Bill,

How is your research going? I too have narrowed my options to MB or Cybertrader. However, I'm blown away by the low commissions at Livetrade, plus 0% on margins closed by end of trading. Sounds too good to be true!? What have you found out about them? I know their software is TAL Real Tick like MB Trading.

Some guy on the phone at Livetrade told me they offered something special because they connected through the internet. Did I miss something. Doesn't everybody else do the same thing. Sounds like another broker who was asked to answer the phone but doesn't know squat about their products.

I'm undecided between MB and Cybertrader. Cybertrader seems to have a better plan for the future with enhancements, connectivity issues, etc. But, right now MB probably is a more powerful package because of better charts and news feeds, if those things are important. And this may sound stupid, but I like the green and red arrows better on MB software for easier viewing and deciphering of data. But, my gut feeling, based on better answers when calling their office, is moving towards Cybertrader.

Which way are you leaning and why?

Brent
