Mmmm. So, one needs to look at the title, look at the date and time of the post, look at the price of the instrument at that date & time to make sense of the post... too much work for me, I'll just ignore inconclusive posts rather than accommodate smartasses too lazy to type the full price

Wonder why the new-days have dropped the practice, to avoid confusion perhaps? so as not to overload the brain perhaps?
Smartass? For writing 27.50 instead of 3327.50? Are you serious?
Like you couldn't tell 57.50 to mean 3357.50? What did you think it meant? 3257.50 or 3457.50?
27.50 instead of 3327.50 is too confusing for you to understand? It's too much for your brain to handle? Wow, that is mind-blowing.
Indeed I am, if you did it for reasons other than being a smartass then do tell us the necessity for doing it.
No, now you are being unnecessarily obtuse. It was just a shortcut. It was not to be a "smartass".
Let the guy speak for himself, I really want to know what possible reason one would think this "short cut", as you put it, has a place or benefit in the thread
BTW, You & I had words about this very thing in the past, you could not come up with a benefit... just said it isn't confusing, I disagreed for the same reason as now i.e. when one reads the threat perhaps the next day, one needs to go to the graph to look at the price on the date of the post to know is the poster referring to the 3200, 3300 or even 3400 handle. Such posts then are not stand-alone and only a smartass would use the shortcut (considering that in the poster's mind, he's thinking 3327, so why write 27?)

For some reason, I'm getting the impression that your real gripe isn't about the way I post my trades at all. Would you like me to stop posting? If so, just tell me.
I never intimated that it has a "place or benefit" in a thread. I was simply trying to expound upon why someone may simply use 4 digits, and why it may be confused by some people for the full 6 digits? Holy shit, this is intellect gone wild. Should make a video of it and call it reading pr0n?
I was just trying to help clear up possible confusion. K, I'll just back the hell out of this now! This ain't my fight. The road to hell is paved, with, well, this thread and my responses in it. Good grief.
Posing 27.50 instead of 3327.50 is 100% acceptable and has been done as far back as I know
