When were they five seconds behind? (around 2:30 to 2:45 EST) I have no idea if IB was having NYSE problems yesterday. If you think your...
Your comments about their quotes are untrue. Do you have any idea what would happen if their quotes were "normally" 1-3 seconds behind? An...
here is some advice: When you notice that quotes are crossed or appear to be incorrect. Put up all the ECN's for a stock and then pinpoint...
