32000 lots ... 400000 $ per tick completely drunk...Imagine the hangover.:eek:

It was MF employees who liquidated the position( creating the biggest spike ever on wheat ) and he has to pay 141 M$??? That's crazy...I have no sympathy for him but most of the loss came from the stupid guy who sent a 32000 lots market order and liquidated the position...
