Sapper. The only reason I am critical of SW, at the moment, is that RT does not translate into RT charting (by minute), or analytical charting. Successful daytraders need this kind of data. Secondly, if you are a "lower level subscriber" on SW you end up paying .40c to read an article they clipped for "free" from the Financial Post and the Globe. Thirdly, for those who do hours of research everyday to execute daytrades, they should be given an option whether they wish to read "Newspaper additions" in the bulletins area. By the end of the day they end up producing 200K worth of bulletins that contain 150K of newspaper inserts. With most services, what you get is bulletins from the company + bulletins from the analyst/brokerages, the rest is clutter in most cases. Ultimately they have trouble catering to everybody, and I realize that. I have requested to have the newspaper bulletins "optional" for those that wish them and those that don't. You said: I was just saying that market depth by broker ID is not available for the VSE because the VSE has restricted that data to member brokers only. This was at the REQUEST of the member brokers. In pursuit of trying to have the VSE appear more "senior like" this should never been allowed by the exchange. There are many instances of debateable brokerage practices when buying and selling! I see this as a limitation the VSE has agreed to, to ensure they will never rise to the openness of senior boards like the TSE.They appear to think because they have purchase a seat on the VSE, that there is no need for "outsiders" to be able to see their trading other than in "hindsight". This smacks of the "conspiracy belief" from other traders, that I must admit I subscribe to!! the Chief
