He's been playing with IB's <a href=http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/highlights/twsHighlights.php>TWS</a> and has been using <a href=http://esignal.com/>eSignal</a> for a few years. Is there other software he should investigate? <br /><br /> He not very quick with the computer, "right-click" still poses challenges for him. I'm willing to provide tech support but I'm several states away. I'll set up a remote control facility on his system if needed. I was out there this weekend install and upgrading the above software, and wondered if there are other products he should look into. Any good discussion forums for the technology, not polluted with "hot tips"?<br> <br> He's retired from Wall Street and very aware of the risks involved. post:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.20740 Tue, 05 Jul 2005 05:42:54 -0800 sohcahtoa daytrading techsupport futures
