Funny how a few months ago you couldn't stop talking about Echo. You made them sound like the best thing going. Your credibility now seems in question in my opinion. Are you afraid of the repercussions for taking Echo's whole San Diego office to another firm?

Echo is good enough to get the job done but system outages are far more frequent than I expected from a proprietary firm. I've heard others on this board say the downtime is limitted but I disagree completely. I experienced problems almost weekly. Overall, when it comes down to it, Echo seems...

Bryan, And what about the "did you just come off the floor" comment? You're a contradiction of sorts aren't you...

Bryan: No offense but your numbers are way off (or you must be using a different Echo system than I am). And maybe I WILL start posting every time we go down. Someone should be held accountable. I've noticed that things dont seem to get done without a little public pressure. Everyone...

This is becoming commonplace--another 1/2 hour of trading lost again today. Can anyone explain to me why EchoTrade has been down so much lately? This is costing me thousands and I'm getting sick of it. Why is there no redundancy???

To anyone considering a data feed, please take my word and do NOT consider HyperFeed. Hyper has been cost me thousands over the past few months due to persistent outages. They do nothing but make excuses and they don't deserve your valuable business. Today is case in point. On one of the...

I have to agree, Don that message seemed very transparent...but then again, if someone is suprised that Don has an ulterior motive in his posts, then they probably haven't been reading his stuff very long. He's a VERY calculating guy.

Don, I actually prefer a firm with low rates and ECN rebates--I do a lot of bidding and offereing. Bright doesn't offer ECN rebates. And do you still charge $900/month overhead if a trader wants his own computer? A firm with the latest hardware and beneficially unique trading software is...

Nice commercial for your first post Norway.

But hey, they still offer a nice 20% payout of your profits if you trade proprietary!!

Thanks...thats what I heard but no one has any answers on why there is no redundancy...I've never heard of a firm with no power backup. This outage has cost several people a small fortune.

Anyone out there??? I thought there were a bunch of Echo people on this board...

Does anyone know why Echo is down? Their system has been down for almost two hours and I can't get any answers. This is ridiculous.
