can anyone here on this thread that uses mbtrading tell me anything about newswatch? i downloaded it awhile ago from mb's download site, and installed it, thinking it was a newswire service. for starters, it looks like something else. what is it they call a service that retrieves info that you have specified? a bot? (duh). but the reason i don't know more is that after installation, i can not connect and instead get a msg saying host is down. so are there specific hours? and what kind of service is it? the name newswatch sounded good to me. and what are your opinions of it? thanks, mark

If you do 50,000 shares on Island that adds liquidity, your commission is zero at Cyberbroker. If you do 50,000 share on a selectnet preference, your commission would be 19.95 plus $1.00 for the ticket because there is not a per share fee. Remember, there is not limit to the amount of shares on a ticket. If you trade size and use another ECN, then you are correct and would have a higher rate than MB Trading. If you trade small size, under 1000 shares and use Island all the time, you will come out ahead if you do not trade alot during the month. I am guessing now that MB Trading has lowered their rates to catch up with JPR, that Cyberbroker will do the same. I want to point out that I do not have an account at Cyberbroker, or JPR.
