  1. Does anyone know if the Attain ECN (ATTN) still exists?
     
  2. Vinny-
    it does...the www.attain.com will now take you to Domestic securities web-site, which is the old All-Tech
    I don't think anyone but those prop traders are using ATTN, and thats not much.
     
  3. So it is still possible to see ATTN on a level 2 screen?
     
  4. yeah...i haven't been trading in a few weeks...but I did see them pop up every once in a while...
    I think you 'll be able to see their activity at
    www.nasdaqtrader.com

    just go to the monthly report section and put in ATTN
    i know at one point Attain was actually paying their prop traders to use their ecn...but few did because the liquidity sucked

    here, i made it easy and got a graph of the volume...it's up a lot, but still tiny compared to island or arca
