Hi Dan,
Thanks for the info. I see TransAct and Amp have similar order entry
platforms, so is TransAct the developers? Also found out today that E-Cry
filters their data 8 times per second (per customer service) but their rates
are extremely low, CME $1.35 per side Plus NFA and exchange fees!

PS. During Fed Time today on the same puter AB/IB kept working and Ninja
locked up! Yes I know both on same computer but TJ must have put AB in
front??
