Theo's Poolside Discussion of Trading Delights and Disasters (BYOB)

[Wayne R]

BEST trade ever, in theory...

After hours I liked monitoring Island for anomalies and one day I see TEST has dropped 99 percent to a nickle, a few minutes later it is at 50 bucks.

Hmm, WTF is going on here?

I also see lots of volatility in TESTA, TESTB and TESTC.

OK, lets see what happens if I try to buy some TESTC at a penny. I GOT FILLED!

OK, now lets see what happens if I try to sell it a 100 bucks.

I GOT FILLED! Fucking amazing!

Did this 3 or 4 times until I figured out that the TEST stocks were there only to verify that your ECN was working. They didn't exist.

Took mytrack a month or so to sort out my account but I had a shitload of money on paper for a while....
