I've been using it for nearly 3 years. It's a great system. The spreads on individual stocks can be large at times (20c - 60c) so I only use it for index bets and occasionally oil price.

The spread on NDX futures is 4 pts. That is equivalent to about 10c on QQQ. Not bad considering there is no commission on top, it is tax free, and you can have your stop loss protecting you all night.
