  1. You can start by looking at this page:

    What I find interesting is the statement: "Average elapsed time between market order receipt and execution - 3.7 seconds"

    Actually I find a lot of interesting statements on that page.

    Trade well,

  2. You can route to INET, ARCA, BRUT, and NYSE. An order routed to and filled at an ECN costs an extra .5 cents/share.

  3. Yeah, I dont mind the 0.005 cents charge per share. Im not in this to scalp.

    AT the same time, I still want Direct Access.

    and frankly, between, INET, BRUT, ARCA, most volume goes through those 3 anyways, so it really doesnt matter.

  6. Im thinking of using them however they have no demo and they dont have online account opening for international residents only have printable pdf forms and it doesnt say where to email the forms so I assume I have to manually mail them.

  7. In 3.7 seconds they can do many things, few of which will benefit YOU.

  8. That was real good. Very funny. Appropriate too.

    How do I embed a picture? Or does it do it automatically when I attach one?
