    What is your avg latency to your broker?

    From where to where? I am 50-70ms from Denver to Chicago on Comcast 12 down and 2 up. It's true its less secure but it is encrypted and the hackers don't want me they want bigger fish. A brokerage firm would use nothing less than DS3 or fiber.

    Trading like a Local
