The Sydney Futures Exchange wants to be the first in the world to move to total electronic trading, opening the way for more small-time punters to get in on one of the biggest games in town. Gone will be the lurid jackets and coded hand signals of 'The Pit' - all the paraphernalia that has separated the Traders from the rest of us. The characters who inhabit this mysterious world are a special breed indeed. Here millions of dollars can be traded on a whim, and won or lost in an instant. It's no place for the faint-hearted. In a game dominated by international banks, financial institutions and big-time speculators, you need nerves of steel and a taste for adrenalin.
