>>wily, there may be outages, but I haven't experienced major pain. But, I don't use Streamer and I don't use the main server ("www.datek.com"). I use QCharts for data and the Datek high-speed orders servers - orders7 or orders 16.<< Is that a well-kept secret at Datek, about choice of servers? How was Datek Oct. 8 and similar internet mania days? Is it possible to trade the first 5 minutes from the open? I understand that an Island order entered through Datek can't get cancelled for crossing the market -- true? Have you tried the remote firms? Thanks for all the info (saving to file), wily PS Do you know how it will be if/when Island becomes an exchange -- i.e., will they still be integrated on Level II with Nasdaq? I'd think they would have to.
