"AOL just isn't educated on what our service does," says Microsoft Network product manager Rob Bennett...

It's not free, but it's likely to be headache-free...

The same tools are generally available at home or in the office via the Internet, though they are less easily managed and access is slower. The day-trading firms make money by taking a commission on each trade. Day traders try to profit from fractional moves in their stocks, and most close out all their positions before each day ends...
