  3. With regards to data/quote delivery, if I subscribe to NYSE data over a 56k dialup with 1800ms latency are you suggesting that the NYSE slow down their quotes to the rate of the slowest subscriber?

  4. Yes.

    Anything else?

  5. Now that we've dispensed with the shills stupid question, here's some more fact.

    I figured out lots of this on my own years ago, but nice to see others catching up.

    Better late than never.

    A stitch in time saves nine.

  6. How would you go about doing that in a way that is fair to ALL market participants? I'm looking forward to you telling me how to make the impossible possible.

  7. So your solution to unfairness is to encourage it? Bless it?

    At least we know where you're coming from.

  8. Answer the question. How exactly can you delay quotes and how exactly can you distribute delayed quotes to ALL market participants equally so that everyone receives data at the same time?

    Personally I think that this is a stupid idea because #1 its not physiclly possible and #2 there is no way (ever) to delay quotes to people on the floor, therefore by delaying quotes to the rest of the world you would enable them to steal from the little guy on a scale so much greater than pre-fast internet.

    I've asked several times before in this thread - how do you account for bandwidth and latency? You just said "yes" to me but that really says nothing other than you don't know what you are talking about. If I have a 1.8 second latency and I'm on 56k dialup with bandwidth restrictions, how would the NYSE know what my connection is? How would the NYSE be able to deliver quotes to an entire trading floor in NYC at the same exact speed as I got them in Cali or Oregon over 56k dialup?

    Your answer makes no sense and you are digging your hole deeper.

  10. The best part of this is that Themis keeps being pointed to as a source of information. Oh, and ZeroHedge.

    What I don't get are stock777's motivations. You just continually out yourself as ignorant, and when called on it, pile on more.
