Herndon, VA (PRWEB) October 10, 2011

CFN Services, Inc., the leading provider of managed high-frequency trading enablement services, announced today that Selerity, a provider of real-time event data solutions for the financial services industry has selected CFN Services’ Alpha Platform™ to extend low-latency access to its event data worldwide. Electronic traders can now access Selerity’s low-latency event data locally without the use of long-distance telecommunications infrastructure in all major global financial centers.

ummm…. interesting question…

Q&A: Day Trading…Charting software and data subscriptions?

Question by joe: Day Trading…Charting software and data subscriptions?
I’m slowly getting involved in day trading. I’ve interviewed a few day traders that I know, I’ve done a lot of research, now I want to do it (paper trade, at least, for now).

I set up an account with my broker (interactive brokers). I want to, for the first couple months, just have the account open, and use their paper trading feature, just to get a little experience trading, before risking my capital.

But now I’m wondering about charting software, and monthly charges for data. I want to use software different from the standard software provided by interactive brokers.

I’m trying to search and browse for charting software, but all the good ones that I can see have subscriptions of +$ 30/month. But what if I’m already paying a data feed subscription from interactive brokers? Will I always have to pay a monthly fee JUST to use the charting software? What is good charting software (see below… windows or mac)?
If this is the case, it really defeats the purpose of my paper trading idea. I want to fund an account, but for the first couple months, just use the paper account that comes with every account, just to practice, and learn. I have accepted the fact that I will have a small price per month (only $ 10 for IB) for data, but since I’m not actually making money, there is no way I can afford to pay other monthly charges, for different charting software.

I don’t want to use IB’s software when I will be paper trading. The whole point is for me to learn the software that I will be using when the real time comes.

P.S. I’m on a mac. I could use a windows box, but I’m taking my macbook to college. I will be bringing my 24″ external monitor, but I don’t want to lug around a separate windows box. BUT, if there exists a really good options for me on windows, I;m open to bootcamp. So please, windows or mac suggestions. Thanks!

Answer by Common Sense
I use two Brokers: Interactive Brokers & ThinkOrSwim
I must tell you… I hate the IB platform. I pay a bit more with TOS (negotiated rate) but do most of my trading with them.

You will not believe how great the TOS platform is. There are two charting packages, Scanning, “heat map” a a few other tools to find stocks in play. It will take you weeks to appreciate it all. The “active trader platform” is great for day traders….. I just dropped my last data package ($ 75 a month for the Market Gauge “Hot Scans” product…. great product…. but the TOS platform helps me find what I need at no additional charge. The stock back-testing is assume (real time past data with fast forward)….. no charge….. Great Webinars on the platform and general trading that once you hear them…. you’ll be amazed they cost nothing.

This link will bring you to their webinar page. The weekly wrap-ups are OK…. but the “chats” are what makes them great.

Get the paper trading download & check it out. Watch/Listen to the Shadow Trader during market hours…. that alone is worth dealing with them.
