Don,

When you relate the performance of individual BT traders (other than yourself), do you have their permission to publicize such results? While I am not the trader who made over 100K in a morning, I would not like that result (or any other result or mine) put up on a public message board, if I was such a trader. Many traders do not share their results even with other members of their office, let alone the rest of the world. Are we not a "proprietary" trading firm, not a public firm?

I never divulge any single traders name or account or anything like that. This "record" thing kind of took on a life ot its own a while back, and I thought it might help cheer people up a bit. All trader numbers are reported monthly to regulators, no where else. And, in this case, there were several who did the same thing.

I respect your privacy issues.

4 longs, 8 shorts, grossed $3.05. Similar results yesterday. The action in the first few minutes wasn't too wild, so I found it a lot easier to manage things.
