I am minutes away from signing up with NAQ but am a little hessitant. Any comments or other services recommended. I am looking to actively trade but if there is a delay, NO WAY. Spike

No, Paul, you know very well what I mean: RT Trader was lagged 1 to 3 minutes for the first 1 1/2 hours. It has been this way for weeks. Anybody who has two quote providers can easily confirm this. I can accept occasional problems--all quote providers have them from time to time. What concerns me here is the NAQ management's decision that the service they provide is okay for the money and therefore no improvement is necessary.

Paul..I posted this same problem yesterday, post#1032 DELL, for example, comparing RTtrader to Interquote and my broker's snap quotes.....for 2 days (in the same time frame that SRS is talking about 1 1/2 hrs after open) traded between 200k and 500k behind the other 2 realtime systems with the comparable lag in price.....you cannot trade with this kind of lag. But your clock on the program is in sync with realtime!! There is a problem here that should not be answered away with the standard "its on your end"
