Never questioned that ATSs can work. But it is important to see in which league the code mentioned in the NYT article is playing (assuming...
Don't worry. You are much smarter than you think. Just remember that it was a "gut feeling" (in fact it was the brain) that brought you to...
What about: 4.a Let the ATS do its work untouched 4.b Take time to aquire more practice with simulated trading cons: for a short time you...
Go to the "Market Value" section in your "Account" window. To the right of the header line there will probably be a green "+" sign. Clicking on...
No, unfortunately no support at all for roll-over on contracts. Right the opposite: Expect pain when trying to glue things (futures with...

No problem (assuming you use ActiveX for interfacing, if you use C++ or Java adapt accordingly) : You can use the "reqMktDataEx()" sub for...
They are absolutely strict about it and it does not at all matter where you live. I had a Euro-based account and traded US stocks only...
Au contraire: An expensive feed may be the first step to ruin. Assuming that it takes 2 years to get profitable and you pay 120 per month...

I have been with OT also and think I know how you feel. Yes, they had a pretty good design for their API, not such a mess as e.g. IB. If...
