Etrade Power Trader Software Review:

I checked out the active trader today. It's very nice. I'm impressed, I wasn't expecting it to be so comprehensive. It's not a replacement for RTIII but it's not that far behind, and in many ways better.

I love having the realtime news. What would be nice is to include breifing.com inplay on one of the tabs. I didn't like that it crashed my computer, but it's new. I also didn't like that I couldn't filter the streaming news. I really don't care about sports scores and such. And having to launch a webpage to place an order is clumsy and slow.

But, it's a great start and I like it. Almost (not quite) makes up for the horrendous customer non-service from etrade. However, I would still not use it to daytrade due to the horrible executions you get, especially from NITE - be it limit or market. I will continue to use ETrade for position trading at least for awhile (still hoping they do something about executions).
