Someone will, but its an antiquated platform now: they have not released a new version in over 3 years.

E*TRADE bought Momentum Securities in Houston when it had 120 direct access traders on the floor. Pretty bad timing....within 6 months they were down to under 25 and now they have 5. If this is any indication of how they did with the rest of the country, it's no wonder they are selling!
