Non-Tech : Datek Brokerage $9.95 a trade -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Dirk, well, they do have the other order routing options, as you are well aware. I guess the only way they could beat Datek for ISLD fills would be if they get the orders there more quickly, and reliably. We both know Datek has occasional problems with slow processing of orders (although I haven't seen it lately, at all). CT likely never has this problem. Also, the time spent actually entering the order is likely faster on CT (no first hand knowledge of this). And lastly, CT supposedly has visibility to the ISLD limit book (likely much faster than the free thing on the internet; this would be very valuable, if its very realtime). But I would also like to hear PRB respond. Gary
