I not certain where this question regarding firewalls began but your posting has raised grave questions in my mind. I trade on line using Townsend with one of their clients over the internet. Am I to gather that it is possible for somebody who knows what they are doing to somehow trade through my computer once I am connected or, in the alternative, to trade my account without going through my computer? Answers would be greatly appreciated. If it is possible, then what commercially available software is available that would protect my trading account from unauthorized use?
