hi,
I just found this thread, having received and installed Velocity just now.
It looks just like streetsmart for the web.
and it looks like a pig since it uses the marimba kernel to do its work. on NT, its footprint is a whopping 20MB!

and it even comes w/ a periodic timeout, requiring re-entering ones pwd every so often... typical schwab application (yuck!).

but it beats having to sludge thru their klunky website to do trades. Velocity is much faster for dialup users like me.

I did notice that Velocity does not (yet?) include the 'advanced' option trading (spread orders in particular).
too bad.
