    Does anyone use this?  How would you rate it compared to other available real time services?

    Which service do you use? 

    I'm trying to find the best real time service, please help.  Thanks

    I only use the quotegrid. I have been thinking about switiching to the next platform up - however they claim they are realtime, and when i watch the numbers start to roll in at the market open. quotegrid doesnt start changing for atleast 15 minutes after the market opens.. although they claim they are realtime.  So, for now I am not using anything.  I may just open a scottrade acct and use the tools from there.

    You basically have to pay for any true real time service.  I'm paying $13.95 with yahoo premium and it's decent.  The streaming is good but most of the tools are awkward and finicky.

    I'm looking for a better streamer for about the same price.

    if you go to download.com, you can download personal stock streamer, its free, but if you want realtime quotes you can get them through prophet.com, for roughly 25 a month, the platform has absolutely everything  you need, it has 40 different kinds of analysis tools for technical analysis, and you can customize everything.  i am somewhat new to trading but i use that, and its excellent.

    I have a Scottrade account.  That is my primary account.  Zecco, unfortunately is a dog.  I use the real-time streamer in Scottrade, the charts, the S&P reports and do most of my research there.  Then, depending upon conditions, I'll make a buy in Zecco while my eye is on the Scottrade streamer.

    I don't like how your money "disappears" in Zecco either.  I can't imagine having Zecco as my only trading account.  I opened this hoping to do some fast TRADING here because of the no-fee trades.  But once you sell something, Poof! that money is gone for a couple of days.  So this has become my buy-and-hold account, while I still trade on Scottrade.  When you sell something on Scottrade, that money is technically "unsettled".  BUT you can use it to buy again.  If you then sell again before 3 days have passed, you have made a violation, and they may come after you for a check to support the money that you sold off.  That has never happened to me, and sometimes I've ended up holding a stock that I bought with "unsettled" funds a day or so longer than I would have, but that is rare.  That is the only downside.  So, I can take profits on a stock when I see a hot potential in another, because I can  sell, and they buy with the unsettle funds.  My money never "disappears"...which I find very unsettling.

    Zecco is only good if you have other tools to work with.  I may simply cancel this account because of its limitations.  The site is extremely slow.  I hate hate hate how I have to sign back in every 10 seconds (it seems) and then I have to wait wait wait while the dog loads up again....I've had stocks get away from me here while waiting for the darn  site.

    I had high hopes for Zecco.  I talked my girlfriend into opening an account here...and she is already ready to close it.  They need to speed things up.  And that sign-in, re-sign-in, sign-in-yet-again process has to GOOOOO.
