Thanks for the info, used TradeStation briefly (demo) last year, would own it if they could use the elcheapo DTN satellite feed vs BMI. Haven't looked into SCRT yet. WOW's DayTrader ? Hmmm, maybe, looked like the EOD version. Kinda clunky. Would also like to screen for bid/ask spread. Let me have any equities with 1/2 point spread priced over $20, with 10+ ticks per minute, etc. Re: Options (yo Steve) Owned ORCL JAN30C at $2.00 from the last dip. Thursday they were $3.75 bid, no problem. Yesterday stock drops 6%, options drop to $2.25 or 40%. Looks like the implied volatility went stratospheric. You're right, the spread + commission + slow execution + no L2 equiv bid/ask data, makes daytrading a typical equity option unrealistic. SPiDeRs & DIAmonds ? Don't know. Jay
