Hi sylvester80; Re: "Have you heard of Medved's QuoteTracker? BTW, it's a free app and I couldn't leave with out it. Download it (at quotetracker.com) and you will see what I mean. It taxes your system quite heavily and is very multithreaded and multitasking in nature. I run it all the time." I didn't truly appreciate how slow and clumsy humans are, compared to computers, until I read that the ISLD book, which is where a fairly good proportion of Nasdaq trades are matched, for every Nasdaq stock traded, is kept on just a single desktop computer (made by Dell). Then when I worked out the bandwidths, it turns out that all those thousands of daytraders typing in unison are dirt slow compared to any sort of three quarters obsolete computer. Full quote bandwidth for a daytrader is only about 50K baud, unless he is looking for simultaneous quotes on more stocks than he could possibly trade. Try reading at even a 1K baud rate. The major way that humans use computer memory bandwidth today is by playing video games. -- Carl
