Dan, my compliments to you also on the first name. Regarding Castle, I haven't tried them yet. I'm using CyberX now and like it a lot. Here is some feedback that I provided privately to two others about CyberX + QCharts. Regards, Dan. --------- - Executions are fast - many in the 2-5 second range - Cancellations are extremely fast - about 1-2 seconds generally. - User interface is clear and easy to use, but uses a little too much space. - Integration with QCharts is pretty good, but needs more work. Also, notice the price under the BID/ASK buttons? It's real-time. Keeps moving until you lock it. Also you can modify it with the up/down arrows or with the wheel on your mouse (assuming you have one). Finally, notice the "Short" button? When you move the cursor over the Short button, is displays the number of shares that are available to short for that stock. If none available, it says, "No Shortable Shares". Or, it might say, "5000 shares available". Quick and foolproof. You have to get a d**n quote from Datek (which takes and extra 10-15 seconds) to determine if a stock is shortable.
