Tried reaching MB Trading's website, but it doesn't seem to exist any more. Apparently they changed sites. Do you have their new internet address? Tried www.mbtrading.com and got nothing. Anyone help? Are they strictly a SOES house or can they execute anywhere? Their commissions are not that cheap... especially if you're doing 100-200 trades/month. Their tickets (if I remember correctly) were 2000 shares max. for a flat rate... not very good with low priced stocks where you may want to scalp 1/4 to a 1/2 with 10-20,000 shares. The commissions roundtrip would eat up your profit. Using Level II (pay for it yourself) with Ameritrade and limit orders seems to be the only game in town for scalping or even simple day-trading over 2000+ shares at a time. Appreciate your input... or any comments from anyone else. Many thanks, Marty
