But you have no idea that this packet is a trade packet. And why would it be the first packet that counts. Surely a trade has not been made until the full details of the trade are received. Why not use the time when the remote computer is switched on, since it will eventually send a trade order? Ie, this whole thing is plain silliness. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
