Rec'd this email from ABW today (perhaps it will help those of you experiencing problems)...

Dear UltimateTrader Client,

In order to serve you better, we have expanded our menu of options you
hear while holding for one of our associates. The new options allow you
to check ?System Status Messages.? If you are experiencing problems with
UltimateTrader and want to know if we are having systemic problems, then
you can use this new option to check the status of our system.

The system status messages are recorded 3 times daily at approximately
9:00am EST, 12:30pm EST and 3:30pm EST. This new feature will be
especially helpful if we are experiencing problems. We will immediately
record a system status message to inform you of the current situation
and attempt to give you as much information as possible. The System
Status Message will be updated as new developments occur.

In order to access the System Status Message, press 1 when you are at
the initial touch-tone menu prompt.

Another reason behind our implementing this new feature is to expedite
trading related calls. We all understand the importance of being able to
place trades, especially during periods of system emergencies. Trading
related calls are always a priority and this is especially true during
system emergencies when we will make an extra effort to ensure that
trading calls take priority over other types of inquiries. However, we
find that many people will choose the trading option for non-trading
related inquiries such as questions regarding system status.

The touch tone menu currently has a choice for ?Trading? and ?Other
Inquiries,? as well as the ?System Status Message? feature. Please do
not choose the ?Trading? queue, if you are calling for information about
your account or our system. At the market open or close, we will also
try to ensure that trading calls receive priority. If you choose the
trading queue and are not calling to place a trade, you will be
transferred back to the ?Other Inquiries? queue in order to expedite the
trading calls during periods of heavy call volume.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email us
(accounts@abwatley.com) or call A.B. Watley Client Services at
888-733-9000.

Sincerely,

A.B. Watley Client Services

Thinking of switching from Datek to Wately or someone else. Anyone care to give me some input? How are orders routed thru Watley- do they use an ECN or do they have a MM that represents them? Also, how is availability of stocks to short? Can you find this out online or do you need to call in and ask?

THanks much
