interquote

was having some real problems with them until yesterday when things straightened out

what I like about them is that they have a nice vsbasic interface that allows me to intercept the ticks - have written a pretty good system that monitors what is going on and it keeps getting better as I work out the kinks (mostly it gives me too many messages, or not enough <g>]

how about you..

hey stumpy

you're holding out on me

I just read that Preferred pays interest on short positions

I love trading from the short side and this is a real perk, almost no one does it..

they also have good margin rates

Hi All:

I have been using Brown & Co for a while, but lately it's becoming impossible to daytrade with them. Their web site is sluggish as heck, and trade confirmations and position updates are often late, costing me thousands.

Can someone compare their experience using Preferred (DeltaTrader Pro) with Brown or other firms? Also, I am looking for ease of tax tracking, and before and afterhours trading. I would appreciate if someone can comment on these areas.

Thanks in advance.

Trader
