Twice burned on electronic trading (JC and LFG) ... twice shy ... like you
I'm all ears for all comments from real users regarding an electronic system
which can take a licking and keep on ticking. I'm researching both PMBe and
FTG, however there seems to be a dearth of comments from real traders using
these systems. Mr. Bardol is Managing Director of Futures Technology Group -
you might look to him for information about his company but don't think
you'll find arms length opinions.
