I have been using Fidelity web site day trading for a few weeks now. From my experience, it's a real piece of shit! It is clear from the design of their system, they don't understand the daytrading business. 1) After you made a number of trades, it takes forever to update the orders page. As a result, it becomes impossible to find out whether the trade has gone thru in a timely fashon. 2) When my market orders don't get executed in 5 minutes, I called in to ask what's going on. The reps say it's normal. I often ended up cancelling my market orders from the web. At least Datek gives me a free trade if it takes long than a minute. 3) It's just totally ridiculous that the web site logs you out after 30 or so minutes.
