Wily, Nice Idea. I thought about this too and was going to post this as an option. But, I think the problem would be that Cybertrader is a client/server "pull on request" data feed (IMO). For example, if I was currently trading and looking at YHOO (with my one Stockbox and 3-4 charts) and then I switch to AMZN, CMGI, RNWK for a little while, I believe I only receive live data of the stock(s) that are currently feeding charts, marketviews, and stockboxes. I suppose this might work okay for my "scalp" style trades that last a couple minutes. But, for any "swing" trades that last a couple hours, I'd end-up with lots of data dropouts in my locally captured archive. Fred
