There ain't no way you're ever gonna get Level II out of Datek without paying the "other guys" 50 bucks. This is an exchange fee which Datek has to pay if, and when, they feed you Level II. You can get Level II 'Free' from other vendors if you trade enough, meaning they discount your trades by the amount of the exchange fees. This is reasonable, IMO. They're not in business for their health. This assumes the best possible results from Datek, which I'm neither ready to assume nor unassume. I remain unequivocally ambivalent. Every time I decide to get the heck out, I decide I'm being rash. Talk about your basic internet love-hate relationship ... <VBG> Regards
