No, most of the black boxes that drive the markets today, were not trading in 87. Just go back to the terror attacks in London last summer, there was an intra day reversal. Also, the traders who trade in today's environment are a lot different than the ones of yester-year (and I mean that in...

Am I allowed to feel sorry? If you don't know, it is best that you don't, when you do know, you can call me an ass.:cool:

Yeah! Like this.:D http://www.jokaroo.com/funnyvideos/swat_vs_nakedman.html

Hamletspeak could be analogous to what the specialist does. The specs are literate and eloquent in terms of their work, which is fine. The thieving they do lacks objectivity and class, which likens the spec to an ass. zdreg, are there any fit specialist women to seduce, or do we have to...

In that case, it is better to start with options rather than futures. Reason being, that you only put down a premium with options, as opposed to futures, where your stops are going to keep on getting hit. Also you learn the time game, and how to take your profits once you have made it...

Run by choice or by force?

Anyone know of any poor happy people?

Stephen, we all sincerely want you to be a successful trader. However, it is a case of having the right foot forward first. One only knows what it is like to cross a mine field, after one has crossed it. It can be done the easy way or some other way.

Just trying to help. Everyday is a new start. Also filled orders depend on who or when someone/thing takes the opposite trade (i.e. not the one you think should be taken).

Would be interesting to note contracts per day average maximum traded contracts per day

Please take into consideration that orders are not held over night.

I would like to see their trading record first. Until then its all BS.

negative orders are illegal

A black box is another word, I guess, for automated trading on the biggest scale. Consider 1000 or more contracts that need to be bought or sold in a short time frame. It would be impossible for a human to do so, so the computer is pre-programmed to do the buying and selling in an efficient...

Too dangerous, for the individual. Got to realize that you are trading against someone/thing else. Black boxes are most likely programmed to hit stops.

It doesn't matter. But put simply, the dome is like an invisible/transparent paper that sits on the exchange without sitting on it (a bit like a transparent mirror). I think I butchered that one, however, the point is that it is not important when it comes to trading. How or what the...

The one that drives NT for your account depends on your broker.

It's probably more confusing than anything. Need to know what exactly you are asking or trying to do + example? The answer, while accurate, is not understandable unless you have actually been in that situation and experienced it first hand.
