Evening John What exactly was MB negligent in doing? what was the registration that they had to do? That was one of my questions that I had for Cybertrader that I am looking into. They told me that I just had to fill out the form8----? which would comply with regulations required for Canadians to hold US accounts. It sounds like they have to have more than that in place though. I don't think they have many Canadian accounts, so I would like to make sure they have everything in place so I don't have to go through what you had to. Best Regards WB

Thanks again John I have heard a lot of people say that Real Tick is one of the best day trading programs out there. I have seen several screen shots of the program and it looks very handy. As far as I know the only program for Canadians stocks similar to Real Tick is the program offered by PCquotes. However the price tag of around $500/month after exchange fees is ridiculous. The hook up between Priority Brokerage and pcquotes is interesting. Trading is built right into the PCquote program. However Priority Brokerage is expensive for day trading. Buying 1000 shares of ABX would cost me $100 with Priority compared to $30-45 with most other Canadian discount brokers. pcquote.on.ca If it is true that Canadian may be able to trade with U.S brokers - sign me up. Fees are half the price of Canadian Brokers and they offer far more services. I read MB traders page - sound interesting. I like the idea of a free trading program if enough trades are made.
