Yes, I have accounts at both Etrade and Datek. I prefer Datek, but keep the Etrade account for all the things Datek doesn't do, such as options, checking, and now access to IPOs. Datek is faster for order entry, execution and confirmation.

I'm moving my active trading to Dreyfus. I have posted here in the past about them, so I won't repeat. Not perfect, but they answer the phone. There is a thread (don't have immediate ref but it's Dreyfus). I trade a lot of options, so this is my primary reason for Dreyfus over others. Please check back over the last several days for other comments -- hasn't been longer than a week or two. I'm NOT extolling their praises, esp. on order flow (not negative, just can't find definite positive data), but I have had inside bids hit on both equities and options, and as I posted earlier, have been made whole on trades which weren't exercised but should have been based on bid/ask. Others have complained. BUT the lack of thread activity indicates to me that complaints aren't rampant. MUCH different from here. No checking. Do offer AON. NOT a recco; just info. Spots
