I'm about ready to stop completely. I still have hung orders from the open. Now we know why they bitched to Schumer about flash orders. Their infrastructure can't even handle regular orders.

Now I routed NYSE a long time ago Don't you see how late they're reactin' They only fill and they fill when they wanna So get the morgue embalm the goner They don't care 'cause they stay paid anyway They teach ya like an ace they can't be betrayed I know you stumble with no use people If...

Sorry, my bad on misreading speed. I'm not sure if instantiating would help. I run one instance only, but I'm not constantly turning symbols on and off. The only way to know for sure is to try it for yourself. I have friends that use NXCore from DTN to manage large #'s of symbols. I myself...

If you're sending 200 orders/sec I would think you could afford a separate quote source? Not trying to be a smartass, but seriously, you're pushing Sterling awfully hard. It's an API bolted onto a manual trading platform. I would think there's a better solution out there for you, like maybe...

"IB Chronic Data Feed Issue" I had no idea there was an exchange for Chronic. How do I trade these contracts???? And more important, how do I notify IB I wish to take delivery? (sorry, couldn't resist) :p

Those firms don't have Don, who requires constant supervision. (Sorry Don, couldn't resist....) :)

Not saying prop firms don't need it. Just saying that as long as you have the deposit money they will sponsor you. So no advantage to doing it yourself. You may even find that the firm that best suits you doesn't require the S7. And, as the OP has discovered, it's very difficult if not...

Series 7 for what purpose? Prop firm, traditional brokerage? If you're talking prop firms of the type you see here at ET, they'll take anyone with a deposit. You can't mean one of these firms otherwise what was the point of college, you could have joined any of them straight out of high...

Bingo. This has nothing to do with fairness and everything to do with NYSE being in Schumer's district. What's the only venue not offering these orders?

Bingo. If you don't want your order flashed turn off that function. It is optional on BATS/EDGX/NSDQ which are the routes under debate. If you do your volume with lots of small orders, these Flash orders are great. Price improvements are pretty common. If you're sending a large order via...

I'm pretty sure NYSE issued a correction and GS was #1 that week same as usual. This was all on the Zero Hedge blog.

Except you can opt-out. like this: http://www.batstrading.com/resources/features/bats_exchange_dart.pdf I find it interesting that the people who are the most outraged seem to be the least experienced traders. Just don't route to places that are letting outsiders see your order flow.

Yes. Most orders are pinged to [edit] "dark liquidity providers" for potential price improvement and I think that is where the information for frontrunning is coming from. Some routes (such as BATS) allow you to turn off the dark book pinging. The solution is pretty damn simple. If you think...

I don't believe I ever said I was playing the millisecond game. If you're happy with your broker's feed good for you. All I'm saying is if the datafeed you are using isn't performing the way you want, there is no reason you can't use another. You seem to want it both ways by saying...

Because IQfeed and Esignal aren't brokers? Why is this concept so difficult for you. If the datafeed your broker provides doesn't meet your needs you can use one that does. If IB meets your needs then great. The fact that IB allows you to interchange Esignal's feed with their own feed ought to...

Ummm..... IB doesn't provide tick data?

Of course you will notice differences. Otherwise, what's the point? I believe he already said why he doesn't want to use IB for data. He requires tick data and IB doesn't provide that. There's absolutely no reason why you can't mix and match execution platforms and data sources. I do it...

That's kind of an odd thing to say considering that IB's TWS can be set to use the Esignal feed rather than IB's feed. You don't have to use your broker's feed. If all you need is a feed, I like IQFeed from DTN. Esignal is OK too, but is more expensive. You may find IB's feed meets...

Good grief dude. It's the premium/discount that the futures trade from the cash value. Why they call it "fair value" I have no idea. But you need it to figure out what your stocks should be opening each morning based on where the futures are trading. Those websites are nice enough to save you...

It seems to me that religion is required for those that can't live a moral life without the carrot and stick of heaven and hell to motivate them. That's why I find it so interesting that so many religious types can't seem to dis-entwine their religion and their morality. It's as if the only...
