E-Trade.. I have been a Customer for 25 years plus and the only thing I do that most don't is when I put in an order I have them route it to a firm of my choice.. Doing so I get great executions and very little step on orders.. The electronic boards and the posting of open orders are there for all MM's and will have other firms do the front running.. This is the problem (especially pre markets),, not front running by any firm placing the order..
Look at stocks traded on NASDAQ w/o much volume and watch the robitis take over quote control.. Look at SILC,SNFCA and SPNS for a couple of min. and watch the bids go up and down w/o trades.. Computers are the cause,, not E-Trade or NITE or any other dominate broker.. hank
