I ended up going with MB Trading, just got on line yesterday. Had used AT Financial for the trial period and loved it, MB uses Real Tick III which doesn't have a few of the goodies that I got used to with AT. Unfortunately AT's brokerage seems to be relatively unknown around here, so I'm going to try to struggle with the RT III. If I do 50 trades a month the feed is free, I might pay for the AT information and trade with MB (don't know if there would be a compatibility problem with both feeds). As far as the question of higher margin, MB is only 2 to 1 like most others. I believe to get the higher margin you have to "join" a group and they can have special margin arrangements. I'd prefer to not use any margin, personally. 10 to one is scary.
