    Short CL @ $95.61

    I am not being facetious when i say this, I hope one day I can be big enough to place trades on and take heat with a more macro prospective. My friends that do make a lot more money than I do right now. For me right now I am in and out all day in a lot of markets. Good trading to you sir.

    Nathan, you are the one who is calling everyone an asshole we are trying to help you but it seems you are beyond help, EPrado has traded for 16 years and I have for 5; acting like you are is not going to help you but hinder your progress as a trader.

    I am looking for a good prop in Chicago!

    don't get too excited it takes at least 2-3 years to make $ consistently trading futures and you will probably go through your own money and/or go to 3-4 firms before you make it, (if you ever do) I know because I did. It's just how it works.
