Is this faster than the FOX software?

David,

Interesting. I gave up trying to load FOX months and months ago after I could not get it in sync with my past trade history (which I now keep track of on Quicken).

But, if FOX executes in seconds, then I guess I could load it without trying to use it to track trading history (or only for trades going forward) (But see below concern).

For sure, the Fidelity WebExpress function is no good. It takes too long to specify the trade, requires a confirm (2 button pushes), and takes too long to report whether a trade has been filled (this might be a problem with FOX too). Beyond that, the darn thing times out just when you want to do a killer trade.

But hey, if there were anyway Fido could give me full MBT type functions (I've got the Signal Online datafeed), I'd be happy.
