OT - Julius, I have been with Quote.com Qcharts for a couple years. From what I understand from talking with others they pretty much hands down have the slickest user interface and charting capabilities around but the data feed has been a sore spot with users for the majority of that time. It got even worse when they sold to Lycos but it seems they are finally getting a handle on it. I think its the cheapest of the bunch, but you definitely have to understand the data feed problems that still pop up to use it effectively. It still quite often falls behind in the mornings and you have to change servers (about a 10-15 second deal) to catch it up. And sometimes near the end of the day charts and option chains do not come up. Options data is not always accurate as strikes or leaps are sometimes missing and sometimes they won't even acknowledge options exist for some symbols at which point you have to write them and they do something on their end to correct it. Further, they used to have a problem where some options trades were not sent through as the data feed was overloaded and options took a lower priority. If you have a little patience I think they may still resolve these other issues because as I said, the data feed has been getting better, but if you don't want to have to mess with it I would definitely recommend checking some of the higher priced services. Ask the folks on the Quote.Com thread how satisified they are and see what comes back at ya. There was a time when you would have received one flaming response after another...seems to have quieted down recently.
