I am not impressed, especially after seeing these latest posts. I agree that Fidelity is not interested in catering to daytraders. I will continue to daytrade at CyBerTrader and use Fidelity for the IRA's and medium term trades only.

Yes, I agree Fidelity does not want short term trading, but why not? If they could put a viable product together people would be lined up. But again the horrible fills experienced lately makes all the software in the world a moot point. 7 minute fills is a joke, unfortunately it was at my expense. I even asked two people in electronic trading about the active trader platform. The only information I could get was, "oh it's great". And as far as when it will come out don't hold your breath. They had no general idea when it might be rolled out. Fidelity was only a stop over while I combined some accounts. After yesterday I am gone. The forms went out today. I have $500,000 there as well as $500,000 of family money I look after. Told then they needed to make me whole on this trade and reverse it or I'm gone. As expected, I recieved no reply from a Stephanie Houle who fielded my call when I asked to speak with someone in charge of trading. She was to call me back yesterday....
