yes u r right in a way, but the method I was taught initially benefited from a sat link as I learnt to read vol & sometimes it was necessary to manipulate this, something u couldn't do with Internet.
the other benefit is it doesn't put pressure on your Internet link to brokers etc. my methods have changed somewhat now & I have been trialling an Internet feed from another supplier via internet, seems pretty good & quite a bit cheaper.
I would recommend anybody to check many sources on this, as I think there r so many different trading styles & u have to find the right package to meet your needs. I just went with the one that I learnt on without looking around..........something I just tend to do.
Eric is ok & will just help u with anything u require, if u need it
