<Can I ask who you trade with?> Duhhhhhh. I posted my post to a couple other threads and thought I was on one of those. Please ignore this stupid question. I love Streamer and love the Datek commission structure but hate the way they execute market trades, especially at the open....

Robert: The Kelster has given you some excellent pointers. When referring you to SF Drakes postings a few months back I mentioned limit orders a little under mkt. Tradecast & Tradescape are direct entry systems that are in the process of growing with investments from the Bass brothers and Softbank, but probably do not have the capitalization that you would feel safe with. Divide and conquer, so many ecn's and marker makers, over 300. If the market makers were really interested in excellent customer service, the technology is already there. An ex director of the SEC. was hired by Schwab? The real danger the market makers can pose to you is taking your focus away from your successful investing! Kelsters pointers are great, Have noticed that datek does not offer adjustments without request even after evidence of justification is presented. However the positives outweigh the negatives in comparison to others imo
