DDT is an IB for Crossland. Dirt cheap and solid. I assume you have checked out Advantage?

I did a search for Variance Futures and all I really found was this thread. Does anybody have any experience with Variance? Thanks...

Great post. It's funny how people seem to take for granted all the hard work that lies behind a successful trader. If I were to ask a musician to teach me to play his/hers instrument in a day, I would be met with disbelief. But somehow I am supposed to teach how I "play" my instruments in a few...

Rand is philosophy for non-philosophers. Her bastardizations of various Nietzsche-concepts are hardly worth reading/viewing.

The whole point of trading the ES is that you easily can scale up to 100 cars. Why would you not do that? If you have an edge, it is like giving money away. You can easily make a good living trading one contract of CL, though. The intraday gyrations make it quite lucrative...
