I have made out like a bandit trading OTC-BB's with MyTrade...I only tested it today with a high vol. NAS stock to try to re-create all the problems they have been talking about. I would think that these problems could be fixed by just limiting the flow of trades being pushed on these super high vol. issues...the quotes go buy so fast you can't read them anyway. Be nice if they could put a time limit like one trade every 1/2 second or so...the important info is the bid/ask & level II stuff. To see the ticker on top of the MyTrade unit zipping by @ 400 MPH is a waste of bandwidth & resources. Some of these tickers have at least 50 trades per second flying by... I will send a suggestion to the MyTrack techs that they install some kind of "flow limiting" rules on the "last" columns and on the ticker running across the top of MyTrade...any dynamic "window" that shows trades going off. This high rate of data flow may be a problem only for those of us on cable modems and such.
