" That's why I stopped using Level II after a few
months, and went back to using only a streaming quote feed, and good realtime
charts."

You can say that again :-)

Len, who do you use for those good realtime charts?

Thanks,

Len,

You hit the nail on the head. Can't tell you how many trades I've missed when the TA said buy but there was big supply showing on L2 right above my intended entry point. Consistently, price hit that number, big volume shows and the MMs move out of the way. Of course, they're looking at the limit book and I'm not.

Am going to continue with L2 for now to see if I can detach and follow the technicals. If not, Real Tick charting alone is superb and pays for itself.

Alan

Where do you get the real time streams of quotes?
