Thanks everyone for defining "BBN" for me. I have another question I would like to throw out for some ideas. I would like to trade from work, but my firm uses a firewall. I've been told that cybertrader will frequently disconnect b/c "the class c ports are blocked." I'm trying to get a phone line installed, but even if i'm successful, i will be limited to 56k. Does anyone believe i can effectively trade using a 56k line? Most traders, i would think, are at 128k (ISDN) to 1.5 mbps (T1). Isn't 56k financial suicide? Any other ideas?

> The new CyBerX Simulator came online this week – it allows traders to “trade” all day, any day, with the new CyBerX software and within a real time Simulator using “live” data from a previous day - Philip OK - please tell me what I am missing here? I would assume that you would have made a Simulator of your trading program but after downloading the CyberX simulator I am at a loss as to just what it is. First, at BEST, it is a very - and I do mean VERY - slimmed down version of CyberT - not even counting CyberTrader - - and that is being somewhat optimistic. What was your objective in putting this program together? One would have guessed that it was to showcase your trading program AND to allow interested parties to use said program to find out if they wanted to spring into the world of daytrading and to do it with Cyber. This program falls far short of either - in fact, if I did not already have a copy of CyberT and had seen just this program I would have no interest in Cyber at all. My suggestion is unless I am missing something here that you pull the program before others are given the wrong impression as to just what the Cyber programs are about. IMHO, this just doesn't do it. jb

Phillip, I have to concur with others here about "CyberX". While it is nice looking, it doesn't have features or flexibility that even the most basic trader needs. The order entry functionality (excluding the wasted space) looks pretty reasonable. Two areas that deserve special notice are the User Interface in general, and the analytical graphics in particular. While pretty, the User Interface has one major fault - it wastes space horribly! Some suggestions: - Delete ANYTHING that is not functional - fat button and bit-map graphics. - Make interface horizontal, not vertical. Almost all monitors are landscape, not portrait. - Give the user the ability to separate and position each window of the screen. - Regarding analytical graphics - the information on this screen provides minimal value. This should be replaced by a module that provides some minimal graphics that are user selectable. You may be better served by providing users with a reduced feature set version of CyberTrader and stay with one software platform. Regards, Dan.

Mr Berber I was very disappointed to learn that CyberCorp was not registered as a broker-dealer in the state of Connecticut. Close as I could tell it appeared that New Hampshire, Missouri and Connecticut were the only states where CyberCorp is not registered. Although Missouri is listed as pending. Whats the problem with these states? Ct was not a registered state two years ago and I thought for sure you would be (registered) by now. If CyberCorp is good enough for 99% of the other states where does CT get off saying no? What would you have to do to comply with CT statutes, as I'm sure CT would be a lucrative state for you and the hold up has not been on your part. Is there any way around these moronic state beaurocrates? I am very annoyed with this situation and I realize this is not CyberCorps doing. PM me if necessary... I WANT MY CYBERX Clarence
