OFF TOPIC: FYI, I'm reposting these two messages that I placed on another thread back in June. I thought some of you might be interested in the subject. If any of you do end up subscribing to one of these, please let me know your thoughts on them.
Good Luck,

To All Interested Parties:
I have a site that provides dynamically live quotes as they happen. You can see every trade, along with the bid/ask. There is a cost though, approximately 35 dollars a month. It's great for those who
like to see the pattern of the ups and downs during the day.
Like any other system, there are times when the system is down. But, when it works, it's a champ. One thing though, you must have Java software to use it.
If interested, let me know.
Ben

To All:
I've been swamped with requests for the dynamically live quote site. I didn't think anyone would really be interested, that's why I did not post it on my message.
First, let me begin by saying that there is another similar site that broke off with this company. The company that I currently use is:
wwquote.com
The second company that broke off and claims
lesser down time is:
bullsession.com
As far as level 2 or level II, I do not know
what this level is or
provides. I do know that I see every trade and
the time of execution
on my screen. You also have a live chart you can
see for three stocks
at any given time; the portfolio is also live.
I've had more problems with the portfolio screen
than with the combination chart and individual
stock screen. I've had problems for order status
from my broker DLJdirect, but if I placed an odd
order like say 7200 or 3400, I will see these
executions before DLjdirect does. This way, I
can be assured that my order has been
executed(It would be harder to tell if you place
a common order like 1000, 5000, 10000, etc.
I believe they do offer a free trial for about
one week. They are
located in Canada and so is Bullsession.
If anyone does apply for wwquote, let me know,
there are some minor
bugs that you can sometimes bypass.
