I have a close family member who's been a pretty big local for a long time at CME, and my backers are all floor guys that successfully made the transition. The stories they tell are amazing...a different world, on the floor. From what I gather now, its all the same stuff now on the screens but just a different language, if you will. I'm still trying to figure out if the market is short or long and what paper is trying to do, its just done differently now.
And he said he usually does 500 share lots. So he made more money in the last 2 days than the "average Joe" does all year trading 500 share lots, paying $.01/sh with $100K in BP? And his proof is one random entry and exit he made up for a $.77 winner? That's about $375 on 500 shares. Better have several dozen more of those (without any losers, lol) to make more than the "average Joe" does in an entire year.... Honestly, what type of response did you expect when you come on here posting with that attitude? What do you want, a cookie?
