What is success? If growing a few thousand dollars on net stocks is success, then the discount broker is ok. If it is being a real pro (which I am not) then surely you need to manage you risk more with better data. I read one trader who made over $ 20,000 on MZON. I remember that day well, I bought the stock mentioned 3 minutes later in one of the broker chat columns instead, and made nothing. I missed the same gain as I would have put in about the amount he must have) - but would not have needed more than a basic free realtime quote system to bag that momentum madness. Seems to me the rules are changing so fast yo have to re-examine your strategy every week.

Realtick...You are right. Which one do you use ? Do you use multi monitors with window 98 and a PCI (??) card for multi monitors (2-3 monitors). Is the setup of the software (realtick) for multimonitors easy to follow ? Do you have any email or document with answers for the above questions? Thanks
