Tim: I have just started using A.B.Watley, and am very satisfied. When I had my Level II set-up earlier (Iam still waiting for phone lines) I used PCquote 6.0 and traded with E.Schwab directly. I used 3 computers: 1 strictly for Level II; 1 hooked up via local access to Schwab; and, 1 I kept on AOL, as I like to monitor their Shark Tanks. I would suggest using a real time news service, intra day activity moves very fast and any edge that you can get, take. I have also found time and sale to be valuable; but do what you can afford for now. PCquote has a Level A service that includes Board Views, Tickers, Quick Quotes, Custom Alarms, News Alerts, Fundamentals, Regionals and Excel Support for $75 a month. When you get into Level II, you get up to about $250 a month. A.B.Watley, I'm told, has a very good Traders program with Level II, which I'll try once I get phone lines. Irby should be able to tell you more about Watley, as I think that's who he is using.
