Richard,

I had the same unpleasant experience today :-(

Velocity is ok, but it has a ways to go before I'll call it *good*. There are little things missing. For example, there's not logout button; you have to kill the window to log out. Entering trades is marginally easier and you can put in a number of them at a time. I find it convenient to be able to use the web interface for real-time research while using Velocity for trading and real-time updates of positions.

Now that Schwab bought out one of the old-time private banking houses, I'd expect them to offer more services to the upper tiers of their clientele. You're almost certainly among them :-)

Thanks, Torben

P.S. What I *really* want is quick execution and a system to give me real-time Level II quotes. And the two need to be tied together. I'd also like to be able to trade the overseas markets transparently. And let's not forget 24-hour trading :-)
