We recently read that PatSystems was restructuring. Does this have any impact on the brokers using the software (cost ? support ?).

From what I heard Pats has a 2 year burn rate right now. Most firms are grandfathered in as far as pricing is concerned. One worry was Refco (who was the biggest user) will be dropping Pats soon, since they are now part owner of EasyScreen (a competitor). But RCG just became the biggest user of Pats and RCG has a board member on Pats now.

Will you be offering the Easyscreen front end as well? Any time lines on that rollout by Refco yet?
 
We have no plans on offering the Easy Screen, and I do not know when Refco is rolling it out to IBs.

Sorry, but they haven't given much info. I think they are being tight lipped because of the conflict with Pats.

Ok thanks for the info.
 
@Craig

Is there any possibility to integrate Excel in trading with Pats, like the Excel integration of IB?

I need this for automated trading.

You cannot integrate Pats with excel and they have no plans to initiate integration

Some form of integration - by default may be possible with OTTO on CQG when and if it is interfaced to a PATS broker - but then it would be using CGQ data and not Globex direct
 
I never would use CQG for order entry.

CQG network is used for
a) data transmission
b) order transmission
c) downloading updates ( ~ 40 MB)

Who will be responsible if your order gets stuck ?
