Zecco, the discount online broker that I gave high marks to in my comparison of online discount brokers a few months ago has added features and upgraded their user interface. First, in late March they redesigned (and vastly improved) the electronic money movement interface, now they've added a dashboard style interface to make trades and research even easier. Zecco customers can now get instant look at the markets, your portfolio, and trades (including options trades). Posts on their forum from customers seem to show a pretty high level of praise for the new interface.

They've also added a community sentiment graphic to show a bullish or bearish sentiment on a stock. Where they get the information to run this, I'm not entirely sure. It appears they track how many Zecco customers have bought and sold a particular issue for the past 5 days, and present it in a dashboard style interface. It will also graphically show where a particular stock lies on 2 scalers, worst performing - best performing, and least held – most held. They also have added a paperless option so you can opt to receive trade confirmations and statements by email, with no printed documents sent through snail mail.
