Peter Stern doesn't have the balls to respond to any of these posts.

It's pretty sad when my ameritrade account is getting better fills than my datek. - that's pathetic.

If you're a frequent daytrader, use mb trading, Etrade, etc. Datek's order routing system just isn't up to par to those other ones. Claiming Datek is the fastest is a joke Peter.

Whenever I call Datek about their system, they think I'm a newbie. Whenever I start drilling them about their system, they realize it's slow. Datek makes money on order flow, therefore gets the lousiest fills. Don't bother trading GCTY with Datek.

I use Datek strictly for shorts now unless my funds are tied up. Don't mean to gripe but I just want to warn future investors to use a system with arca or Real Tick III.

Those that are satisfied with Datek trade about once a year.

Ciao

p.s. Rene, how's that MB trading going?
