250 R/T's per month? Sheesh! That's a piece of work. IB's API offering appears to have its faults, but I suspect they will rapidly take the bulk of the market away from Cyber if that price structure holds. Doc

Ouch, smart routing only, groan. Hopefully this will change. Hendrix, thanks for the lead, I'll go take a look at the Yahoo group. With luck they can point me to a similar one where the Java version of the API is discussed. (I am allergic to Microsoft VB.) Anyone know which languages and...

Carl, I agree that being able to see ECN book data would be of considerable interest. As well as being able to watch the T&S feed. Apparently IB's API only allows one to submit smart-routed orders instead of selecting one's own routing. If Cyber allows full routing control for orders...

Eastboy talks about the stuck quote problem with Realtick. Let me come at this from a different angle and confirm what he's saying. Cybercorp has the identical problem with identical symptoms and an identical cure (read: waste your trading time to bitch to a customer svc rep who -might-...

So one of my huge annoyances with CyberTrader (see my big bash of inept CyberCorp in "Brokers") is that the trading app doesn't play well with others. What I'd really like is a Level 2 quote source where I can link it to (and filter with) a spreadsheet of my own. This is particularly of...
