  1. Hi, I am in a transition to day trading futures (ES) and I'm in the process of choosing a futures broker. Consequently I'm interesting in learning more about connection types, specifically in regards to order execution speed. I am currently using NinjaTrader 7 and a Kinetick (DTN IQ Feed optimized for NT7) data feed. 1) What role do broker connection types play in order execution speed? a) For example if two brokers use the same connection type, e.g. Trading Technologies (TT), will the order execution speeds be the same by default? b) Or do other factors come into play, e.g. broker bandwidth, broker relations with the exchange, etc? 2) If I'm using an unfiltered data feed and only need a broker for order placement, then do I need to to worry about connection type? If so, what types of things should I be considering? 3) What are API and FIX? Thanks
