I in no way was intending to impugn Lind by my post. As I am new to futures trading in practice (I have been working on several systems for years), I am very interested in hearing the collective experience of those of you who have been actively trading for some time. If any of you have any opinions on brokers, good and bad, please let me know. Thanks.

Yeah, but he has a point. I don't care for LW myself, to be honest, but that has nothing to do with it. Taking over an hour for a fill is unacceptable. I was not here today, and don't know what happened, but the concept of waiting so long for the result of a pit order is outrageous. I had a Limit Sell in late Thursday, for example, on the spoo at 1351.50; it ticked there a few times and went lower. I waited perhaps 3 minutes, called the desk, and they gave me an "Unable". 60 minutes? Victor Neiderhoffer went broke in less time, probably.
