I do not mean to sound like an ass, but I feel that folks should have a trading history. Even if it is a small bomb, PIF or something before jumping in on a Secret Santa. I know we face a catch 22 where people need to be given opportunities to establish a history. There are plenty of those on this board including the newbie sampler thread. Secret Santa is a tad larger in scale for first-timers, imho. When I first started, I thought that I "got it", but in retrospect, it took me a little while trading and PIF'ing etc. to really "get it".
