Appreciate the sourpuss comment. I'll reserve my personal opinion of you "VMTrader." Speed and stability are nothing to crow about. They're expected in any trading application and should never be considered a "feature." You say "if Laser is running well..." That's the point. It...

Yep. It's back to the same old Laser alright. * Same inaccurate highs and lows * Same constant need to change chart/quote servers at startup * Same horrible stop orders that trigger prematurely. * Same pathetic charts * Same inability to customize hotkeys with individual quantitites...

I've waited a long time to toss ARCA out on its ass. It's thievery IMO for them to charge .004 for routing orders to other market centers, but ARCA has been the only game in town for getting short on the bid... ...that is, until the SEC eliminated short-sale price tests. Now ARCA is...

Genesis says they're on a 1 Gbps connection now, yet the problems persist.

What's a dedicated line cost? I get all the problems mention in this thread and have a 3.2Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM, with 15% CPU utilization, and 3Mbps of bandwidth. Do you think it's my computer?

Crossed quotes Incorrect highs and lows Constant need to change chart and quote servers Horribly inadequate stop orders It's the same old same old at Genesis. Funny thing is, I heard they actually have a fair number of programmers. So what the hell are they doing? Playing Pac Man and...

Anvil may be swell. But Laser is what I use and I'm just hoping the powerless that be wake up and fix the plaguing issues that don't seem to ever go away. Call me crazy but I think there is hope in the next 30 years.

Charts down...again. Level II quotes crossed and not updating...again. Highs and lows wrong. Laser is definitely living up to the title of this thread. P.S. Still no decent stops or any word on if/when stops will be improved, after 6+ months.

They're back in Genesis Laser....

I third that. Couldn't trade on Laser today past 10:00am.

I second that, but would also like to commend Genesis on providing this much needed communication. (I presume trader1245 is in fact a Genesis representative?) If so, this public dialog demonstrates that Genesis does in fact care, and that's the first and most important thing. Now back...

I couldn't agree more, and 3-4 years ago it would have mattered. Now every new shop on the street touts great rates. It's a commodity business where the slightest edge sways customers. Genesis's "edge" (besides rates) used to be Laser (for some people, that is--others loathe it). Now...

There will be a lot of groups coming off Laser if this keeps up.

Laser has been worse than pathetic lately. Level II quotes are totally mismatched with trades, ECN bids/offers get stuck, and the charts have been all but worthless at the open. Maybe Genesis doesn't have enough server capacity or maybe their software just plain sucks as this thread...

1. Fills on Nasdaq 100 stocks are good, but NYSE fills or smaller cap Nasdaq stocks SUCK because you can't pick the route (you're stuck with "AUTO"). For example, you can't use ARCA for your stop-short order. That means you can't short on the bid in smaller non-SHO Nasdaq stocks--so short...

Read above. Those are actual experiences. The fills are ok in some cases and horrid in others--because of the route and trigger limitations.

With respect Raul... My opinion (right or wrong) is that your analogies don't apply in this case--assuming one hires skilled programmers who just happen to be motivated to work for less. Programming is all bits, 1's and 0's, true and false. Either the code does what you want it to or it...

I wasn't expecting such a debate! It seems like some people prefer to pay more for their programmers. God bless you all for keeping America's IT industry afloat. More and more, however, the reach of the internet is commoditizing programmers. For example, I can find a programmer in...

Thanks. I'm sure they're oustanding but my math is this: I need someone good for $20/hr.
