<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have been using PMBe for some weeks now.
I can't say I have ever experienced the delay you speak of. The pages are
set to refresh at intervals from between 15 secs and 60 mins but you can always
refresh them manually by hitting F5. The orders appear to hit the floor
within a couple of seconds and the fills come back within 30 secs, usually
quicker. Maybe the refresh rate is putting you off?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Also switch to ISDN it seems much faster than a 56k modem,
dont know why. Also it saves me a huge phone bill. I used to be
logged on all day to avoid the 60 secs it takes to log on when you want to place
a trade. ISDN logs you on in about 5 secs (not the 2 secs claimed!).
By keeping your browser on the screen when you disconnect it saves you
having to go through the PMBe login screen the next time you connect. So
in a nutshell you should be getting your order to the floor well within 10 secs
of deciding to pull the trigger if you are offline at the time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>One other thing, PMB recommend you keep a separate screen just
for your browser. I agree and have just bought a new PC just for that
purpose. As I am sure you know they are so cheap nowadays it is well worth
it. Actually I had a couple of 17" monitors surplus to requirements
so I got away with just buying a new box. Biggest problem is where to put
the darn thing, I just realised that crammed onto and under my desk are 5
PCs! No wonder it seems to get warm in my office!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I've heard good comments re: PMB's system,
but my reservation about this</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>is the time it takes for a web page to
download. I trade the S&P and need</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>to enter orders very quickly--I like to put
in my entry order and the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>protective stop at the same time.
Waiting for the new page to download</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>when a trade isn't
working sounds expensive to me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I'd like to hear from you PMB users if web
page download time is a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>problem and if not what kind of connection
you have. I use a 56k</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>modem but almost never get better than a
28.8 connection.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Has anyone used FTG? I have their
software and it looks very good--but</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>no one seems to be a customer. Is
there a reason for this?? They</FONT></DIV>

Can anyone recommend them for eod data or is there a
better choice? Actually, I am seeking a good source of
historical stock market data. I would be grateful for any
direction and guidance and, if possible, their phone
numbers? Thanks.
