    A UK/Ireland Traders Board?

    Baron, If you are counting U.K. traders- here is another one ! Best part of trading U.S. from here is that you can "lie in" till about noon and still not miss trading the open :-) Until we get our own forum, we can always clutter up the other forums with our threads and/or posts :-)...
