    What is your single biggest fear in life?

    haha. At first I was like, whoa, that was kind of cool. While walking across the street I kind of realized I would've gotten pretty fucked up if that car hit me, and I just thought it was funny. I've never pissed my pants from fear, and I've been skydiving, big rollercoasters, even as a little...

    Do people really let large limit orders sit on the books?

    Why do you say that? It seems to me like there was some large sell orders above the 71.20 area, which ended up dragging the average up even as other smaller orders got placed/pulled during the time period. Around 1 when it rallied the sells got lifted out (or pulled). Also, I'm a little...

    What is your single biggest fear in life?

    I'd actually lean towards agreeing. I've been trying to think of what I fear the most for the past 10 minutes and I really can't think of much; I basically have no fear of death, at all. Today I walked out from behind a parked car and the instant I came out a car came within about a...

    Do people really let large limit orders sit on the books?

    Similar stuff happens when big orders get lifted, not just cancelled. For example, a thin stock has like 500 lots offered, its not infrequent to see those 50k shares either printed all at once or eaten away by DOT in a matter of seconds and then have ECNs instantly - even before the 50k is on...

    Get your 55 and apply to be a nasdaq market maker. Oh, you do know that you have to make a market in the stock, all day, every day, no matter what, right?

    Is the wonderfull world of shorting on downticks comming to an end????

    Umm... that's because you're trying to get short on down ticks for stocks that aren't on the reg SHO pilot list. If anything, this list will probably expand and eventually include all stocks.

    I can't believe what I just did - and it worked!!!

    What kind of question is that? When you buy, price goes up. If someone else needed to buy as well, and the offers dried up, they may have been forced to bid it higher.

    Copper Spreads

    It's in backwardation most likely because of a supply issue. There is almost always a fundamental reason why front month is in such high demand, and unless you have some copper you can deliver it may not be worth the risk.

    "no rollover" account

    FXCM mini does not give you a "muslim" rollover. I have no idea why a broker would be stupid enough to offer something like this. If you happen to find one, I'd love to hear about it.

    Hedging with ETFs vs. future?

    I would go with SPY, you save on comissions by trading less shares to get the same exposure, and you dont need to have a diff platform (unless yours supports multiple markets like this) open to hit the futs.
