Sultan,

Unless I read the page wrong, they are testing only the speed of the main web page of the site, and not functional pages within the site. Bound to be a big difference.

My main issue with Action Direct is their incredibly slow execution time. Order entry to execution can take upwards of 15 minutes some days. Occasionally it is very quick, but over the last 20 trades I've done my records show 5 - 10 minutes has been the norm. Once, on a reasonably active but not hyperactive issue, it took over 55 minutes to go from "Open" to "Filled".

Yuk! Talk about slippage or missed opportunities at times.

Are you happy with what you use?
