Interesting. My friend is using MB trader and will be happy to hear
this. Unfortunately, I tried to get on to MBT but was rejected because I'm
in Canada. Does anyone know what kind of connection www.equitytrading.com
has? Their cost structure is very similar to MBT and they also use
realtick software, so I'm hoping they will provide comparable service. -uf
