Neovest's IOG (intelligent order generation) is a fully automated system for equites. It is very powerful. The prop firm EGM uses it. www.neovest.com www.egmtrading.com

FYI....There is a good article on these guys (EGM) in this weeks Barron's Technology Week section (6/23/03).

(I know you posted this a while ago but if you are still interested here is some info.) I am a First Alert user and I am also interested in using IOG (Intelligent Order Generation). I saw this press release on CBS Marketwatch. This firm uses IOG...

Thats the difference between Direct Access and firms that aren't Direct Access. I thought Cybertrader was Direct Access?

That sucks. Whats the point of having a universal account? Would you be better off having seperate stock and future accounts?

Nice ad. How many traders in the offices in LA, San Diego, and San Fran?
