There appears to be little there that interests me. I imagine it works for some but not for others. I guess I prefer phone executions. To each his/her own. I cannot explain why.....I'm just more comfortable when I can say "I spoke with Tim at 11:43 and put such and such an order in". Rather than say I posted an order at 11:43.....the market hit my bid at 11:45.....where's my fill? I suppose it's just habit....perhaps I'm just sensing the opinion of the guy on the desk on the other end of the phone...I'm just not an electronic trader, I suppose.
