Outstanding article - Thanks SSP. I think Knight has a lot of us labeled who use MyTrack!!!

"Knight's systems watch for investors who consistently make
money trading against the firm. For such a customer, Knight may restrict or suspend the promise to automatically execute all trades at the best price posted anywhere.

Knight also occasionally suspends this promise during "fast
markets." Suppose a mention on CNBC triggers a surge of
buying or selling in a stock; Knight can suspend automatic
execution after it has accumulated a long or short position of, say, 25,000 shares. Then it switches to manual execution and fills orders only against another customer or another dealer -- a slow process during which the stock may move a lot.

Knight tells online brokers when it has restricted automatic execution, but the brokers typically don't notify investors. In a volatile market, an investor may not get his order executed for several minutes.
