20-30 seconds!!?? Are you using IB for your broker and using their TWS? If so, just set the default order to a 5 contract limit order. Then you can just click on the BID to create a limit order to SELL or the ASK to BUY. You can then just click the T to transmit or click on any part of the order to open a drop down menu to change order type, price or quantity. I find it takes me less than a second to enter my entry orders and maybe two or three seconds to set my stop-limit orders.
No, I'm using REFCO. They have a good floor operation which is what I normally trade. If I decide after Dec. to continue with the emini then I'll probably look for a firm with service and a better order entry platform.
