IMO scalpers have to be able to sell 100 or 200 shares all the time I find that amazing!! A commission of $15 per trade requires a stock of 100 shares to move at least 5/16's just to break even. To make a living you'd have to be chained to the computer night and day! I see a lot of 100 and 200 shares come across Time & sales in volatile stocks, but I believed they were just bulls and bears trying to rally their forces. Dominick

Ap, The per share cost from folks like IB really helps the scalping environment. Maybe that why Naz is trying to take away the inefficiency. I think I should add from my last note that scalping is clearly one best ways to make money in the current environment. Don't know if that sounds contradictory. I don't think I said you can't make money doing it. More that most folks will crash and burn attempting to do it. Alan
