I'm moving to MBTRADER. I would stay with DATEK if their service was reasonably consistent and even remotely acceptable as I have used them for quite some time now. Lately the word unacceptable can not even begin to describe DATEK service. As many posters on this board have noted, cost of each trade lately is beginning to add up to many thousands of dollars and the time I most want to get out of a position, is the time I wait and wait and wait wondering what is going on. Successful trading requires a level of concentration with an emotional stability that is not posible to maintain with this 3'rd world level, maybe works, maybe doesn't work DATEK "service". With no confidence that your buy/sell order will be correctly and swiftly executed, I'd rather not trade. ANyone have comments about other brokers to shift to?
