Lee, thanks for your info. Sounds like a great arrangement -- and an idea that I'll certainly look into. I have only two concerns...
One is that "QCharts" doesn't offer any kind of "trial" period OR even provide an on-line "demo" that gives a real-good "feel" for the layout (there ARE a few screen-shots provided, but they're not nearly as clear or extensive as I'd like) -- and just on principle, I hate the idea of subscribing "sight unseen" (in case it turns out their layouts cause me visual problems, too). For instance, can you actually verify first-hand that it's possible to customize a "Quote Sheet" so all the columns are in a light-on-dark color pattern (that is, a black or dark-blue background with light-colored symbols and quotes)? If you CAN, that'd be a big factor in my mind -- and if it's NOT possible, I'd know not to pursue it further...
The other consideration, of course, is the COST of signing-up for two separate programs. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume you must be paying at least $90/month for the QChart service (the $80 basic monthly subscription, plus "exchange fees") plus ANOTHER $130-$160/month for "A-T Attitude" (the minimum "Minor Attitude" monthly cost, plus the $50 Nasdaq Level-2 fee) -- so a total of perhaps up to $250/month for the combination. Is that about right (if you don't mind me asking)?
Now, that certainly IS less than the $300/month for A-T's "Major Attitude" program (the one that offers the customizable monitor-pages) -- but still a bit more than some other programs that include most key elements (if I could find one that met my visual-needs). Even so, it's an idea I hadn't considered before -- and I WILL give it some thought now. So thanks again for the suggestion...
Take Care,
