          How much do you have to know to scalp. I could teach Koko the Gorilla to scalp.

            I think Mr Pags met good scalping.. Finding even scalps or better. You usually only have apx 45 seconds to get these before books move lines.

              and what happens if you only get one side in. Do you eat a loss?

                it like scalping concert tickets. You buy at one price and sell em for more. If you dont sell em before the concert you get stuck with a seat to the show so you wanna make sure you have buyers for for what you are orderin.

                      If you don't know that then why not ask Koko the Gorilla?

                        He can't. Koko is sick of explaining everything to him, seven or eight times!

                              Well, right now in 2007 scalping and arbitrage means different thing. Now its a synonym of "yesterday".

                                I think they need to write a script for these forum that appends "For Americans" to the end of each post.

                                    I think SBR should write a script that adds "Kool-Aid-drinking, Jonathan-Lowe-fellating idiot" to the end of each of your posts.
