I have never traded futures or commodities but have traded equities for the
past few years. I use Level II and have traded both in a trading office and
at home. I not only scalp large positions for small moves but also trade
systems for longer positions (a few days). I wouldn't use any other way of
trading. Feel free to privatley e-mail me for any more information.

Stewart I have been considering the same because the executions are so much
better and faster than it is with commodities. Open outcry is going to keep
it this way in futures until that changes. So equity trading large blocks
for small moves looks appealing to me. So I second your post to ask the same.
Thanks
