>I have been using realtime AIQ for several months and I think it's pretty good. Even without realtime, I think AIQ is the best software I've ever had, wouldn't want to be trading without it. I think you can get a 30-day trial version if you're interested. Good luck. - Bill And a question here, Bill. :) As you, I use MyTrack and have looked at their charts as well as AIQ's - I have the full program in here but never activated it. IMO, the charts in both are very poor - IF what I am seeing on the MT demo's is all one gets in the charts. I activated INVESTOR R/T through MT and the charts are the best I have ever seen for use of a daytrader - besides the "normal" items available in a charting program, they have two red/green indicators right on the edge of the chart showing the bid/ask in realtime. Also, the 1 min bars show a tick by tick on each trade as it is happening until it paints that minutes bar and then starts another. Another item I like is that their Stockastics allows you to plot 3 indicators - slow/med/fast - instead of the 1 or maybe 2 in most other programs. The problem is that of all the data providers that IRT uses, it seems that Tarc Data uses a different manner in delivering the data and I have had nothing but trouble with bad data since I started with the program. Mr. Lynn says he now has figured out the problem and it will be fixed shortly - meanwhile, I have paid for data that was useless and MT doesn't seem to care one way or the other. My question is - even with what I consider poor charts in AIQ, is it a program that is useful for daytrading or better suited to longer term trading? Tks for your time - jb

Thanks for your info. About two months ago, after having tried almost all porgarms in the market and seeing how they worked, I became involved in developing an in-house screening program. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I do not know when or if it will be made available to public but it does what I always searched for. It screens real-time info fast and accurate enough for me to get where I want to be shortly after the party has begun. I finally have the lead time that I have always searched for. It also allows for users to create their own mini programs and screens or modify the existing ones. I got all my filtering programs set up already. AIQ is great for the price but is very limited as to the number of securities it tracks on real time. Thanks for your tip anyway. Good luck trading,
