Hi Rashid, I use Preferred Trade, and am very happy with them...I basically just trade options with them, but their executions are fast...fills are usually within seconds after hitting the send (although three times I had problems, might of been the options I was trading on YHOO earlier this week & last week)...plus get to chose which exchange to go to (helps reduce the spread). You can also trade equities with them, although I haven't tried it yet, but I think they allow stops on listed stocks. I believe you can also trade equities premarket and choose how it should be routed, to a certain extent. If their executions are fast with options, I would imagine that it would be just as fast with equities, since equities is more liquid, but I haven't tried. Most importantly, I received a check for some $$$ 2 days after requesting it : ) They only give you the basic program you load & use on your computer, non-browser based...no charts nor level II...also sometimes their quotes are inaccurate, but I use E-signal for that stuff. Best of Luck, Where'd He Go?

Rashid, you ain't kidding about NITE being stealthy with their trades...when I sold 1000 CSRE today the trade never printed. I sold it when the bid was 5 15/32 x 5 1/2 : 1x40...I put in the limit order at 5 3/8 as there was 40 showing at that level and I did not want to risk not getting filled at 5 15/32. I was filled immediately at 5 15/32 for a nice price improvement...but the trade NEVER showed up...not even late! I called Jeff Crystal at eSignal to ask him if they were having problems with time and sales and he said no and asked why. When I told him what I saw he told me that he has heard that when eDrefus passes a trade through to NITE, sometimes NITE has it on the books and they have been known to not send the trade to Nasdaq. That will then keep others from seeing everything that is happening. That is why I have seen volume change on stocks when I did not see a print. Oh the games that can be played! But when we learn to play the game with the rule writers we can make a nice living. Cheers!
