Jim,

I have used CyBerTrader for over a year and unfortunately I, too, have had consistent connection problems similar to those expressed by others here.

I have an ISDN connection, extremely fast computer setup, and experience no other problems connecting to any internet sites. However, most days I have disconnects several times per day, often while in trades, sometimes crashing my computer altogether. Because of that, I very very rarely do quick in-and-out daytrades anymore. I can't afford to until such time as reliability is established.

I do not know where the problem lies, but under the present circumstances, daytrading from my computer is far too risky these days. Frankly, I'm beginning to believe that we may simply be asking too much from our technology. In order to do what we do, a lot of things have to happen perfectly on a constant basis. My trading now is restricted to holding positions for days, weeks, months, but definitely not minutes.

Bill
