Here's another voice against the new interface. The old interface is nice and simple and fast and compact. Rather than waste time on the new interface, here are some improvements I would make to the old interface are:

1. Remove the links above the order entry fields on the quotes/order page. These links just get in the way when you tab to the next field - they slow you down.
2. Add links from the symbols in the quotes and portfolio pages to an order screen with symbol and quantity (from the portfolio page) already filled in. This speeds up entering of orders. E*Trade does this and I like it. It could be even better if there were separate buy and sell links. Datek appeals to daytraders and we need ease of use and speed!
3. Include the open price in the quotes.
4. Allow more symbols to be entered on the quotes page.
5. Be able to add to the symbols instead of having to retype all the symbols.
6. Be able to keep more than one set of quote symbols.

The reason I like the old interface is because it's simple and fast. Please keep it that way!
