We had had a avocado and citrus grove and we were not thrilled with the shit imported from outside. The “Huang long bing” Florida’s citrus was blasted by the Asian psyllid.

All the more reason for traders in these states to switch to trading over our Chicago co-located servers. You'll be <1-2ms away from order servers, significantly reducing execution times, as well as the risks of multiple points of failure without having to have a major investment in hardware and infrastructure. Spend $1000-$1500 on a new computer for trading, or spend $59 per month, and have the option of cancelling anytime in case trading doesn't work out.
