Mike asked for suggestions in "What does everyone think?" post. Even though you title is much more intuitive. - For charts, you have more features from Streaming Tools. I tried both, but I prefer from Thompson. Even not being real-time (it's a minute or two delay), I found them more clean and easy to read. - For account page, I only wish a "clean" button for trade orders. Sometimes I make many trades in a day and I get a little confused seeing the orders. I remember when the list did not collapsed and was awful. - I don't know what you think should be a minimum requirement for streaming tools, but if you go to www.alphatrade.com you can save a few bucks (sorry TK) if you prefer to pay a monthly fee. I do more than minimum requirement so I don't mind. If you are not a day trader, I think the charts (from thompson) and the WatchList should be fine. Best regards Jason, you have a nice name :P

Jason -

Great forum topic. I am going to pass this on to the product team at TradeKing.

Any other suggestions you would like passed on?

Be good,

Mike

New to this, but what I would really like to see is:

 * Real time streaming quotes( would probably encourage me to trade more) I know you can get this with a certain level of trading, but as I said I am new, so just learning, and that would probably encourage me to trade more often. I think Jasonstanda's post was great and covered many great enhancements that you should consider.

On the option chains I would like to see a T Val (theoretical value) column displayed to help me determine immediately whether an option may be overpriced or not, without having to launch the option scanner.  I do not daytrade, but I do use hourly and 10-minute, and sometimes 1-minute charts to enter and exit trades. I rarely just buy a stock out of the blue.  Without the Streaming Quotes portfolio pages and the charts and analysis provided there, I would not be able to function as a trader. Judging from the comments here, making them freely available to everyone might serve two aims:  increasing trade volume and retaining customers.

need a calcuator at trading page, like scottrade does.

I would also like to see the watchlist automatically refresh. I understand that if I continue to refresh my watchlist then my account won't time out, so I see what it's been done this way, but it would be nice to have it current. Maybe it could be a checkbox option - use at your own risk, times out after 2 hours or some such.

I would like to see some improvements in the stock screener. While it's fairly easy to use, I tend to get a lot of false positives when I screen for small cap stocks. Often times 25-30% of my list will be stocks that are no longer listed on the exchange/ticker shown by the screener and the price or other details listed are not accurate. It would also be nice if we could screen by share price and sort by any of our screen criteria.

Streaming quotes would be neat, but I understand that this is an expense thing. The same with reports, reuters or S&P reports would be nice, but maybe this isn't possible if we want to maintain our low trade costs.

I would love to see more education topics. Although I understand that TK is very option centric, some folks on here just want a nice brokerage account. The whole feel and community is attractive to a younger generation of investors, which I believe could benefit from a quality education section.

That's a good suggestion. Line breaks in forum :) How JasonStandard do it? RetireOnTime, the session time out is a security feature. Every website with this kind of information should have that. Sometimes I have to Log In again, but It's better that way. We don't like to backUp, but it's needed. It's like people who don't have their contacts in a notebook. When They lost the cellphone, they lose (almost) every contact.

Line breaks are a double enter/return key striking.

This (bold) line is due to a double enter/return key striking.

This (italic) line is due to a single enter/return key striking. 

I would also like to see the 5 day wait peroid for ACH transfers reduced.  With the 7 transfers I have done here, the money has been removed from my banking account always within 2 days.  I do not understand why I am still having to wait 5 days.  Other brokerages will allow a person to trade after 2 days.  If it is manditory that you wait 5 days for every ACH transfer it should be stated as such not just for the initial deposit.

I agree with Keepingitsin with the ACH deposits. I don't understand why the transfer period is 5 full business days when withdrawals are only 2 business days. TradeKing needs to change the 5 days into 2 days for deposits as well!
