Just as an aside:
I'm well into the process of developing my own direct-chart trading
interface with IB as the broker.
We'll see if that's fast enough or not. I'm betting that it is.
But, I principally trade support/resistance, not momentum, so that
may be the reason I feel so confident that order speed is not a big
issue.
