    I am currently short march oats at 189, I will be getting a margin call at 198.50. The fundamentals for oats are horrible right now but corn buying seems to keep pulling it up. Canada has large oat stocks right now, and will be planting a huge amount of oats for the 06/07 marketing year.

    SEC Fines? Short Sales?

    I dont think I can choose an ECN, I have never seen the option to choose this. I was planning on shorting MSFT. I only trade stocks once every couple months. Commodities are my main trading tool.

    What's the dumbest thing you've done?

    CBOT IPO came out and I really wanted in but I told myself I would not pay over 70$ for the stock. It opened at 80$ on the first day and sat there for a couple days.
