ALSKI, I didn't think we were slamming Fidelity. I have been a customer for 20 yrs. and have actively traded for the past 3. My opinion is only that FOX is much quicker and easier to use, especially at the pace required to daytrade effectively than Fidelity's website, and particularly Powerstreet. An example....after reading your post, I took your advice and logged onto Powerstreet. It took 1 min. and 30 secs.--just to bring up the webpage with my account and to load all of the applets. And that is just so you can start. To get their streaming quotes...10-20 secs. for each page or "hot list" to load. With FOX it takes 2-4 secs. to log on and 1-2 secs. to bring up quotes. Personally, I use a chart service with streaming quotes so I do not need to get quotes most of the time, but to log on and place an order, you do not have to wait for web pages to "refresh" or "load" with FOX. I must admit, I never got as far as "Multi-Trade" view...guess I lost patience just trying to access the site.
