<<Datek is simple (not alot of bells and whistles, which I prefer) and quick. Also, if
your order isn't executed within one minute, the trade is free.>>

Datek really sucks. It's been called "Daphuck". They claim fast executions, but they lie through their teeth. The claim for free trades if taken more than 1 minute to execute? Well you need to knows this little matter of fact which they do NOT disclose in print.

EVEN IF THEY FILL ONE SHARE of your order, you do NOT qualify for a free trade, even if they take an hour to fill the rest of your shares.

So say you try to sell 1000 shares of ASND. If they fill 1 share in under one minute,the rest 999 can take forever to fill and you'd still pay the commission. It's marketing bullcrap again.

I was with Etrade for over a year and finally had enough. Then moved to Daphuck.. It's not much better than Etrade.. they're all about the same.. Some have good experience with them, so have horrible experience with them. The more you trade, the more problems you find with these discount brokerages..
