Funk, I do not hide without a name. People know my name, and what I do. They can read my comments in the major newspapers. I do not ever recall reading about anyone with the name of FUNK? I am guessing that you work for MB Trading, just like Mack works for the Executioner Trading firm (X). A front man with no real name. A con man, who tries to convince a lot of unsophisticated traders that your style would let you hold the 5000 shares of BAMM for 48 minutes!! that you put up the other day. Forty eight (48) minutes, give me a break. I guess a bad typo that you missed on the times for the trades that you put in your post. It is great that other traders, like Tom Pope are finally coming forward to talk about how they have been ripped off by ARCA. I have also received numerous private posts from individuals who have been ripped off, but they do not want to have to suffer abuse from you or Mack if they decide to post. I do trade wiseguy, and spent years on all the trading floors in Chicago prior to having my hip and pelvis shattered in 12 spots. I never saw any floor trader or floor broker at the CBOE, CBT or CME named FUNK? As far as size, I have taken down dozens of times two hundred (200) S&P 500 futures contracts back when they were $500. point. That works out to $100,000 a point; a big number that you would have a hard time comprehending. I read a post where JPR is getting ARCA on January 11th, but maybe if they read this thread and see how people are ripped off by it they will change their minds. One thing for sure, JPR's $10. rate and Real Tick obviously is making employees of MB Trading, X, and Maverick Trading real nervous.
