I just started trading futures, and I happened to make a lot of money on a trading range day. The next day, I started too aggressively, and proceeded to lose allof my profits, and then...

    Backing Away Records

    AAA, alas, I only trade OEX options, which only CBOE handles.\, so I'm stuck with them. Most of the options are not auto-ex'ed. I wish there was at least one more exchange that does OEX options; it would be better for us traders.

    Backing Away Records

    I don't agree that this was a 'too-late-to-cancel' situation. When I modified my order to 10.20 (from 9.50), the market was just moving down normally, not moving fast. There was a few ticks when the ask price even moved down to 10.00, below my modified order of 10.20, and the market was...
