Funk, Regarding your post to bede, how can you make those statements? On what information or experience do you base your remarks? Do you have specific facts to support any of your extremely broad, undocumented claims? (1) MBT provides more order routes than cyber, so there is a difference there. Do you really know exactly how many order routes each firm offers at present? (2) MBT has many more clients and therefore much more depth as far as equipment, servers phone lines etc. Do you really know how many clients each firm presently has, and how would that translate into one firm having more equipment than the other? Do you know how many servers, T-1 lines, etc that each firm actually has? And, one might reasonably suggest that a firm with too many clients might have problems with congestion, support, etc. Do you like crowded restaurants, or small, cozy ones? (3) MBT has way better customer support. Based on what? (4) MBT provides exactly the tools you need to make loot. And you know for a fact that CyberTrader doesn't? How familiar are you with the tools provided by CyberTrader? (5) The fact that the head of marketing from Cybertrader keeps advertising on this thread sort of proves it. Advertising? Whatever, but how does that prove MBT is "clearly the better of the two"? Seems like you're stretching it a bit to me. Most of your remarks were rather vague, broad, and appear more like irrelevant, unsupported (and unverifiable) opinions rather than objective statements. You use words like "smoke and fluff, cyber" but you probably should have compared specific features and benefits and let the reader form his own opinion. A more objective comparison would have been more credible. In respect to everyone here, I submit the above message not to instigate a controversy, but merely to respond to some rather bold and slightly inaccurate statements. My sincere apology in advance if anyone is offended. There are many good people here, many of whom have graciously helped me, and I regret taking this space and ask for your indulgence this one last time, hopefully. <g> Good trading, All.
