    Stupid Question re:ECN's

    and this is exactly why high-freq traders make money. you HAVE to care of what you are using, unless your trade horizons are VERY long. just by using "eh smart" ur losing quality of execution, which = $, which may mean a difference between a sucess and failure.

    Cheap Realtime quotes with API

    why would you say that. We develop code 24/7 Testing it on live data and live execution can only happen during market hours, but that's the same regardless of what you use since you want live quotes & execution. I'm not seeing what you mean.

    Laser's the front end GUI. very fast, stable, excellent executions. Not all features are there, bud modded laser solves that issue. App is very lite, almost no system resources, even in heavy times.

    Dark Pool / Spead B/Ds ? (for stat arb)

    Thanks for detailed post. I found ok liquidity in Bats and EDGX families (actually EDGX being better on thicker names). However, since i mainly remove and pay spread, i need to really control the costs. NYFIX gives me a price improvement once in a blue moon - but their servers are slow...
