Be very careful esp. in OTC stocks, always set limits, reports back could be very slow, errors hard to correct as they will not stand up for you against MMs on bad fills unless it is a real rape job. And if you do use them keep detailed records yourself of time, etc. I still use them, but will likely change one of these days. So, I would look for someone else.

OT Chuck, I am very happy with them, although I use them only for my investment accounts, not daytrading, which I do at a local brokerage. Their execution is superb (I've never been screwed with market orders (which I can see on a Level II). They have dirt cheap commissions and margin rates lower than anyones. Jay

Chuck I use B&Co. For about 1 1/2 yrs. Done a lot of day trades. Fast execution. Never any problems with orders other than mentioned below. Orders always confirmed. Sometimes there were some typo errors that are corrected. Biggest problem I ever had was when they were changing over to a new Computer Execution Program back last Oct. I believe. I could not buy or sell. Could not log on. Had to fax orders and got immediate phone replys. This was a problem when I had been doing as many as 5 - 12 trades a day. The second time I had a problem was many months ago when some telephone equipment exploded in their Boston office and the building was evacuated by the fire dept. All equipment was down for hours. I was ticked and thought they were having more problems with their new program. Called the NASD in Boston they investigated and told me what he problem was. During the last 10 months virtually no problem, but at present I am not trading as much as I was. Good luck. If you want any more info send me a private message.
