Floored
 

thoguht u guys might be interested.


ep 2 3 4 etc. are in the links

It's getting real bad for these guys. They call us asking for orders. The only problem is they still try to rip us off

lol what's new, floor traders trying to rip people off hahaha...

Just going to make up numbers but eg they called us once and said you bought a Feb gold 1645.0. I look at the quotes and the high is 1644.00.

I give them a half hour to update and then call back asking how the hell did that happen?
The guy's like hold on a sec let me check. While I'm on hold the high changes to 1645.0

a few years ago i put in an order for "big" SP500 futures, not the e-mini. so it had to go through a floor trader, I bought 1... then a few minutes later i sold one, made some good money.... i waited and i waited, and the order never confirmed or came back. I was lucky the market kept going my way, cuz 4 minutes later, i called them and asked about my order, and then... and only THEN did it magically come through. worked in my favor, but i was lucky. never doing another trade through the open outcry system unless im the one doing the yelling hahaha...
