You should check out the signals for the brokerages . . . particularly DB's and REFCO's. Brilliant.
Refco went out of business in 2005 and their former CEO is currently in prison.
good find man
LOL @ DB... nice one

Do traders still use trading hand signals to inform trading strategies? If so, where should I find those information about the signals?
Yes they do. Will vary slightly depending on the exchange/product. Here is something to start with though
