I just went on ebay and saw that there are traders selling trading books in lots of 5-7 really cheap! I guess they went belly up and now are trying to make some money back???

THe eminis have been very difficult to trade the past couple of months. I was up over 20k in August, just to see it all go away in sept. and oct.:confused: I am a scalper. By that I mean I am in and out of th market fairly quickly. But this chop fest has killed my account. I am taking a...
