I will certainly keep that in mind , and will let you know if I go with PC Quotes. Thanks for the offer on the break for the first month also. It sounds like PC Quotes isn't the most wonderful service in the world and does have some limitations. I got to say that I do really like Canada StockWatch's live ticker and java charts a great deal. Especially the way you can easily spread a chart over a number of days and at different time intervals. But I really get thrown off my day when all of a sudden , there isn't any intraday chart available for any ASE stocks for the first hour or so , yet the charts work fine for the TSE and VSE. Also the ticker and market depth at times don't match and you sit there scratching your head trying to figure out which is correct. I never bother to contact StockWatch about these problems for I'm not a fast typist and rather be able to talk to someone on a phone while discussing a problem. A method that they don't seem to be interested in using.

So what I'll have to decide , is what service I'll go with and live with their limitations. I can't stand a lot of clutter or anything too complicated , so I'll probably go with one or the other.But it does sound as though Schwab is certainly the best choice for a broker, as Kevin Hamlin has been telling me for a while. One brokerage owned by a Canadian bank, had a employee the other day , tell me they aren't interested in daytraders accounts and actually don't make any money on those kind of trades. Right, like the banks do anything that doesn't make money ! And they charge a hell of a lot higher rate then Schwab does.

Anyways thanks again , and sorry for rambling on.I made this a post rather than a PM , so others could see why my interest in PC Quotes. My trading system has been completed and working for a month on a trial basis , but now I need the tools to do trades as quickly as possible.

Best Regards
