I never said that you were whining. I said that I (doug) have done plenty of whining about the reliability of electronic trading, as have others here. I therefore don't understand why you're so surprised that the system is unreliable and prone to outages. Perhaps you missed those posts. I speak to electronic trading in general, not just LeoWeb. Until the reliability is improved, there will be a great amount of risk in trading electronically, especially in a fast paced market such as the spoos. When it's working properly, it's great. But, when you're in the middle of a trade and the system goes down, look out.
