So, like the subject says, I'm new here.  I have a few questions if you all don't mind.
Can somebody point me in the direction of a trading platform for bitcoins?  Something I can use to place orders without having to go to
Mt. Gox every time I want to place an order oh and trailing stops and stop limit order functions would be nice .  Do such things exist?
I don't know what to do with the stuff on the trade api page on Mt. Gox.
Also, do Bitcoin exchanges have MMs (market makers)?  Bitcoins (bitcoin = penny stock) are extremely volatile.  
I do think however, that with the liquidation of a couple portfolios and some finesse, I might be able to help out a little.
It is vital for a "currency" to be stable.  
And as a small business owner, It is nearly impossible for everyday business' that might be interested to take that leap.  
Though, I am interested!!! Which is why I'm here  If I can reduce the risk to my business, I'll have no quarrels accepting bitcoins

I can't wait to delve into this further.  Have a good night everybody.
