Hi Rich,(off topic)

The biggest problem with the 10-20 second refresh is it still has to go to the broker, have him/her check your account, enter the order and wait for confirmation. It still ends up being a couple minutes even assuming the person at the order desk isn't too busy. My usual NOVL trade would cost me $600 round trip with Schwab. I sat and watched NSCP do just about the prettiest dead cat bounce you ever saw yesterday but there is no way in the world you could have played it without SOES or some other instant execution system. I'm thinking about trying Castle On Line but I can't find disinterested opinions about them anywhere on the web, which makes me kind of nervous. From what I understand SOES and SelectNet help level the playing field with the MMs. Every little edge helps.

Regards,

Don
