I do not want to pull teeth... but... Checking the price... can you tell us more? Checking the Size... what would it check for? How would it handle for different size amounts? Does it break it up? Route... well this is the whole thing... you summed it up with one word. Is there...

Timber is more of what I would call a hedge fund. I am aware that many groups have merged (consolidated) to try an compete on a larger scale. Susquehanna is another one. I was talking of the groups of traders off floor that were pick-off artists. Locking free positions by using multiple...

You may be right about the programmers I have spoken with. It is not that nothing can be checked before sending an order. It is just that the program must check margin requirement, available cash, current positions to see if offsetting or opening, etc... Then it has to look into the...

"Smart routing" is a term tossed about by brokers who do not understand how things work. Many firms and ECNs just use a step by step order routing. e.g. first matches in house book, then routs to ECNs with Direct Links established, then uses Nasdaq services. This is how ARCA works...

What do you mean by "all-in"? What are the IB rates for the e-minis? Who do you prefer to use? :)

But December is already listed? Is the "rol" you mentioned just in the volume traded? How does the months listed work for futures? How do you know what is coming next? Options are in a set pattern with the front two months always listed. Then one of three cycles (Jan, Feb, Mar) aplies to...
