Non-Tech : Datek Brokerage $9.95 a trade -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Bill, I use the LII provided by my daytrading broker. I have just opened the account and haven't funded it fully, because I want to learn the software thoroughly before I start trading. So, I'm still using Datek for the bulk of my trades. I don't want to speak at length about daytrading brokers in general as my experience of them is rather limited. All I'll note is: visit the SI threads dedicated to some of them, and you'll find that there is trouble in Denmark as well, and the natives are getting restless (to mix all the metaphors thoroughly). You exchange one set of problems (with Datek), for another set. Is this a trade off that's worth it? I don't know. I guess I'll find out. Morgan
