Quote from TGregg:

And what about the phrase "one eighty two even"?

That is the price of the bid ask spread. 180 bid and 200 offer.

YW, TGregg. I think others who have already responded summed up very nicely their answers to your questions. It took me a while to get used to the broadcasterâs lingo; but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty straightforward. And yes, as Jordan pointed out, watching the price on the screen at the same time youâre listening, helped a lot at the beginning.

I wouldn't suggest this one to newbies tho... it will tend to make you overtrade.

Start with something slower, like xsquawk. They give you a 5 day trial too. Ben (@realtimefutures) might be a little overwelhming to start with.

But the squawk is an essential i would say.
MUST HAVE.

I can read off the screen fast than they do.
