Thank you, Baron!

Haven't wandered into the Fora in quite some time (years), but do the occasional Search or PM. What happened to the Trader P&L Forum from sometime back? I also wonder why the dates people joined are now gone? Hard (impossible) to tell if someone has 1000+ posts because they've been here for...

Having been a floor trader, I can say that the floor teaches you specific skills for that pit, but also some general things about assessing market action: Is the bid or offer being hit, are the spreads bid, where are the commercials bidding/offering, where are the locals...
