gee.. scanshift .. YOU ARE pathetic, i've seen ppl like you before.. when they don't have much usefull to say on the topic (mostly because of not knowing much)... they start accusing everything and everyone in their own mistakes. btw.. i'm sure you're already clicking on my nick .. checking "who is this .. talking to me".. trying to find something to say ..like "don't see much posts from ya, besides these" or something like that. YOU ARE transparent :).. i can see through ya. .. don't waste your time.. i'm not in any way affiliated with mb ..besides being a happy MB customer :) i never thought i would ever answer/say anything to ya, but hell i have a copla minutes tonight and can't stand you anymore. on the ARCA issue - the more tools trader has at his dispose the better, he just needs to know how to use them properly.. so why don't you educate yourself a little bit before jumping. in 2 words... ARCA acts not only like an ECN but mostly like an algorithm/program routing your order in the way when it hits other ECNs first if available, and then preferences MMs ... so you just need to see/know when to use each tool. (and of course you have to know how they work) and if you didn't get a fill.. it doesn't necessarily mean it was ARCA's fault.. most likely ..you, not having enough execution skills and using the wrong route at the moment, ..having some technical problems on your side (ISP, hardware, "sofware incompatibility issues", which is inevitable with any software these days, internettraffic, etc..) ..technical problems on your broker's side.. which is a very rare occasion in MB case.. and gets fixed very fast.. MB's online chat room is excellent and btw.. Ross in technical questions is a big help in particular. ..and finally (and most likely) just bad timing and/or trading too fast/risky/jumpy stocks for you ...and in very, very, very rare occasions you can get caught in "backing away" from a MM, which in case of a reasonably moving stock you can prove easily. so.. btw.. taking into consideration all said above about ARCA routing your orders to other participants... those volume/liquidity numbers of ARCA vs other ECNs, so religiously being used by you, have ABSLOLUTELY no sense in what you are using them for. and those private messages to you (if there are any) only show ppl who don't won't to take any effort in educating themselves and the kind that likes to blame everything/everyone but themselves... and the kind that don't treat trading as a profession... if you are not a trader but investor, you don't need a broker like MBT... etrade, datek, or the kind would do.. just don't run too soon to Mr. Dinky :) change your mindset .. if you wanna be a trader. i probably missed something i wanted to tell ya... but.. actually.. what am i wasting my time here for.. i forgot that you are here not to educate/help others... probably mostly because you don't know sht yourself (the nick rhymes btw :).. sorry for the lengthy message.. and don't bother to answer.. i really don't care about you much.. i already made up my mind about you long time ago when you showed up here first time. happy user of mb/rt3.. and btw, always happy in my life vadim. whew... gotta get some sleep :) "don't worry, be happy!" have a good life and don't bother traders with your BS.
