irby- I'm currently using ATFI, and they are a data feed service. They recommend, and I use, Preferred Technology for trading. ATFI has been good so far, I'm on their trial period now, and have the full compliment of services, level 2, time of sales, RT news, etc. They use Global Ticker by Telesphere, not real Tick III, if that means anything to you. I'll give more info on the service if anyone requests. BTW, this is my favorite site on the net for stock info, to the point, not much B.S., Thanks! Tim

irby; quick question on day trading. From a strict point of view, a day trader closes out his positions at the end of the day. This guards against gap downs based on after the bell news. But suppose you you entered a trade that exploded to the upside. Chances are the stock will gap up the next morning. Let's say your stock pick had all the markings of a winner: broke the 50 day ma, had a wide ranging day, hit a new two month high, had good news, etc, etc, etc. Wouldn't you hold that position overnight? Or sell half, hold half. It seems that the close out rule is a bit severe and can limit gains. What do you think? Harry
