    1) $35,000 per year assumes you are NOT increasing your position size. :( 2) FWIW, to my best interpretation and without going into extreme minutia, the $2000 drawdown "tops out" at $50,000 when your account value exceeds $52,000. If you keep growing the account, it's not an issue. If you go...

    My breakout trade in copper - how can do better?

    CL spreads

    1) It could but it's very unlikely. :) 2) The factors unique to the March should keep it at some premium to the April, as long as nothing "too weird" happens between rollover and expiration. :cool:

    Savants like the Rain Man

    1) They look at the world in terms of "black & white". They have a lot of trouble with "shades of gray". That's why Tom Cruise's character scolded "Raymond" for playing the Wheel of Fortune game after making a lot of money from BlackJack in the movie. :cool: 2) Bradley Cooper's character in...
