day-trades want roundtrip of $24.65???? Heck I would stay with ZAP then. I pay less there. It seems to me that for the most part I should be able to get very close to, if not below 1/4 point, or $12.50 and still maintain decent reliablity etc.... Thanks for calling. The guy just emailed me again, begging me to call! LOL! An excerpt.... "Call me and I'll answer all your questions- that's what the phone is for. Is system reliability important to you? Ours is stand -alone, stps. recorded on hard drive. Check out the following e-mails." The last part I cannot figure...."check out the following emails." Nothing was attached or anything. Don't know what he meant. Suppose this could go on for days hey? We see....and they wonder why I would prefer to not fill out name address phone number etc..... ------------- EDIT: FWIW, here were my questions: Hi, I am interesting in learning a bit more about your online trading for the S&P 500 emini. Specifically: 1. Is the order entry system browser based or a standalone program? 2. Is the electronic system available for 24 hour trading? 3. Does it connect to TOPS or go direct to Globex2? 4. Do you have a staffed order desk? Is it staffed 24 hours a day? How many are there to answer phones? How many phone lines do you have to the order desk? 5. What is the minimum to open an account and what is the minimum to daytrade 1 ES mini? 6. What are your round turn fees, inclusive of all costs...in other words, if I trade one emini flat, what is the hit to my account?
