**Question for Thread**
I am changing my main online broker. I have been with the Webstreet Private Client Group. They are being bought by E-Trade. E-Trade has offered me their Club E-Trade. I checked out their site and it looks pretty good. I'm shopping for a new broker with the following criteria:
1) A web page that shows live streaming watch lists on the same page as the trade execution page.
2) Lightening fast trade executions
3) Direct access to live 1 minute streaming charts.
4) Direct access toll free phone to a broker. I don’t want to wait for access by being put on hold.It is extremely important to me to have quick access when I am away from my computer, the web page is down or a trade is executed poorly.
5) Trade costs. My $14.95 Webstreet trades now seem expensive.
6) All trade accounts linked to the same trade page.
7) Wireless access. I have a Cassiopeia E115 PDA and would like to get going on this option this summer.
8) High MM rates and low margin rates.
9) Banking and checkbook service.
10) Personal service to aide in quick transfer of accounts so I have no “down” time.

Am I asking too much? Any thoughts from experienced traders about brokers to consider or avoid would be very welcome.
TIA
Baton
