Of course he exists. He should only be less stupid then all the others. That would be enough to be the best.

He's from Harvard. Called Mark I.

That's him. On the right.

Always wondered if a mouse with a metal collar was crawling around in that machine, would take affect the output? Or would it become a Toasty mouse? I also wonder if traders just come up with insane ideas and questions? Like how far is fast?

At 3:45 p.m., Grace Murray Hopper records the first computer bug in her log book as she worked on the Harvard Mark II. The problem was traced to a moth stuck between a relay in the machine, which Hopper duly taped into the Mark II's log book with the explanation: “First actual case of bug being found.”

That mouse would have been the first computer mouse in her log book =P
What if a bug would have been a mouse ? A mouse would be a bug ?

By the way, you should know that less and less people use "tape reading" expression.
Indeed, Finance did some nice progresses since the 19th Century.
A decade ago, High Frequency Trading appeared and killed classic tape reading traders.
Today, "Order book trading" should be more appropriate, I think this is the only viable way to trade the "tape" in the 21th century. But I am opened to the discussion because I never trade order book and I will never for sure.

May be we should call that a "buy ask" reading trader but I think most of us call them the tape reading trader.
