Non-Tech : Fidelity FOX Spartan Brokerage -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I have a couple of questions about Fidelity brokerage: How's the Fidelity online trading web site? Does it freeze or crash often? How about during market opening and closing? And, how long does it take usually to get a trade confirmation? It's not the fastest site around, but I've never had it crash or be unavailable for more than a few minutes. I don't trade during the opening, so I can't speak to that. Trade confirmations usually come back within 10 seconds or so.

Hi, I use CyBerTrader primarily for my daytrading. I use Fidelity for my less frequent short term position trades. For that, it works fine. I use their proprietary software, however, Fox Plus. The website seems too slow for me. I can't say much about the open or close, seems fine to me. Fox doesn't crash much, not hardly at all, actually. I get confirms usually within a couple seconds on Nasdaq issues, maybe 30-60 seconds on NYSE stocks. Hope this helps. Bill
