Party like 1999.

I'm looking at Apr 11 AAPL 325 Call. It had a $1 spread between bid/ask at some point during the day. Was that an indication of anything or just illiquid market for this option?

Is there any reasonably priced data feed that comes with this indicator for the average trader?

What's the best way to slow things down without shutting off the market completely? I used to position trade but now I'm getting into the habit of daytrading/scalping. Last Friday I had a sizeable loss and it was my wake up call.

I've heard candlestick is not a system to base trade on and should only be used as a TA tool. Any thoughts?
