maybe I can claim first prize for today? I bled away 2700 euros very early today... Partly do to my system crashing and partly do to the fact that it was the open and couldn't pay attention to everything at once... lesson learned: don't try and do too much crap during the open... - mnx

the firm I trade at has NYOB, NYSE and all ecn's / books in one window... I don't understand why everyone doesn't do it that way.... Why on earth would I want that information split across 2 windows? - mnx
