who was that broker?

first futures broker I had I would wake up in the morning and would have positions on that I shouldn't, was through a guy from refco, but it was on a different platform...

I know several people that used them and it happened to them, one of the reasons I switched to IB...

Brokers scare the daylights out of me at times.

The Conoco, Mobil, whatever it was.....back in the 80's.

I was long options and Dupont perhaps went in and the broker talked me out of closing Conoco options way in the money and the stock dropped.

Whatever it was, I do not listen to trading brokers anymore.
