1) Speed
  Though you can't see our multiple connections to the Internet, multi-threaded clients, load balancing, and distributed processing you can see our instant quotes, charting and executions.

2) Reliability
  Our computer engineers call it "redundancy," and it is about having more equipment to support users than we absolutely need.  You call it reliability, because it all means you get connected when you open your Trading System, you get the real time market data, your trades get through... and when you get disconnected accidentally, you never know it, because our redundant systems note the break and reestablish the connection immediately.

3) Flexible Order Routing
  Fast and accurate order execution at the best price is what all traders want.  We give you this through our exclusive Direct Order Routing System which seeks the best price/execution mix automatically.  Pro traders can also route orders to specific ECNs or Market Makers.
