Yep MDP..I hate to admit it, but I've dropped over 20 grand this summer too. Manual labor would have been more fun..and definitely more profitable. Been suckered into a number of weird trades where brokers restricted online trading, or the SEC actually suspended trading, or the MMs widened the spread so far that I watched a nice profit turn into a loss. What goes on in this market is definitely criminal..and the government condones it.
