Let me tell you it sucked. Especially the telephone quote system used by Datek in the early 2000's. It's both a blessing and a curse. The IPhone has given so much freedom to trading. Yet at the same time it makes you a slave because of the instant gratification it gives anytime, anyplace making it hard to walk away from the love of the game.
I used to trade via DATEK back then aswell, bought a WAP enabled business Nokia so I could just about get live quotes eventually, good ti nahhh they where shite
