I tried it for a while. Not bad overall. However I did experience situations
where all data would just stop with no warning. Also I recall emini futures
stopping updating one day; they said they would paste in data to their
database, but they never did. Much of the historical data is crap, not
usable. Better real time than on history. Non emini globex they charge
obscene globex fees on top of commissions. I didn't use stock order entry.
It is much more advanced than futures I think. Futures interface is lame
compared with IB.
