Actually, no electronic system is as good as the old days when you would call in directly to the floor, and then hold on the line until you got your fill. Can take awhile to get a fill nowdays via computer. We've gone backwards with regards to efficiency as far as the pit is concerned. In 1987, I could get a fill in beans/cattle, whatever, in under a minute. Market orders of course. try that now!
Global Futures has several trading platforms that will work to trade grains via the pit. You can place your orders at any time of day. Also, if your computer stops working, you can call our office, and place the order over the phone. If you want to find out more about what we offer, email me, and I will answer any questions that you have.
