Funk -

I am not even attempting to argue with you...but have you checked out Penson's short list, or a Speers, Leads, Kellog list, or a PAX Clearing,Inc short list...if you did then you might reconsider such a sweeping, dogmatic statement like "MBT has by a mile, the most..."

being the first does not insure having the best chat room - does not correlate

I have used MBTrading and am impressed with customer service but I have found better and much worse

Being the biggest does not equate with quality unless daytrading firms are a world unto themselves...there is no quantifiable pattern in any industry where biggest is always the best...this does not preclude the biggest being the best, but does not assure that statement...I will not bore you with all the biggest companies that are the worst or the best, or with all the small companies who are the best or the worst...

there are other firms that have a "absolutely wicked" trading desk and do not charge for phone orders and have Instinet terminals and place Instinet orders from 7:30 am - 8pm EST

Other firms will lower their rates to accommodate a "newbie" with smaller share transactions, you might have to negotiate on a personal level

Funk I guess I do object a little to your hyperbole in regards to MBTrading

I think they are a fine firm if not a great one...If I were to recommend a RealTick firm I would only unabashedly recommend three and MBTrading would be one of them

What I am trying to say is there is always the other side of the coin...I don't think there is an objective measuring stick for daytrading firms or software

Funk - your opinion is fine and I respect it...maybe you just express it it such a dogmatic way...like you are writing an ad...which I used to do

I am just expressing my opinion and am not looking for a battle...and will not engage in one under any circumstances...

Take Care and continued good luck...I always look forward to your postings

respectfully,

Cormac :-)
