I am currently using CyberT and most of the good things people say about Cybercorp are true. Specifically responding to the previous post - there is no fee for the data and no minimum trades. Obviously, the good people at Cybercorp are not in the business of providing free data, so people should use their judgment and minimal math skills and figure out if they are the right sort of traders for Cyberbroker. For people who do not trade alot, Cybercorp should charge for the data, because I am sure there is a market for less aggressive traders who would benefit from the Cybercorp trading software. The one big issue I have with the software is the efficiency/workability of the so-called smart keys. I would be interested in comments from others who have either encountered difficulties or who have had only good experiences and could possibly explain what I am not getting. In my experience they seem to not get the job done way too frequently. This is the one place where Cybercorp has not satisfactorily dealt with my questions. I have taken to using the Island and that works beautifully. As to the nonsense on this thread. Yes, the spammers are jerks. Lets ignore them and leave the hall monitor mentality back in grammar school where it belongs. I think and hope the morons will whither if paid no heed. Ilyse

Luk, You are terribly wrong in almost everything you say about CyBerTrader. Do you use the product yourself, or are you just getting bad information from someone else? The data feed is free with CyBerTrader. Don't be misled by anyone. And, unlike with MB Trading, there is no extra commission charged for orders exceeding 2,000 shares. On a 5,000 share order CyBerTrader will save you a LOT of money. It's true. If you got your bad info from a trader at Block Trading, well, what more need I say? Block uses the much older version of CyBerTrader, for one thing. So that person isn't knowledgeable about the advanced features of the newer version being used by current remote traders of CyBer Corp. You say the charts are bad. You're wrong. The charts are great. Not a problem. If you haven't heard about any problems with M.B. Trading then you must not be looking in the right places. I could point you to many discussions of their problems, especially yesterday with most of the traders who had short positions and who were called and told to close them out now because M.B. could not borrow the stock and, therefore, the traders were being punished. Cost some of them big money yesterday. Check it out for yourself. Shorting with a company like M.B. can be very dangerous to your portfolio (cash balance). CyBerTrader has many unique features, since you asked. If you read all the previous messages posted on this thread you would know what they are. If you were truly interested in CyBerTrader, you'd just call the company and ask them to tell you about it. Hope this answers your questions. Please stop spreading mis-information. WD
