This is just a problem with my broker lacking the technical sophistication to synchronize the transmission of my orders in such a way as to ensure the best execution. Whether it's worth it for me to switch to a broker with that capability probably depends on how much volume I trade. Either way, this problem can be solved much more simply by the application of some simple order timing algorithms than by regulations attempting, in effect, to repeal the speed of light.
