I haven't been around long enough to understand why anyone would be suspicious of anyone else. Sounds like Waterhouse is about like Datek. Lets you down the most when its most needed. Sometimes Datek's ticker doesn't work but trades are only $9.99. I know, from what I've read, that it's a real disadvantage not having Level II, but I read somewhere where someone said you can lose a lot more money and faster with Level II. I never win big with my trades because I never buy more than 200 to 400 shares because I'm not at all confident. I win about 90% of the time but when I lose I can't, or don't get out and lose really big. I'm still holding SKYM that I paid $45 for and 400 shares of KTEL that I paid $24 for, and a few others like that. Takes a lot of small wins to offset those loses so while I win on 90% of my trades I'm in the hole $ wise. I think tax time will kill me.
