Rak, Sorry all "Internet Trading sites" with all the exchanges are expensive. I assume when you say "trading sites" you mean to be able to online trade! I am investigating a number of trading tools while here in the US. All of them are very expensive!!!!!! Realtime,market depth with great graphing and ability to trade is literally impossible to find. You either get one, two but never three or all four. I have looked at systems for $400 per month and they can be literally duplicated by combining some free access facilities + a $25.00 fee. For instance "tradestation" has good graphing (Jimsy uses it) but has no facility for market depth or trading. DBC online, and most others, in the states has realtime, realtime graphing, but does not have market depth, nor does the graphing allow any technical analysis through presentation of stochastics, bollinger bands, relative strength, etc. etc. etc. I presently use 2 telephone lines, 2 computers. One computer is hooked to Stockwatch and the internet, the other hooked to my trading facility. It works poorly, but works better than one computer. Out of the two Canuck facilities that I have dealt with Canstock and Stockwatch I have irritants from both. Stockwatch provides RT quotes and market depth but there "bulletin presentation" is terrible. There is no technical analysis to their charting. They also donot have instantaneous "market movers". Canstock on the other hand has a great bulletin presentation, has no technical charting and no market depth!! Anyway the bottom line is any combination of the above costs $$$$. trying to find the best bang for the buck is most important for me, right now!!! There is an SI thread for "Daytrading tools" but its not be used very much, its atMessage 1257647 If this doesn't answer all your questions "rak" just send me a private message and I'll try to help you.
