Hah I wish. Our system processes trades/drops at the random whim of schedulers. Only they know the time that it will be processed. There could be more important things occurring...drafting, putting out fires, BSing, online shopping & game playing :-/

Some schedulers are great, but most the time I have to wait 1 to 4+ hours on trades

Real time trip trading would be a huge upgrade. At least then we could remove the scheduler from the loop and a lot of the shadiness that goes along with it.

For the company response we can't because of Priority Makeup. I'd personally be willing to give up the scheduling aspect of PMU for realtime trip trading. I believe this is being addressed in negotiations (if and when that ever happens again :-/)
