yup. Just once. I can't do that on our software, It would block you.

Yes. And take classes to get the score up.

I was bidding $45.05 for 500 shares. I clicked on the bid, which created a sell order, but forgot to switch to buy. I wanted to add another 500 shares. Instead, I got an execution to both buy and sell 500 shares at the same time.

When I was a MM pre-2011, we had what we called a cabinet bid/offer to close only. Any customer that was closing, could submit an order to buy/sell at $0.01. As a MM, I could buy/sell at $0.01 to open or close, but could not bid or offer at $0.01 to open. Not sure if it is the same today. Those...

I sold my own bid once!

I've done it. I think we all have.

The located is good for the day and recycles. If I pay for 2000 shares, I can short 2000, buy back, short 2000, buy back..etc.

You set up your own plan for each trade and follow it. It is really that simple.

We agree. In addition, if I thought support was 80, and that was my max pain, and I buy a little at 85, 84, 83 with a stop at 79, and I start buying that 78, 75, that is bad.

To me, averaging down means taking a losing trade, adding more to it, when you should be exiting, because your assumptions were wrong. Scaling into a position over time, is not the same because your expectations and assumption have not been breached. You are simply assuming you will never know...

You are talking about the cost of a large coffee. You should base your entry and exit on other Parameters.

I can place scale orders at different levels hoping the future goes against me and I pick up at each price, looking for a reversion later. I want to buy at each price, even though I lose in the short term. I have done this in the past looking to profit from sweep orders. You can't expect to make...

Why would you forget? If you did, they are cash settled. Have you ever stayed long/short a few futures for more than a week?
