Why would anyone be crazy to deal with a firm that sells order flow. My company does it. You probably do not have much experience in the markets but let me explain how it works. A NASDAQ level III machine is for making markets. The system has "ACES" which is the same thing has SOES. ACES is instant, one second execution. Let us say that you are my client and want to sell 1,000 shares of INTC. I put the order into the system and it is executed immediately. It is the same as if I were to be trading on SOES. So why would you be crazy to deal with a firm that does this? If the company does not make a market in the stock, then I SOES the order for my client. Now we do not get a rebate for that but it takes the same amount of time. Lastly, god bless other firms for selling order flow. This enables them to pass the savings down to the customer. This is how companies are charging next to nothing for trades.

AHM, You asked: "Show me any major firm - on-line or otherwise - that doesn't make markets in selected securities." Here is my answer listing many such firms. What is your point? It would be very useful to know if I'm wrong. Does anyone believe that any of these firms or their affiliated companies, do in fact, make markets or sell order flow. If you or anyone knows please post here or on the Datek Market Maker thread ( Subject 22532 ). Thanks. 1800daytrade.com(Real Tick III)http://www.1800daytrade.com/ A. B.
