I let my wife read your post and her remark is that it seems all ex- CT members, are are complaining about similiar issues. One tech did tell me that changes are made by the amount of request from traders. You need to make sure to address your concerns with the Tech Support department. They...

I have now looked over at least ten Brokers. I am so frustrated. One doesn't offer checking, another doesn't offer streaming news, another doesn't offer programable columns in the Open Position window. I have yet to find one broker with everything CT had. I find it a little hard to believe...

SIPC I stand corrected. Doesn't sound right that you could not trade and everything is tied up for months. I was always told all of these brokers are only a platform to allow your trades. The neither hold or control your assests. They make their money from commissions which are also paid to...

AAA By law all accounts must be backed by the FDIC. They cover up to $100,000 in cash and all securities. There discount houses do not hold your money. Thats why they use entitys like Penson. Its all safe. No need to be so paranoid.

I am narrowing down my list of brokers. One that seems really interesting is TradeKing.com. Take their tour. Plenty of trading tools. and some of the best prices I have seen. Pricing is secondary to me. I will call on Monday. I have plenty of questions. One thing they definetly have over CT is...

Joeybell, Checkout Direct access elite. Same Identical websit(different color) as Cobra. Whats up with this???

dino, Who do you deal with at Nobel? I just checked out their Omni Pro demo and I have some questions. Definetly one to be looking at in making a final decision. Rich C338

I like the layouts in E-Trade but their demize scares the hell out of me. Their share price has dropped from $20 to $3 over night as several traders are leaving. Looks like they are headed into bankruptcy.

So far today, I talked to Ameritrade, Nobel, Firtsrade and tradeStation. Ameritrade has no demo and no real view of the layouts. The best the rep could do was to tell me where the closest office is to my home and they could show me there. Makes you wonder how, a company can survive in today's...

Thanks to all for your responses. I will spend today and the rest of the weekend looking at brokers. All of your inputs are very helpful. I hate this. It never fails that you never really see if a new broker is what you want till after you have moved over your assests, spent a few weeks...

Don't you think we should have heard some response from Scwab by now. What a Fiasco. I have a friend who has a special account with Schwab. Its formembers who hold over $1 milin securities. They get preferencial treatment with an assigned agent to handle their need. Through my friend, I was able...

TargetO You mention you have heard RealTick is slow. Can you tell me where to go to find info like that. I am desperating looking at several brokers and need as much info as possible, to make a sane decision over this terrible disaster.

To start with, I have just registered as a member to Elite Trader and I would like to say hello to all of the members. I have been looking for a site to see if I was the only one having problems with Schwab. Guess not Huh!!! I see that everyone has a unique experience to share with the...
