Hi Russ. There's thread on A.B. Watley on SI you might want to check out. Apparently a lot of people looking for alternatives after the popular online brokers failed this past week. Here's a list of seemingly highly regarded ones. Watley includes RT charts on the ultimate trader. Some of the others probably do as well. cybercorp.com mbtrader.com abwatley.com executioner.com rt2trader.com mytrack.com

Watleys ultimate trader is a good choice. It is simple and effective. No charges except for the trade which I think is around $20 a pop. Another choice should be Trade Cast. $300 for l2 feeds. Free data feeds with 50 trades and each ticket is $14 or less for 1000 shares or less. I've used both realtick and Trade Cast. Both will work well IF you have the right back office support. Personally, I prefer Trade Cast.

I just got this email about MB Trading..I don't have them,but have heard only good things about them- Please allow us to make you aware of a service available on the Internet which could help your day trading immensely! This service is MB Trading, Inc. (http://www.mbtrading.com) - a division of Terra Nova Trading, LLC. and they provide an outstanding suite of tools for those wishing to become "professional level II" traders in the market. In fact, we have found they provide one of the best trading tools available on the Internet today and if you will be using our service to effect trades in the stock market (especially if you'll be using our Trading Desk service) then we strongly suggest you consider what they have to offer as a complement to the services provided by Day Traders On-line. MB Trading was formed by institutional brokers as an outlet for day-traders and investors who demand the highest level of service, reliability and speed for their executions. They offer traders a level of sophistication that far surpass the more traditional forms of brokerage or "on-line" trading systems and cater to the those trader that demands instant executions, confirmations, real-time data and the finest trading software available. Their trading system allows institutional and individual traders, as well as investors, to initiate trades to OTC and Listed exchanges, while receiving the entire market picture from your desktop including US equities (listed and OTC), options, and futures. The MB Trader software package they have available allows you to immediately route order via ECN's, TNTO and ISLD (Island). This allows users of their software to join market makers in advertising an order on the Bid, Ask, or in between the spread.

All trades, regardless of the route by which they are executed, are immediately displayed in the position minder and your portfolio is adjusted dynamically. With MB Trading you have the ability to advertise your order via the NASDAQ Level II system as well. This increase in visibility affords the trader a much higher degree of prominence to the market.
