It appears that you are grasping for BASH material, but let explain this article to you... First of all this article has refering dates of 1982, and 1992. Do you have any idea how much computers and hard ware have advanced since then, EVIDENTLY not, I will try and keep this in laymen terms for you, or should I say laywoman terms.. In 1982 you would have been lucky to have had a 600 Baud modem {Extremely fast in its time} but by 1992 you could have had a 8600 baud modem, Much faster than the 600 baud. But today you can get a 56KBPS modem, and it works on a conventional phone line {I love technology} however anything over 33KBPS is a waste, because that is as fast of a connection your going to get out of any modem hooked up to your phone line. Now here is the real technology, most market makers, and or brokers have some sort of satellite, or Direct PC connection, if you look on top of their buildings you will see a small satellite receiver, which is capable of 400 KBPS {FAST HUH}, Nope it isnt compared to an ISDN, or a CABLE MODEM {Cable is the Cadillac of connections} Isdn lines are available in almost all cities big or small {that is almost 2 1/2 times faster then a Direct pc}, the cable modems are available in most cities that have a population of 10,000 or over. HENCE, most people have access to a network connection that is at least 2 1/2 times faster than a market makers, or brokers. But I guess this still won't answer your question: potentials of IT
but maybe this will help, in comparison to the amount of people that actually trade on the floor at WALL STREET, the on line traders, or IT {INSIDE TRADERS} will out number them by the MILLIONS, and will be able to get their information on their computer screens maybe 1/2 of a second after the actual traders on the floor of wall street will, on your computer you can have your order ready to press CLICK much faster then screaming BUY 10 million PABN @ $1.25..... In a nut shell the potential of IT is unlimited and if I may be so bold the new wave of the future, I would even go so far to say that someday you might actually see ALL traders trading via INTERNET, or network! It is much more convenient, and much easier on one's feet and nerves! The surface of online trading is just now being scratched, and is growing in leaps and bounds daily. The companys that have their foot in the door now, will surely be profitable in the near future, if all cards are played right!!!!!! I hope this helped, but I am certain it will not!!!!!!
P.S. Here is a link to how a Direct PC works, it has a diagram or a picture you can study, you won't even have to comprehend words by looking at the picture! primefocus.com
