Jon: Very informative. I have recently moved to Quote.com's live chart page which I superimpose over my Real Tick screen. I find that the interface is excellent via Quote.com for switching between time frames(10 min,60 min,day) and stocks/indices.

I typically watch the Dow, Nasdaq charts intraday in variable time frames. As well I typically scan stock charts in variable time frames throughout the day.

I found Real Tick to have good charts but set up is a pain during the day when you want to look at alternate charts. The other thing I found to be a pain with Real Tick charts were days when trading ended early such as on the 24 th. My Dow intraday chart shows a flat bar until normal trading would have occurred this really sucks.

Otherwise I use 1 marketminder screen - for large cap, volatile, 1 million plus avg volume NASDAQ/NYSE stocks.It displays symbol, tick, last, change, bid size, bid, ask, ask size, day high,day low, tot volume.

1 or 2 Level 2 screens for stocks I am trading.

1 or 2 previous trade screens.

Jon I am not familiar with screen sizes but your's sounds huge:) What is that a 21 inch screen? or larger?

Is it possible to drag and drop a symbol straight from the marketminder screen to a chart?

Happy Holidays

Jon & ALL: I am trying to improve my set ups for 10/60 minute bar charts. Currently I find it very difficult to track the last trade on the most current bar. Any Thoughts?
