Tsk, tsk! Didn't anybody ever teach you basic math?!? Let's see... 50,000 transactions/24 hours = 2,083 per hour. 2,083/60 minutes = 35 per minute. 35/60 seconds = about 1 transaction every second. Heck, my 10 year old calculator can do that. Oh! Wait! You're concerned about putting an order in at 9:30 in the morning! How stupid of me. You actually want to use their system to trade like a real trader! Goodness, gracious me. Am I a nimnal! I guess big John had me going there for while. Seriously, if Datek and company don't get their act together quickly they are going to lose one more customer. Regards, Dan.
