This would be difficult to do if there is only one or two price steps between the bid and ask. Maybe you could do this for less liquid...
Or be retired and have better things to do than sitting the whole day in front of a computer screen.
So it is not your computer hardware which is creating a bottleneck: your CPU load is not reaching its maximum, nor is your RAM memory usage. It...
If you want your order to participate in the opening auction you'll have to submit it as an appropriate order type (MOO: market on open, LOO:...
