I made the move this week and now that I am out of Schwab, I am going to write Mr. Schwab a letter. As it turns out, he is living in the same area as me in Atherton CA and I have his address. Anyone who would like to add some input are welcome to send me an email with some specific thoughts...

Anyone with ChoiceTrade. Just downloaded their Direct Pro software based trading platform. Could use any input anyone has about them. Thanks Rich C

I had my last straw with Schwab. I am looking at a few brokers. I specifically need Streaming News, Conditional orders when I can stop out an Option based on the share price and a broker that can handle IRA and Partnership accounts. Can anyone offer any input? Is anyone with Tradeking? If...

I agree about the Alerts. I close most of my Option calls/puts with Alerts, based on the share price. I am some what limited with SSpro. Mostly annoyed that the feat/terms are not the same, but with out the alerts, it would mean changing the way I get stopped out. It's hard to break habits...

Thanks for your imput. All thoughts are appreciated. I have four monitors so I have plenty of room to strecth out. I also use Wizetrade which I have been very succesful with. I never used the CT or Schwab charts. Rich C338

Nice. Is it easy to set up??? Rich C

Joey, I was impressed with your first post about Realtime and I put it on my list of brokers to follow up with. I looked at several already and everyone has something missing, or a feature they brag about but I don't need. I am hoping Realtime is as customizable as you claim. I meant to thank...

Ericy, I agree and that is why I am staying for now. I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt. After looking at several brokers over the last couple of months, I find it difficult to move just to say I moved, when in fact, there is nothing out there as good as what we had. If...

If I decide to make a move, I think I can handle it on my own.

No, the rep did not say what would be included. Only that it was a major upgrade. I am starting to see suttle changes so I know they are making corrections. I noticed that the window that now comes up when you are placing an option order is different.

For the record, I was dealing with a Schwab rep on some account problems, (this seems to be the norm lately) and he said they have a major upgrade scheduled for sometime in February. I will hold off till then before making a new brokerage decision. Unfortunately, I have yet to find an account...

thanks

I didn't bother to see if "Update Available" was highlighted because I received a notice when I went to log off. I am using 4.16, the platform down loaded to CT crossovers. I have no idea what was upgraded, but for sure it wasn't anything I was hoping for.
