Ya know, reading all this shit is very discouraging..... I am a recent Datek evacuee and thought that by coming to MB, I was making a good decision. But it seems like there is as much distaste for MB as there is for Datek. Please convince me I'm wrong. -jazzman

I know that many users of ARCA have had bad experiences; it is important to point out that these bad experiences had nothing to do with the quality of Realtick III. I think it is wrong for the principals of the Terra Nova/Archipelago ECN, those two principals being Jerry Putnam of Terra Nova Trading, and MarrGwen Townsend of Townsend Analytics, to be involved in any capacity with the ARCA program. They are principals in an ECN, and should not be involved in an order routing program that compromises the fill quality of public orders. I am addressing a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) discussing my concerns and those of other traders regarding ARCA and the behavior of the two principals in the Terra Nova/Archipelago ECN. Please keep those private posts coming, and remember to write down the specifics of your ARCA ripoffs. I have already submitted a letter to the SEC regarding what was a fradulent application for the Terra Nova/Archipelago ECN. For those readers new to this group, please read my posts on this group (MBTrading) starting with #2059, or just click on the underlined SCANSHIFT name at the beginning of this post to find my posting history on this subject.
