A: The thread is under "software" and is called "a neat site" B: The web site is www.ird.com C: It isn't Realtick, but rather something somewhat like it. JB

That would be EXCELLENT -- type in the symbol and hit ENTER. Your default route would be installed and you could immediatly fire off an order. One of the current weaknesses of TWS is how long it takes to set up a line if an unexpected opportunity comes along. Nice idea. JB

I believe www.bigeasyinvestor.com (an excellent site recently bought by Ameritrade) would do the trick for you. JB

AAA, I'm sure you were given correct information, but I'd sure as hell try switching anyway. You wouldn't think that on the same route using DSL or Cable would make a difference either, but it does. Good luck JB

One more name for the "ignore" list. JB

JPB, I have been using IB stop flavor orders extensively for the last month or so (executed at least 30 times just today). As a slowly recovering scalper I have begun using them more and more. After reading several negative discussions on this board regarding them over the last year or so I...

I'm not sure your explaination for Don's problems are correct (based on my reread of his post), but I will agree with you that his problems likely have nothing to do with REDI. He said he "hit three different MMs". Now, as we know we can't target specific MMs with SuperSoes, so perhaps in...

>If not, then all SOES orders are held in queue >until the ECNs move or a MM joins the inside at >which time SOES orders begin executing again. Absolutely correct. I only hit SS when the MMs are on the inside and the ECN's aren't. I believe (would have to check those rules again) that...

>This is the NASDAQ rules at work, it has nothing >to do with the ECN or the trading platform (as I >am sure you are aware....:-) Don, apparently you aren't reading what I'm writing nor looking up the Naz rules for your self. The Nasdaq rules (as I posted earlier) say that there can...
