Dear List,
This Qcharts that Robin has posted really does look interesting. If you
scroll down a little you can see that they have a small (39k) Qlink DDE
0.6 Beta file that will grab data real time from their servers and allow
you to use it in Excel with DDE. Interestingly, they have a developer
program for anyone programming in VB, C, Delphi, etc. to use the COM
architecture to write their own trading programs and use their servers.
Man, this is exactly what Tradestation is anyway. You are going to have
to program COM anyway if you want to have the versatility of interacting
with the TS global server in the first place. QCharts has a webpage at:

Also, the R/T quotes are more than half the price of BMI and others. I
have sent them an e-mail, and will seriously consider just using Excel
and Qlinks DDE program to chart my R/T data. It's so simple to set up
quote monitors in Excel, and then chart the data, and mathematically
manipulate it with the tools already pre-programmed into Excel. You also
have tabs at the bottom so you could have a bunch of spaces open. I bet
it wouldn't hog resources as much as TS 2000i either. If you aren't into
Excel, I noticed that they do have a charting program already available.
Just a "heads up". This could be good.
Best Regards,
Eddie
