Yeah, the future just put in some divergences...maybe some consolidation here,

Why would a FMC have off balance sheet holdings?

Ahh OK, just skimmed the post.

A couple of things although I suppose other posters covered these points. While I wouldn't disparage any day trading profits as it is a difficult endeavor, $600 and change profit per contract in a month is hardly impressive for someone looking for followers. And secondly, $2000 per contract...

The 203MM is largely customer funds and is offset by equal liability.

Will Surf be handing out Cohiba's or El Producto's?

Don't misplace your bullet Barney.

I've been day trading manually for going on 19 years. I don't code but will if it becomes necessary. I cut my teeth on the old ER which had price action as fast and violent as any equity futures market today. To the OP, don't let someone's opinion determine what you can or cannot do...and that...

I was part of a small group of pro's for several years. We all liked and respected each other and truly enjoyed each others company. We broke it up for the reasons I stated but there are always trade-offs. Moral of the story, it was a good experience but came at a cost of P&L. So I am not saying...
