Hehe, I don't even trade futures and I know this one. :) If there is a lot of demand at a certain price, why would the sellers create contracts to sell there? Couldn't they SELL HIGHER?? And profit more? Couldn't the buyers buy lower? You don't need a fixed amount of something to...

I started by paper trading. I'm trading live now, and there are significant differences between the two, as I expected, but I'd suggest at least being profitable on paper first! Start with that. Make a trading journel, and keep learning from there. :)

I pick A. I have no problem with leaving excess profits on the table. :)

It's as simple as front running the machines. :D

Yeah, the HOD is bugged or something. Charts show up to around 57...

Nice trade! :) Can any vets here give any advice if someone was short this stock before the pop? I wasn't short... but I've never ran into this situation before and want to be well prepared. Thanks, Jonathan

How the heck can do they do that intraday? :( That's kinda scary if you were daytrading it and were short... has anyone ever seen anything like that happen? Stops obviously don't work until you're already like 30% into the red... LOL :(

Are black boxes breaking this market? Today's has FELT absolutely flat. :( Or is everyone on a Holiday today or something? lol

I'm using Vista right now and I love it. Just my opinion though, so you'd have to try it yourself. As far as stability... I've been running Vista RC2 (beta) for over 3 months now and it hasn't crashed once. For whatever that's worth, Jonathan

True, but using the same arguement, why should they get to vote for politicians either? Madness. :(

Hey on the NYSE page it says market volatility will be severely reduced because of the hybrid system. Does that mean there will eventually never be a day trading opprotunity again? :( Serious question...

It'd be a lot cooler to have a computer voting system and just let the people vote on what they want done. It'd be fast and fun. :) We'd get a lot done and could fix things if we made a bad decision. Just use some of that income tax money and buy everyone who doesn't have a computer, a...
