maybe consider MBTraders..for $300, you can get the same AND have the ability to trade pre/post hours, direct order execution, someone you can talk to in a very reasonable time frame (customer service is an upmost priority to the owners of MBT), and other benefits. Depending on number of trades, the amount is reduced on a sliding scale to a point where the software and exchange fees are free...I like RT3 software used by MBT although those who have tried both QCHARTS and RT3 seem to favor Qcharts. Unfortunately, they too, have experienced technical problems of recent... Anyway, I have accounts at Datek, MBT, along with traditional brokers..and there are tradeoffs to all... and ditto, always looking for a better mousetrap!
