The point is to emphasize that the reason why these gentlemen are billionaires is because they are top businessmen who also have a top product (their trading ability, and their team's ability to raise and maintain capital). You don't see one-man traders sitting in their two-person corner office...

Yeh, and the reason why they did well from their trading is because they were capable enough to build a business around it. Big difference.

Let's say you run $5 billion. Until recently, it's become increasingly harder to fill adequate size even in the most liquid markets, e.g., EUR/USD giving 10-15pip spreads. Recently (past 12-18 months) that has come back down. Ultra liquid futures are also possible, e.g., CL. Large market cap...

Why fight the trend?

That's what everyone has been saying since 1995

If you want to play crack spreads, then keep an eye out for a 1-2 month short of HOCL. Not sure about the gas crack.

Varies. Assuming you are day trading. Always good to wait and see the London open around 2am ET and see if they don't play around with it a bit. First 45 mins of NYMEX pit can be tough also. If you are more concerned about getting size filled, well than just watch the volume chart and see...
