i agree Perez, on the express version of the site for very active traders.
we are going to get that very soon, trust me!
haven't you heard ETrade is preparing the launch of a much better site?
i am an active trader myself and find the site slow sometimes, and it's annoying when "Our system has detected..." etc, specially when you're making a risky bet on an fast-moving IPO on its opening debut... ha ha
however, you have to understand this is an evolving technology, and of all the online brokers, ETrade is the best.
this technology is evolving on the go, and changes sometimes have to be madde during market hours, it's like changing a tyre while going at 100 mph.
besides, if you're a trader, where else would you get a Bridge terminal (ThePulse) for free? Schwab customers don't get that! the Schwab site is terribly slow.
as for Datek, yeah, commissions are cheap, but EVERYTHING is cheap there, i wouldn't send my funds there not if they pay me, i wouldn't sleep at night. |
