I guess it depends on the number and type of accounts you manage. I
manage multiple accounts through an Advisor account at IB plus
accounts at Scottrade. I feel I owe it to them to pay close attention
to their money.
I operate 2 trading systems plus market timing indicators - all
written and backtested using AB. I also have 2 other subscription
services I use which require daily downloading - so the Yahoo data
only adds a small amount of additional work to my routine.
