Hi Mike,

 

I use the Infinity AT platform which uses the Transact data (free), and I use MarketDelta charts. Not sure if you trade live or not, but Infinity offers free 30 day demo. Sign up here thru my broker Tom Duffy and receive a special commission rate: Infinity Futures

You might want to take a look at Multicharts. Its basically a TS clone, but with more bells and whistles.

Thank you for yours answers, but I prefer use Tradestation because I have some indicators and strategies who not function well with Multicharts. My problem is setup Transact in Owndata, is a require field to put the "server name" and I don´t know what is. Can someone help me?

 

Thank you

hmm.. thats weird since it should work fine. Maybe as TAMS, he seems to use it a lot and seems to like it more.

Hi trader273,

 

I try with TAMS, but Owndata seems that want to connect and minutes later said "Timout Do you want to retry?" This is weird because in Multicharts perfectly works.

If someone use this can help me with the correct setup?... Please

 

Thank you

I was using Transact Infinity AT. This datafeed was a disaster. Good luck if want to trade on Sunday.

Hi TLA,

 

Sorry you had a problem with the platform. What exactly was the issue with the datafeed and what time were you trying to "trade" on Sunday?

 

Were you using a demo or trading live?

 

I personally have over a hundred customers trading daily on AT with no problems, and our firm has many times that. Before you flame the platform why don't you ask for help? Maybe we can fix the problem for you.

 

Best regards,

TLA,

 

Your comments on this forum lead me to believe that you don't good data from bad data. And why in the world would you want to trade on Sunday. Trading on Sunday is for suckers.

TraderJean,

 

Your remark seems to be missing a word or two. The data from Infinity was missing a few ticks or two. I suppose that's not important to you. Different strokes for different folks.

I prefer charts and sentences with complete data. I make decisions based on data. My experience has shown that Infinity was flawed in this area. I could go into further detail here, but I feel that in a forum where people can freely express their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with a service - I believe a "thumbs down" is all that is necessary. Perhaps they will improve in this area. For their customers' sake, I hope they do.

TLA,

 

Again I would like to say I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the demo and if I knew the details of your situation I would try to help. I did PM you for details of your problem but you did not respond.

 

The demo might have been down on Sunday I don't know. I know the live platform was up because I have live customers who traded Sunday. I've been with Infinity for 4 years and have never seen a live platform outage of that type. The demo does not have the same degree of infrastructure commitment the live platform does. The AT simulator is meant to mimic the live platform not exactly duplicate it.

 

Reading a couple of the other posts on this thread I would just like to say this. I have never been critical of any other firm, data vendor or broker. I try to let the Infinity AT product and my support & service speak for itself. There are a few live traders on this forum who have expressed positive views of Infinity AT. They should also be free to express their opinions without ridicule.

 

TLA you are fairly recent to this forum and you don't know me very well, so I'll let most of what you say go without comment other than to say that there were no complaints filed at the NFA or any other regulatory agency about the alleged complaint and any assertion to the contrary is without merit. You can see for yourself at National Futures Association - NFA is a regulatory service provider for the derivatives markets

 

 

Now I also know that message boards and forums are places where people are free to express their opinions and even rant a little if they want. So keep it up! I enjoy reading your posts and learning from you all.

 

 

My purpose here is to assist anyone who needs help with the Infinity AT platform. If you need help let me know and I will try my best to help. I think most here know I mean that sincerely.

 

 

 

Tom

TLA,

 

Funny post, yea i skipped a word. Glad you were able to fill in the blank.

 

I would rather play nice than bitch back and forth with you. I really don't see the flaw in the AT data maybe because I'm on the live platform instead of the demo and I use DTN for backfill or maybe using MarketDelta charts instead of Sierra makes a difference. I don't really know.

 

You gave your 2 cents and I gave mine. Lets move on.

 

Best regards,

 

TraderJean

There is a movie on this site comparing transact to IB.

 

Seems pretty good to me.

 

Any comments?
