I agree, the BUY / SELL on STOP, and LIMIT orders are nice to have. But the order execution time at Action Direct is terrible (for on-line ordering at least). Totally inadequate for fast-moving markets. While the Action Direct website is minimalist and not very elegant, it is simplistic enough that graphics should not affect performance. I agree here that simple is best, but the website still has a ways to go before I would consider it adequately reliable. Charting, you mean other brokerage services are offering charting capabilities? Geez. Oh well next week several of my friends have invitations to attend Greenline's seminar / presentation / party so I might get to see how Greenline's WebBroker compares.

I still have a small amount of funds in my RBC account after moving most of it ALL-TECH in the states which is an electronic order entry (for NASD). I placed an order for a BB last week and my order was pending for 15 mins AGAIN....just like it used to do. nuthin ever changes around RBC. Like I have suggested before - switch to mytack (mytrade) they are very fast executions. only problem with them is their server tends to go down once in a while...but that is a hardware problem that I am sure is gettin fixed. mytrack.com ciV
