Thanks, Genesis!
Many, many brokers have been struggling with the recent market volatility and increased messaging traffic. I know that Genesis had lag issues on their NYSE data for a while after the Fed report a few days ago, and that's been a huge concern for me, since the best trading opportunities occur when the trading is the wildest and most active.
However, I've got to give them credit when it's due. Last night, they completed an emergency bandwidth upgrade for the data circuit between them and their Savvis provider. Today, despite the wild trading activity, my feed has been rock solid and my trading is among the best days of 2007. I've executed over 4200 tickets and 750k shares (and I'm up over $30k on the day), and it's just barely noon EST.
Way to go, Genesis, and thanks for keeping on top of issues like this while other brokers are still suffering with it.
P.S. I saw over $6k in increased slippage losses after the Fed report, so I'm not always such a happy camper.
