Online trading is not always instantaneous.
Investors may find that technological "choke points" can slow or prevent their orders from reaching an online firm. For example, problems can occur where:
* an investor's modem, computer, or Internet Service Provider is slow or faulty;
* a broker-dealer has inadequate hardware or its Internet Service Provider is slow or delayed; or
* traffic on the Internet is heavy, slowing down overall usage.
A capacity problem or limitation at any of these choke points can cause a delay or failure in an investor's attempt to access an online firm's automated trading system.
