>> can you use a computer WITHOUT that Entrust software that Scotia >> makes you install? Unfortunatley no. I agree it would be much better if it was available through a 128 bit browser. >> And I dare not try and imagine how it would work if it needs to >> traverse a firewall/proxy I don't think its possible at all through a firewall or proxy. The entrust software sets up its own proxy connection which needs a direct connection to the Inet to work. Still, for those who can trade at home, I think Scotia is pretty good. Their $20 commissions can save you a bundle if you trade frequently. Oliver

I use InvestorLine, myself, and usually it's not too bad when it's up and running (it's been great all day today). The top rule of day trading is to always use stops. I thought Investorline doesn't offer stops? As for Scotia...I go to school and hold down a job so I find myself making trades from at least 8 different computer, 4 of them behind a firewall (I work in a hospital) so Scotia is out of the question. Greenline bits the big one Etrade is worse and also doesn't offer stop. That leaves Scwab...signed on today!!!! Best Regards KEITH
