Hello Omega List,
MT's is an alarming post to say the least. Can anyone else confirm
this?
Personally I'm not quite ready to accept the assessment. I watch
eSignal and Quote.com's e-mini prices closely all day. Most of the
time there is virtually no difference except when Q.C goes thru a slow
patch. eSignal I have found to be very reliable.
What's more my fills are virtually always within 1/4 of screen
display. If my quotes were 2-3 seconds behind (to say nothing of 10
seconds) there would be more slippage.
Best regards,
Jim Johnson mailto:jejohn@xxxxxxxxxxx
