On average, how many points can you get each day? From your chart, it seems you could get more than 30 points a day. Incredible!

How did you learn trading?

The T-bonds/notes could have the price stays the same for a few minutes during the market hours. It seldom happens in the indices futures. Does it have any meaning?

I found the chart of TB last year. On 11th Sep, the daily high and low had only one dollar difference. It seems it is not as volatile as the indices. Was it not so senstive to external events?

Is T-bonds also a viable day trading vehicle? Do the traders in this area(including TB, TN etc) more incline to position trading? Did TB also have any big shock history like the stock market in Oct 1987? Thank for any comment.

Assume you are using 5 min bar for trading. The current price is touching your stop loss. Will you wait until the bar finished to exit? Or will you exit immediately?

I heard that one guy mentioned in Schwager's Market Wizards was broken and jailed (after being interviewed by Schwager). Does anyone know who?

I tried using Medved QuoteTracker with IB as data feed. But it seems the intraday charts will only start with data from the time you start the program. It cannot display previous data. Is there any way to sort it out? Thanks!
