DLJDirect is Competing with TRAC too! DLJDirect now has streaming real time stock quotes for the 3 main exchanges for only $14.95 plus exchange fees. Considering that DLJDirect is the leading online service, with $20 per 1,000 commissions and great margin availability, TRAC may be hard pressed to lure their customers away from DLJ's "MarketSpeed" software even with a $10mil marketing campaign. I'm probably going to cancel MyTrack next Thrusday, and switch over to DLJ's MarketSpeed from now on. I've been doing a lot of daytrading on DLJ lately, and the great execution speed and well designed trading software more than makes up for the slightly higher commissions charged IMHO. I'm just afraid with the markets getting more and more volitile, that MyTrack trading may not be able to work under fire. I'm closing a lot of positions each day in the last 10 minutes of trading, and DLJ's been fabulous at getting my orders on MM's screen within seconds. Today's daytrading of SKYT would have been a nightmare otherwise. Just my 2 cents, that's all.
