Ouch. Just checked the Watley thread. I am definitely diving off the frying pan (Datek)-- but not into the fire. I use PC Quote for Level II, about $300 per month--do not need Watley's version. They seem to be as unreliable as Datek. Still looking for other options. Thanks for the warning --I will look into the others you mentioned. I have an account at DLJ Direct-- don't use it that often-- executions slow, cancellations a problem. I have 2 accounts at Schwab mostly for options-- they are slow as well, I use them rarely for trading. As you know, Datek does not have stops on NYSE stocks and no options. I am looking for that mythical broker who can provide fast executions NYSE stops and options. I have 3 accounts with Datek looking for a home.
