Kris:>>>I have been pleased with Watley so far. My system has been interupted on occasion but I was able to reboot it quickly (minute or less).The internet is not complete stable at all times which is probably mostly responsible. Hopefully when they convert to S&P Comstock datafeed these few interuptions will be eliminated. Otherwise it perfect. Their only problem now is those nasty datafeed costs(100 - 350/mth). MB Trading and others are picking them up and I'd like to see them do the same(for active traders who trade 100+ tickets per month). Web Street/Discover?? not for Day Traders. Good for position traders I guess...

There are two camps on Online trading firms: 1) are the firms like Discovery, Fidelity, Schwab that take your order, give you tons of research , schmooz you and then trade against your order making markets...consider them the full-service brokerage firms. 2) firms like ABWatley, MBTrading etc. that give you direct access to execution systems, dont make market, etc. and are more for active traders. So, forget Barons, they are talking to the average investor. If you are trying to trade for aliving, you are not an average investor. PS. Our firm falls inbetween the two, with bias to EACH side.
