<i>"Ya IB is pretty solid, I've had a few hicups with Tradestation though."</i> Since 2005 I've used Mirus broker, Dorman clearing and Ninja - Zen-Fire combo. Never once have I lost connectivity where it was on their end. A few times I had the platform lag or freeze when tech issues were...

filling five ER2 at market will range from no slip to 2 - 3 ticks slipped from first to last. Around news events, especially 9:30am to 10am est can be hairy. I think it was early March sessions where a couple of entries slipped more than a full point on me, i.e. greater than ten ticks...

<i>"Simple test now a days..is their system defined enough and "automated"....?"</i> Simple test for any system: Let's say it becomes offered to the public. Out of two hundred system package sales over time, five of those purchasers have big money. Four decide to trade 1,000 contracts...
