I like the speed and it is far more readable. On your other points here is my opinion. 1. Make the ticker colomn left justified (I agree) 2. All fractions replace wit 2 (maybe 3) decimal digits after period (Not an issue for me - at least now 64s display not as ? - a real improvement) 3. Move UP/Down colomn next to the change colomn (let all green/red colomns be together) (OK but a minor irritation) 4. Insert new colomn: %change from the previous day's close (I don't need it - it may be nice but the more fluff displayed the more overhead) 5. Correct the change colomn, it does not disply negatives (I'm on orders 3 and its OK for negatives) 6. Change the color of the negative numbers from dark red to light red for the better contrast with light green (May depend on your screen and browser settings - mine are OK as is) 7. Move the colomn volume by two positions to the right to reduce the probability of fields overlapping. If neseccery get rid of last 2 zeros in the volume. (I agree overlaps are a problem in this format if you use small windows) 8. Put back field Marginable / Not (I agree here as well - the present NM is untidy) 9. Put horisontal and vertical lines back, if not much trouble (The lines do help with overlap problems so I will agree on this) 10. And one more colomn if possible: last 12 months p/e (Hey this is a trading page - I only want trading information and I will go elsewhere if I need to do research) Thanks Vladimir for your comments and suggestions. Datek obviously are trying to please everyone, and that is impossible, but I for one appreciate there quick responses to our comments even if there are some who will not be completely satisfied.
