I assume I'm one of those two guys. So I will ask you. Do you use Ameritrade? And who else do you use to make comparison statements? I have accounts with amtd and Brown as well. There is no comparison, as I have stated before. Brown is updated every night by 11pm. Is amtd? Brown is generally pretty quick, even on high volume days. Last week was an exceptional week; Brown was also down for about 45 minutes or so in the morning on a few days. But down time was limited compared to amtd who was so slow when they were running, my browser would time out just trying to place an order. And while I'm thinking of it, I've suggested months ago that they put an option on the settings where we can eliminate the "preview" step. That's a no brainer. Why wouldn't they offer this?
