EVEN BLOODHOUNDS DON'T TRACK THIS EASILY

by Donnie013 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 08 '01
Pros: quick trades, small commission, many features
Cons: glues you to your seat
Bloodhounds? Actually, I'm talking about tracking. Stock tracking!

Last year, my husband and I decided to sign up for Datek Online. At the time, we chose NOT to sign up for "day trading" but only for the use of their "streamer" option. We...

Datek: Fast and Friendly Online Brokerage

by greenspj , Sep 18 '00
Pros: can get NASDAQ bb stocks, fast website, great customer service
Cons: getting your password set is a BIG PAIN
Note 1/31/02

I closed my Datek account last year since they imposed a mandatory minimum $15/month charge on accounts less than $5000 in addition to their normal tradining fees.

Now back to the original review.....

Great online trading

by control-cancel , Oct 16 '00
Pros: Simple interface, decent execution
Cons: Little hand-holding if you need it
Datek has been excellent for me. I checked out all the major online brokers before deciding; I also have an E*Trade account because my company uses their OptionsLink interface for stock options, so though I have never done any trading with it I was able...

Great Broker Packed into a Small Price

by dewboyal , Sep 22 '03
Pros: Low Commissions, Fast Service, Easy to Setup and Access, Lots of Features
Cons: Customer Service mostly Database Driven, Could Expand Depth/Breadth of Offerings
As one of the myriad of online brokers, Datek does indeed stand out from the crowd. A low $9.99 per order commission, a host of free and useful services, and a simple interface combine to create a truly great online trading experience. However, befor ...

What happened to Datek?

by matt3n , Feb 17 '00
Pros: Inexpensive, quick trades
Cons: Poor customer service, technical glitches
On paper, Datek Online simply the best online brokerage for the average stock trader. I signed up because I was lured by it's technology and promise that trades would be executed within 60 seconds. Since then, I have had several unpleasant experiences...

Good Brokerage

by nsalina , Mar 01 '00
Pros: Cheap, Stock Streamer
Cons: No options
I feel Datek Online is one of the better online brokerages. It has cheap trades at $9.99, average research, instant account updates, and fast transaction speed. I've been using Datek for about 2 years and don't have many complaints with the service. I...

Great Online Broker

by heychris , Feb 24 '00
Pros: Cheap and Fast
Cons: have to be a semi-experienced investor
Datek is a great online broker. I’ve been using them for about a month now. I did a lot of research before choosing a broker. Since I didn’t have much money to invest I needed low commissions (Datek is 9.99 for market and limit). I looked at almost every...

It's getting better.

by Andrew0124 , Jun 26 '00
Pros: Low commission, quick execution, and it improves its service gradully.
Cons: Takes a long time to deposit, not as informative as other brokers do.
Just like cars, so are online brokers, what is best for one might not be the same to another. Hence, before choosing the online broker, you must think about what you really need. For me, I don't have huge amount of idle money to put into stock...

A Good Enough Online Brokerage

by SkipKK , Oct 18 '00
Pros: Quick, clean, reliable, inexpensive trades
Cons: occasionally system is overwhelmed and incorrect information comes up. They have a warning on the main site when that occurs.
I have been using Datek for a couple of years now, having tried both Etrade and Suretrade previously. The primary reason for being attracted to Datek is that trades on it generally occur "untouched by human hands". Why would that matter?...

No clutter, no junk.

by danielbeck , May 16 '00
Pros: clean site, good support
Cons: none so far
I've had a Datek account for a few years now -- was initially attracted to it by the fact that it had the lowest per-trade rates. A while back, I got lured into switching to E*Trade (it was those frequent-flyer miles, that's what did it) -- within a...

More bad Datek experiences

by davegingerich , Aug 11 '00
Pros: some improvements
Cons: still far short of what you should expect
Introduction
I wrote an earlier review of this privately-owned, online trading company and it wasn't all that complementary. What's happened since then?

Well, not much except more bad experiences, some response improvement and...

Datek Online: A Great Tool For The Self-Sufficient Investor

by nghiemr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 11 '00
Pros: Quick & Inexpensive Transactions, Easy To Navigate & Locate Information
Cons: Bland Website Format
What drew me to Datek Online? Inexpensive $9.99 trades up to 5,000 shares! What keeps me at Datek Online? The overall quality, ease, and speed of the service I receive.

As a novice stock investor, Datek Online seemed a little intimidating...

Datek: great features, great price

by david_ogren , Oct 21 '99
Pros: Representation via Island ECN; Unique features; Real-time available funds updates
Cons: Service sometimes slow/unavailable during a busy market; no options trading
I have to admit that I originally signed up for Datek because it was the cheapest of the major online brokers. But I've stayed with it for the past two years because of the functionality it offers. Despite being exposed to several other online...

Using Datek to Best Advantage

by dreamix , Dec 16 '99
Pros: Fast executions, Island ECN
Cons: Past legal improprieties of firm
Using Datek in conjunction with the Java version of the Island ECN is the most powerful way to trade. You can access the Java version at www.islandecn.com. The Island book on the Datek site only gives you the HTML version, which you have to manually...

The two faces of Datek

by repastj , Mar 17 '00
Pros: Quick, cheap trades
Cons: What's customer support?
Not too many years ago I began my fateful
dive into investing. Online trading was available
at the time, however, I didn't truly trust my
personal financial information to be posted on the
internet. (I still won't give out my...
