NO offense NaNa but.......have you ever tried CCS trader or GA whatever?????....Have you opened an account and demo'd PD or even Realtick? How do you know they are better then PD? I could have sworn you were asking about PD last week , now you have found two platforms that are BETTER then Point Direx???? I smell a rat, but from the sound of your broken english , it might just be your celebrating the 'year of the rat'...or is that the year of the monkey????
4000 shares to buy going to trimark, how much will it cost total? how much per ticket charge before ecns/exchange fees? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For sending orders trough trimark, i guess you have to use their tradmanage Madware/Webtrade, your cost will be: MW trader licensing fee (per trade): $2.00 4000 shares= 4 X $0.25(each 1000shares)= $1.00 Your total cost will be 3.00 But you have to check out with them, may be we are missing out something here.

Many eat monkey's brain also here, which is good for my trading, when "your year of monkey" comes, i will eat it too. I have traded on GA long time. This platefrom offered almost by most of brokers like echo, redwood, Noble, speedtrader, greentree, millinum brokers....under names of shelid, millinum trader,echo trader II,... with good charing. The beauty is that unlike many other platforms, it can work fast with dial up modem and low configered PCs. CCS trader, i do not even consider using it. I never used realtick for my trades Because I feel there are better values for $250. E-signal is just 49$. If i am getting realtick free with my trades, i use them. I have used simulated Pointdirex $39 plateform, and i do not think it can be better than realtick $250 indutry standard platform, except for their feeds, that some guys on ET had problem with, recently.
sounds too good to be true... i'll check it out. --------------------------------------------------------- Let me know also.
Real tick is the std. but for 250.00 and 1-2.00 per trade it should be.....IS GA trader Instaquote? I agree with you on the dial up but to be perfectly honest with you, If you are trading seriously, why not get cable or a dsl for $20.00 a month? Isn;t your trading worth it? If you are serious youhave to get a better direct connection....all it takes is one delayed quote or order and BOOM there's your 20.00 dsl/cable fee right there...check it out.
I guess you have not been to many 2nd and 3rd world countries. Still many traders trade with dialup modem, around the globe. Some don,t want to stay on sideline, because they do not have access to DSL or cable, to compansate for the speed they Just reduce the position size, or adding to and out of position more frequently. Ofcourse DSL or cable has value, even $20 per day if you are heavy volume trader, and if hard to access it, where you travel.
So can someone confirm their commissions ? Paying 1$ per side for 1000 shares on ISLD (+software fees) seems to good to be true...
