Why would you want to continue trading with a broker and software that you admit is "cumbersome, slow, and executions are unpredictable?"

Because I still work full-time and am not prepared to trade for a living. I'd love CT if they'd offer the service at affordable prices for occasional use. Dreyfus offers low commissions and reasonable performance considering I'm NOT using a direct-entry, ECN enabled package. The comments above were in comparison to a CT or RT3, not as absolutes.

Actually, I've gotten pretty good at having entry screens filled out and ready to go when I see the T&S in a favorable state. There is nothing like hitting the inside market and knowing your order is there instantly, however.

Commissions and fees are critical to the bottom line provided executions are good.
