You mean, like the lack of capitalization of the word "i" ? You are probably right. But there is way too much nastiness on this forum, so why don't we just give it a rest?
More vitriolic spew with absolutely no facts or even suggestions for fixes. There are always people willing to take your money--both in the pit and electronically. It's hardly fair to say that "THEY" (whoever they are) are taking advantage of electronic markets any more than they're taking advantage of pit markets. Electronic trading is the ultimate leveler. I don't need to be "in" with the Merrill guy to get a fill. I don't need to buy 1000 contracts to get a good price. I don't need to wait for quotes from the pit if I want in or out *now*. Besides, the pit isn't really a paragon of virtue. "Operation Sourmash" and "Operation Hedgeclipper", for example. I'll ask the question I asked of triggertrader--what is the fix that CBOT could implement tomorrow and make you happy?
The CBOT could have "adjusted" the tape so that the daily low price for the pit-bond was the same as the screen-bond. Gosh, then this thread never would have happened.
You know when a poster has to log on to his own thread with an alias that the whole thing is a hilarious sham. Well done, trigger/openoutcry! You've made a believer out of all of us!
Ah, I see. But do you get the email from both of your accounts or did you just set it up to subscribe with the one you're logged into at the moment? You know, the one with 4 posts, all in this thread.
Stop losses on ECBOT are suicidal by nature after normal market hours. Haven't you heard about the gold traders getting raped by using stops in thinly traded sessions?
