Brown and Company. Pros: $5 market orders. Market leading margin debt rates. They're professional. They have never screwed up badly or for a long period of time. Cons: Their website has always been mediocre. They are out of Boston so a thick skin is required in dealing with them. You wrote: >>> Where do fellow value investors trade ?

This looks great. Do you use Level II quotes or their Jet + trading system? For the board:: Are Level II quotes worth it? Is it worth it to have direct access to ECNs? Are there advantages to off hours trading, i.e. inefficiencies that can be exploited? Have any of you checked out FolioFN? Appreciate your responses. PS: I currently use USAA brokerage.

Brown is very very good. Trades are executed and confirmed in a few seconds. When I call on the phone, they answer. Monthly statements are the best I've seen. sonic.net

rjm, you may want to try QuoteTracker (http://www.quotetracker.com) with both RJT and DATEK. QuoteTracker connects to both of them for Level I and Level II quotes and lets you track up to 80 symbols at a time instead of their limit of 20 and 24. Gives you streaming RT charts with tech indicators too. More importantly, QuoteTracker has integrated trading for both RJT and DATEK, so if you think trading with them is fast now, you will be in for a pleasant surprise with QuoteTracker - makes it drastically faster and easier. I feel that DATEK and RJT are by far the best OLBs for active investors that do not need a lot of hand holding. As for RJT being bought by Waterhouse, RJT will continue to operate as an independent unit, so the buyout should not affect RJT clients. Jerry Medved 2GK, Inc. quotetracker.com
