my tour this WE.

TWS demo is not really meant as a simulator for trading. just a demo of features and mechanics. but during the day, the quotes should be RT. I'll put a stmt out there and let others w/ more futures experience comment or correct me... trading NQ seems a lot like trading the momo internet stocks when they were in their hayday. so if you're familar w/ real (or paper) stock trading, I would say your (mkt order) fills are subject to the same slippage as for highly liquid, fast moving Naz stocks. (except for the stop running on the emini's of course :-) as for ISDN, look at IDSL (if you can't get regular DSL or cable modem). IDSL is just like ISDN, but has no per-minute charges and you are always connected (and no voice/data splitted)
