And then because they're sat there looking, they kind of bring emotions in trades and they feel like, Oh, I'm here right now. I have to find a trade. And that becomes quite a dangerous thing. It's like years and years ago when I started trading on dial up Internet and same thing. You finally got the Internet to work. And I thought, Right, I'm on ready to go now. Where's a trade? Let's make it happen. And of course, that's not the way to trade. So you know, fast forward and luckily we don't have dial up any longer, but there's still the same kind of issues that you must g...
