Does Datek allow you to trade NYEX stocks? Seems like this is a great deal with the 9.95 fees and the unlimited real-time quotes. How would you compare to Etrade or other larger on-line broker. Comments?

He says whenever he starts trading badly, he goes back to 100 share trades to get back in the groove. I hesitate to go to a system like AB Whatley because I don't know if I can manage the overhead of $1000 a day in commissions. E
