Dick, I feel like I could have written your post. Revamped FOX killed my data too; WebExpress is anything but (don't even TRY to use it to catch a limit trade, I mean, just don't); MBT with RealTickIII seems to be the industry standard for sure; yep, like the bennie of free realtime datafeed; etc. etc. In the meantime, I'd recommend you try to do some realtime trading with the Fidelity Spartan people (if that is your group). If you can find a cooperative team member, they will stay on the phone for you for 15-20 minutes, they will execute for you on the fly (without reading back the damn order) and I've found that they will often wipe off the entire commission on in/out trades that didn't work. This is not an alternative to MBT, but a helpful interim measure. Best, Gary Korn
