Hey Mark,

I've been using TS6 and eFloorTrade's DDETrade module interface to PATS and
it's been very good so far. www.efloortrade.com

The DLL can even pole PATS for your position size so that you can error
check every bar and email to your phone if something goes wrong, then punch
in the broker number to fix it. I also am notified of any power fluctuations
or failures. It's a brave new world...

I've been *trying* to move over to 2000i with Dynastore for Realtick (TAL)
since I felt that would have the least lag of all, but (suprise), I'm having
some issues with Realtick not auto re-connecting if the line is dropped for
any reason, even after changing the .ini file. TS6 nearly always
autoconnects by itself... so I'm not ready to transition yet.

That's what I got so far... anyone else?

Best regards,

Gene Pope
