Prophet
Financial Systems announced an upgrade to its ProphetDirect service.
ProphetDirect provides an alternative to the data services bundled with
some of the various software packages.
Rather than providing special, new downloading software, the service allows investors substantial savings on their recurring data fees simply by redirecting the downloader built into their software packages to ProphetDirect. Investors can access historical stock data starting from 1968, worldwide futures from 1959, plus data on options, mutual funds, and indices, and they can maintain their local databases with end-of-day updates. ProphetDirect pricing starts at $19.95/month. Investors can save more with an annual subscription. A 30-day free trial is available. Prophet Financial Systems, Inc., 115 Everett Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94301, 800 772-8040, 650-322-4183, fax 650 322-4184, Info@ProphetFinance.com, www.ProphetDirect.com |
| Datek
Online Financial Services has begun displaying real-time daytrading
buying power so investors can more easily comply with new regulations that
recently became effective. The new regulations provide leverage of up to
four to one for those who daytrade on margin. Leverage for overnight buying
power remains two to one.
In addition, Datek introduced a new order-entry interface designed to decrease the time required to enter an order. The new order entry window floats on the desktop, enabling investors to enter equity orders simply by typing a few keystroke commands. This is a departure from the practice of toggling between browser windows, using dropdown menus or clicking a mouse. Datek also has introduced an order bank window, which enables its customers to prepare several orders and then send them to the marketplace at the appropriate time with a single click. Datek has also begun a limited rollout of a new Streamer quote service applet that delivers real-time, streaming news from Dow Jones and Reuters. The service is expected to be available to all Datek customers in 2002. Datek, Attn: New Accounts Dept., PO Box 2300, Jersey City, NJ 07303, 800 823-2835, 201 761-7500, fax 201-558-4365, support@datek.com, www.datek.com
