Hey Tom,
No no...I was just mentioning some platforms that are used for electronic trading, thats all. However, if a trade is to be executed in a pit, comms are going to be quite a bit higher. Even though you are placing your order electronically, it is still manually filled by a human - very expensive and risky, which is why I have opted to trade only those products that are purely electronic - bonds, currencies, etc. Much cheaper to trade with next to no execution risk.
