Like you *aren't* getting ripped in the open outcry pit!?

I'm not talking theoretically here, Mark.  I've compared the fills in 
the ND pit to the fills in the NQ, side-by-side.  On average I'm 
getting $300-400 in extra profit on every trade by trading 
electronically.  I'm not stupid enough to throw away free money.

And I'd use the NQ and ES even if the fills were no better.  I find 
the electronic market much more transparent and easier to work with.  
I don't have to worry about pit boys playing games with me.  It's a 
much more open and level playing field.

I don't believe I ever said I NEED the better fill to make a profit.  
It just makes me MORE profit, and it does it better and faster with 
less aggravation.  What's not to like?

The only thing that bugs me about the electronic market is that it's 
risky to use regular stops.  Sometimes you hit air pockets of 
liquidity and the market spikes more than it would in the pit.  But 
if you're aware of that, it's not that hard to work around.
