[10:52] <@NihabaAshi> Interesting concept...this guy is doing a streaming live trade...
[10:52] <@NihabaAshi>
http://www.stickam.com/largeChat.do?log ... =177265680[10:52] <@NihabaAshi> There's others but its very difficult to find them via the "search" function @ stickham.com
[10:53] <@NihabaAshi> Live streaming video & audio
[10:53] <+szubaark> good quality?
[10:54] <@NihabaAshi> Looks ok but the audio comes and goes...I'm not sure if the traders is intentionally m
[10:54] <@NihabaAshi> "muting" the audio until he's ready to talk.
[10:55] <@NihabaAshi> Yeah...he's "muting" his audio until he's ready to talk..then you can hear him talk.
[10:56] <@NihabaAshi> There's another guy that does the same thing but he accidentally showed his broker account info...
[10:56] <@NihabaAshi> haven't seen him since that mistake
![smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_chatsmile.gif)
[10:56] <+szubaark> it updates every "5" seconds..that can be huge differance in Ticks
[10:56] <@NihabaAshi> He probably woke up the next day found out his money had been illegally transfered out

[11:03] <+szubaark> right at corner in "Chat window" it says "update every 5 sec"
[11:04] <@NihabaAshi> If so...why doesn't his audio get split into every 5 seconds
![question ?](./images/smilies/emoticonquestion.gif)
[11:04] <@NihabaAshi> I know he's muting it until he has something to say...full sentences...not broken sentences.
