dpl, DELL volume was hard enough to deal with the last few weeks. With the split today, the problem is doubled. Over 32M shares traded already. I turned it off so the rest of my quotes had a chance. Alan

MBTrading works a little differently. You have a window with your data (actually several windows . . . ) and you have a window with your positions. When you click the mouse to execute a trade, as soon as the trade executes your position window is updated. Very sweet.

I am at the point of signing up with MB Trading. I like their pricing policies better than Cybertrader. However, after reading posts on this SI group and on Ctrader's, I'm not completely sure of my choice. I'm reading here and there that Ctrader fills are better than MBT's. And this and that software aspect may be better as well at Ctrader. I don't want to be pound foolish about this choice. Is there any sort of consensus of the functioning of each system -- on a high volume day, for example? Are you getting fills in seconds or minutes? And are the setup differences just a matter of taste, or is one pretty much conceded to be superior?
