    who are we playing against as retail traders?

    Yes sir Leob, Scalping has tremendously changed my life for the better. I absolutely love it. I am learning how to bet big when I feel I am really right. Are you betting big on contracts sometimes when you feel you are really about to get a win (high probability thinking)? Thanks,
