Quote from Bobarino:
Pretty interesting guys, do you see particular venues stuck... and the bursts, do they happen in certain venues as well?
I dont really trade the thinner stocks, so I probably dont notice this either. However, I can tell you that if the orders are kind of sitting around doing nothing you may want to look at WHAT type of orders you send.
I had the tech support guys call Nasdaq about 5-6 weeks ago because I felt like I kept misisng out on volume. As it turns out, the orders were routed away about 4-5 times each and by the time they came back to NSDQ.... it was 4 seconds later and I was now at the BACK of the line.
Depending on the market, I switch over to ISO orders or on my box I send non pro-active orders. Even better, use the OUCH connection to NSDQ on Anvil (send an ISLD order, instead of NSDQ)
Now do me a favor, don't steal my volume!!! LOL![]()
Excellent post. Iso orders are extremely important nowadays.
