shuo, Cyber has a good reputation, though I've never dealt with them. Watley, from my experience, is nowhere near MBT in terms of customer service and helpfulness. RT is a bandwidth hog, tho, so you better come armed with plenty of it.
And anything is better than Schwab. I use them because it's nice to have an office in the same town, but they are useless for rapid trading. When I did a trade with them this morning to close out a position, I got a pop-up message that confirmations might take up to an hour because of problems somewhere in Nasdaq. Didn't have that problem anywhere else today, and I wonder if it wasn't in fact an internal Schwab issue.
In other words, you'll think you died and went to heaven when you start with MBT. |
