ABWatley, an excellent approach but lots of limitations as a result of data routing, fees, lack of professional overisght of an order. Today's open proved that a trader seeing the market should have adjusted their execution approach from one system to another based upon which systems, such as SOES at the open, were backlogged and getting nothing done. As well, a firm can go to town, and approach a market maker and demand stock. They would laugh at an individual client. And AB Watley is not going to go to town for you.
There are a few. The point is, if there we no advantage we would not be as successful as we have been for the past 20 years.
The idea is not to promote the firm as I am a trader and don't make $1 more in salary for anything that comes our way. But as head trader, I can tell from first hand experience there is a large difference in quality of services. If you choose not to see it, or choose to value a $15 in savings in commission as the more important factor, so be.
Best wishes, Best prices for the day should be at the open, I will be a seller at the open and then look to buy back about 10:30am
